Aerial Rescue

[Conor Fitzpatrick]

Hi everyone, 

 

I have my Tree Climbing and Aerial Rescue re-take this coming Tuesday and wanted some advice on a few points, please. 

 

When attaching the casualty to your harness, can you wrap a prusik loop around their webbing and clip on onto your webbing with a carabiner? 

 

Rescue A: can you drop one of your lines when you attach casualties harness bridge to bridge? Or, can you only do this on rescue B after you have attached casualty to your system with another friction to their main attachment ring? 

 

Rescue B on a Pole: once connecting the casualty to the relevant points, do you unclip your flip-line and descend with them or do you keep your flip-line attached and spike down with them on your system? 

 

I hope that makes sense and any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Conor
