aerial rescue

[andrew t]

My boss is just about to invest in a aerial rescue kit just wondered what makes a complete kit i have seen a kit from stein which looks great but it looks like you would need to add to this any ideas pictures videos links would be great cheers.

this depends.........do you need kit for pole rescues when on a flip line and spikes? My rescue kit comprises of.....a spare climbing kit...harness, lanyard, rope all set to go, a couple of extra slings and pulleys and something sharp, i also have a set up for pole rescue which is a bag with a rope, a Lorry belay device and a couple of slings....one note make sure all climbers have a soft point in their wire core flip lines so in an emrgancy you can cut them free, trying to haul up a 90kg bloke who is ko's or in shock takes time and kit for lifiting. I dont know what kit you mean with the stein, have you got a link?

Cheers for your reply the aerial rescue course i went on did not teach the pole rescue so your ideas on equipment sound great i will have a look in to that also my groundie is doing his ticket soon so i can learn of him the ins and outs .I havent used the wire core flip line for a long time but if i get one i will buy the cut off cord that conects to the harness.Dont know how to do links but it would be on fletcher steuwart web site:blushing:cheers again:thumbup:
