Here is a great training idea from a fellow vehicle rescue instructor in Germany. It has some great ideas for training... The Moditech Crash Recovery System ("CRS") is a valuable tool for rescuers that are called to perform vehicle extrication of trapped occupants at vehicle accidents. It allows rescuers to gather technical information about the vehicle in a short period of time. Using the CRS as part of the size-up of the vehicle, for example to identify cut versus non-cut areas, the overall safety to the rescue operation can be increased while the extrication time can be shortened. Theoretical trainingIt is still possible to demonstrate the use of the Crash Recovery System and the necessary procedures on new vehicles. Local car dealerships will normally support this type of training for emergency responders by providing late model vehicles, as long as nothing will be destroyed or damaged. To support the visualisation of the different components integrated in the vehicle, such as airbags, seatbelt pretensioners..... |
