Tourniquet Danger #shorts

[MagicPrepper]

If you are looking for quality, American made tourniquet options, then I suggest:
North American Rescue C-A-T or
TACMED Solutions SOF Toruniquets

SWAT medic here and this is just my opinion. The majority of constriction pressure should come from tightening the strap. The windlass rod is only meant to be twisted once or twice for additional compression. The minimal amount of fabric/material attached to the rod will not allow 7 rotations, as demonstrated in this video, and should not be expected to withstand this amount shear force. Tourniquet application failure is most likely due to improper application tactics.

As the old saying goes “You get what you pay for!”.

[rackemwells]

It’s failing because it’s not to be turned until failure. You pre-tension when putting it on and only turn it a handful of times. Said so by a US Army combat medic… 👍🏻

[martinholm]

Agree, get real ones!
Also, the pre tension is key, shouldn't need more than 1 -1, ½ turn. The Tourniquet should be considered a one time use, get an extra if you want to test/train with it.
Stay safe.

i bet that felt great!
thanks for the demonstration, Magic :)

As a Marine who is trained in TCCC if you have to turn it more than 1.5 times you didnt pull the strap through the loop hard enough. These are windless tourniquets and they fail when improperly used. The one seen here are in Marine corp IFACS they work.

Thank you Sir. I very much enjoy your content. It’s a pleasure to watch and learn from like minded people.

[outlawsix]

It's important for everyone to learn how to use the CAT, RAT and SWAT-T tourniquets.

DO NOT cheap out on life saving equipment. BUT when u apply a tourniquet most of the pressure should be given when u pull the strap tight. The windless shouldn’t require more than 1 or 2 turns. Id love to see if it works better then? But I think even if it does I still just recommend the cat 7

[jamesjohnson]

I ordered 4 North American CATs day before yesterday. Glad I just watched this video. Thanks Magic.

[teddygramsgg]

I have both CAT and SOF tourniquets and recently tested the B-1 Tourniquet and was very impressed.

[kanejakejimmy]

And this is why I watch your channel. Thanks Buddy! This likely just cost my a couple hundred bucks... and saved my life!

[chrispewkreme]

Another options I like is SWAT-T. They’re super simple and work for children and pets.

[WanderingSwitchback]

This is a great demonstration! Thank you for this!

[The_gear_review_channel]

Great demonstration. Thank you for sharing

[kimdearrington]

How many times do they recommend that you turn them after pulling the strap tight?

[JW-hkzi]

Could you supply a brand name or how to purchase one for analysis? Thank you.

[IndianaDundee]

Just bought 3 earlier this week. Thanks for the heads up.
