Rescue Methods FR1: Extrication Concepts

[WTFgamers]

Thanks a ton for these videos, I have just gotten onto the local rescue squad in my town and your content is easy to understand and very educational, appreciate it

different strokes for different folks, all departments have diff techniques and not all work on every accident as no accident is the same. Thanks for the video. And i like the battery operated extrication equipment, much nicer than dragging around a pair of hydraulic hoses on a jaws and starting a pump

I know this is 7 years old but there are some takeaways for me. Spreading from the top down makes sense. As far as the fold over, why not cut the bottom of B post then cut the top instead of spending an extra 3-5 minutes bending it with an extra tool. We removed our rams from pour extrication tools since the spreaders can do almost anything a ram can do.

I've recently joined a rescue organization and have been trolling through you tube for tips to help my training. Not once have I seen just try the door handle first to see if the door is unlocked and open. Is there a reason for this. Cheers Tony

YouTube is a hella of a website, no other explanation as to why I’m watching videos like this a 2:50 in the morning. I’ll probably never even get within arms reach of a tool like that. (Hopefully because that would mean I’m the one being cut out ) lol

Is this called a B post blow out ? Not sure the name of this

[Mrgnothing]

why dont they just cut the posts with a saw and the hydraulic cutters. also why cant they use spreaders to take the doors off but putting them by the hinges

Looks like an over complicated B-post drop to me. Idk just have 20 years experience.
