Product Description
With over 20,000 copies sold, the CMC Rope Rescue Manual has become the standard reference for many departments and rope rescue training programs. The manual reflects what we've learned through many years of responding to resuces and teaching hundreds of students. Now in its third edition, the manual has been updated and several new chapters have been added. The extensive use of illustrations and step-by-step procedures help the reader develop or expand rope rescue knowledge and skills. Topics include: safety, equipment, rappelling, pick-offs, stretcher evacuations, patient packaging, improvised high-anchor points, and organizing the response. More than 240 illustrations and photos take you step-by-step through lowering and raising systems, mechanical advantage, and rappel based rescues.
From the Publisher
Rappels, either during training or on operations, are hazardous activities. Risk management is a result of experience, training, and good personal judgment. It is the user's responsibility to obtain competent instruction, choose quality equipment and use adequate safety procedures.
