Sept 23/03 Extrication Practice

Car stabilized, victims inside, ambulance guy throwing himself into the job

Time to remove the roof (normal procedure)

Based on the "no pain - no gain" theory, we volunteered the biggest guy to be victim...trying to get him into a neck brace and backboard was a chore (just like real life accidents).  Here the crew is performing our famous tickle maneuver, designed to make big people wiggle...

Now this is how to do it...cspine stabilized, getting ready to remove vehicle from around victim.
