Using a Speedline in a Pinned Climber Rescue - Scenario 1 - 2020 TreeStuff Rescue Rally

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Excellent job. Great team work right here. I really like how the climber was behind the injured person and did not keep letting the person (Dean) keep flopping back over. Well done Team Eugene, well done. Jim H. Albany

I really like the teamwork and managing EMS when they show up. "I'm listening but I got to keep working ok?". The priority is getting the guy out of the tree and EMS is fit in as capacity allows. From a competency standpoint, getting a rigging system set up quickly to move a piece of wood is good practice. However, and maybe outside the scope of this event, I think many people will have the mindset of "pinned climber" = "what do I need to cut to solve this?" and I don't think that mindset is wrong. In most cases, it's going to be faster and simpler, and considering everyone is going to be freaking out to a greater or lesser degree in a real event, there are some serious benefits to having a simple plan.

wow we had a real life situation like this where I work, the story was slightly different . there were power lines and the dead top of a pine tree was loaded on the climber . luckily we had a bucket truck , and access . talk about PANIC we all were cussin up storm .. but while the yelling was going on . all the training kick in high gear. The climber lived , n back at work . a few stitches and a bump on the head , sad we never talk about that day at all .. march 20, 2020 9:30 am i remember all the details .. thanks tree stuff this was an excellent rescue scenario !

While not actually a speed line I like the method. Curious, I’ve watched all these rescues and not one spurred up and cut the piece free or smaller. I realize this is training but in real life or death I would not hesitate to spur up, tie in, assess climbers system and either cut piece smaller and free drop it. Especially as depicted in opening drawing. Good job guys btw love the new podcast!👍🏽💪🏽🤙🏽

not sure if you guys cares but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother these days xD

[@raulzeke7550]

@Bronson Fernando definitely, been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :D

3 years later…are these the freethinking podcast crew? Some of the voices sound familiar. I really miss that podcast. Hope things are well for all😊

No one in his right mind would've taken the time to set up rigging and lower the wood, they would've just tied it off and got the man down.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Hisslave1 you have to lift it to get the guy down right? Because he is pinned by the weight of it.

[@Hisslave1]

@@user-ku2qb1pq7e Even if the scenario said he was pinned, the piece might weigh 50 lbs. max. Could easily be thrown or cut in the clear. I've climbed for 40 years and been through as many aerial rescue classes and have only had to lower one man, but in a real situation, you're going to move as quickly as possible to get the guy on the ground safely. I'm not being critical, just realistic. If the script says you've got to lift and lower the piece, I get it.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Hisslave1 the scenario is on the main page www.Treestuff.com/rescue-rally , the log was to weigh ‘more than a single worker could lift’.
