Alpine Rescue - Episode 2 - Angels of Mont Blanc

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2014
- A hair-raising 6 part adventure series set in the alpine resort of Chamonix, located at the heart of the French Alps. Following the Mountain Rescue Team (PGHM) as they rescue climbers and skiers from the Mount Blanc Region above the town.
The area is the climbing mecca of the world and its rescue team the busiest and the most respected. The terrain is extreme and virtually every rescue involves helicopter winching, often from sheer cliffs and ice faces.
Filmed during the peak climbing season in summer, the team risk their lives to save others in this beautiful but dangerous environment. A must watch for anyone interested in the tallest mountains in Europe or understanding the work performed by the world's premier mountain rescue service.
This 2001 documentary was produced by Pioneer Productions for Channel 5.
Pioneer Productions has strong links with the rescue team and is experienced at filming under extreme conditions. The specialist trauma unit at the Chamonix hospital, which is constantly under threat of closure, deals with anything from broken necks and backs to hypothermia and frostbite.
Demonetised - mountain rescue unsuitable for advertisers.
Unreal too scary for the public I guess.
Hm, you'd think getting this into the eyes of the public would make for a good warning
Everyone involved in these rescues, especially the pilots, our absolute heroes! Even though this series might be 15 years old, it is incredibly inspiring and these rescuers are the best.
johngo6283 there is a series of 45-50 min videos called mountain rescue in Mt Blanc under Highway to hell. Watch them they are fantastic.
I like the fact that this program follows up with the patient to let us know if the person is alright.
I apreciate that the team follow through to show the end of each case.
Wow the speed of execution for arrival and departure is amazing by the flight crew, those are very quick winch turn around. These guys have got it down to an art.
These pilots are amazingly skilled as are the rest of the team. I cannot believe how they can find people on such huge mountains. Thanks to all the daring and skilled rescuers!
I wish I had that level of piloting skill
Gracias a la intervención rápida del Equipo de Rescate, al Equipo Medico en la Alta Montaña y el Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital, muchas personas han vuelto a "Nacer" y contar sus vivencias, del accidente....Enhorabuena a estos Angeles de la Humanidad.
I was there when the Mountain Rescue helicopter took terribly injured Michael Schumacher off the mountain above Meribel. Sad day.
Definitely won't be trying paragliding any time soon.
Question is would you have done it if you didn't know what the potential danger was? This comment isn't directly a reply to yours but I see a-lot of people saying "oh I will never go climbing" when they see a video of someone falling etc, goes for climbing videos, these Mont Blanc rescue videos, surfing, basejumping and mountaineering etc. most of the people commenting probably never tried it in the first place.
sounds to me like most accidents happen with un-experienced people who don't know the risks and still go for it. rather than with people who know what the potential risks are and still do it.
so just because it's horrible to fall while paragliding it shouldn't stop you from doing it, as long as you get the knowledge you need and accept the risk.
I climb quite a bit, so far only top rope and bouldering. and in my gym they've had a few ground falls and a few of those where serious, and almost all of those ground falls was from people who had no clue on how to belay and still let their buddy get up to 13m and then drop into the floor...
me too. i will stay on the ground tx
Badly clothed, no climbing gear. These People have no business being on mont blanc. Easy access does not equal easy mountain.
for sure !
Naw man, they got lost on the way to Italy.
Inexperienced and ill-equipped climbers do make mountain search and rescue even more difficult. It does takes a great amount of skill to fly a helicopter here and rescuers risk their lives. French officials often complain about tourist climbers i.e. hikers and day troopers. Even technical climbers can have bad luck or accidents but lack of planning and prep make odds worst.
and probably no insurance
@@rhomai nahhh most of the people are European. health insurance is abundant, i'm sure. Maybe that's why they're more adventurous
Hikers , day trippers and the enthusiastic amateurs are the scourge of mountain rescue around the world.
I just came across this comment after having been rescued by the fine rescuers in Chamonix about 3 weeks ago. To say hikers are the scourge of mountain rescue is very elitist. I am an experienced hiker from Colorado. I was doing a pretty easy hike (Grand Balcon Nord from Plan d’Aiguille to Montenvers) - as I was crossing a stream, I slipped on a rock and broke my ankle - a stupid way to injure myself, but isn’t that always the case? Your comment implies that one has to be a professional mountaineer to even go on an easy hike in the mountains, and if you get hurt you’re somehow wasting rescue resources. I and many others are fit and capable hikers who just have an accident - I wasn’t doing anything above my skill level. It’s no different than a professional climber having an accident. I’m extremely grateful to the fantastic and professional mountain rescuers in Chamonix who got to me within 20 minutes and got me safely down the mountain.
that last one was amazing. are they purposefully showing only the successful rescues or is the success-failure ratio really this high?
i actually thought of this, i noticed that i have yet to see rescue with no success, then again it will be sad and depressive to watch if they show the bad ones, i dont see the point bec even showing only the positive ones its depressive to watch.
@@rogerivy2919 There's another series (a few years newer than this one) that's about the same team of rescuers at Mont Blanc. That one definitely shows death, both patients they couldn't save and people who were dead before the PGHM arrived. Can be grim, but exceptionally well made show!
@@mitchelljakubka yes people demanded to see death i guess! I would have thought it should be grim , like yes they should show both, susessful and real ones were death happen...yes life is weird...i wouldnt watch the ones with death....scary...
@@rogerivy2919 I'd say the new series is still worth a watch, even if you're a bit mortality-averse. The show handles the situations very well, it's nothing grotesque or exploitative of the situation. Very gracefully and respectfully presented, I think.
in my limited wfr experience, if they're not dead when you get there, aren't having extreme heat/cold issues, and aren't having a cardiac issue, they're probably going to live.
reality is that it takes a while to get there, and if they don't die in the 30 minutes to an hour it takes for you to get there, you're not dealing with anything that can't be treated.
that first hour is super critical, and while helicopter operations are fast, i would be shocked if from injury to starting treatment is in that 1 hour period.
bottom line is that they're taking what would be a 1-3 day rescue and making it 1 hour.
definitely saves lives, but the immediate response that you have there in that first hour is what almost always determines the outcome.
If you want a chance at full recovery from a coma, have the injury while you’re young! I watch coma videos and some of the teens and 20 year olds make fantastic recoveries. Bruno paraglider was fortunate .
Ah yes. Because we can decide exactly when and where we will have injuries and comas. 🙄
Plastic Asolo alpine boots ! Awesome !
And don't take lightly the mountains!
responding to a cardiac arrest and don't bring the defib!!!!!
Just so you know, most of the time, emergency calls tends to be vague. Add to that a shitty network connection in the mountains and stuff tends to be messy.
I thought the same thing! I’m sure it was just for some other reason or cuz it wasn’t protocol back then to bring it right away?
Responding to a hearth attack victim without a defibrillator is a huge mistake. That’s like a fireman going to put out a fire and realizing they don’t have a water supply.
THEY HAVE A DEFIBRILATOR. ITS JUST THAT THEIR STANDARDS IS LIKE 19 YEARS OLD COMPARED TO TODAY. THEIR INFO IS PRETTY VAGUE AND SHITTY. PLEASE UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU
@@nancyarat454 Even 19 years ago, this was common knowledge... It's not because it's old, stop spamming this everywhere in the comments.
@@persephone2706 man portable defib wasn't nearly as common 20 years ago and i'm pretty sure the actual events in the footage are even older.Movies have made defibrilators ubiquitous but the wide availability of ultra portable devices is a somewhat recent thing. Plus in this case there is litterally nothing to defibrillate since the heart is stopped, much better to continue cpr until the hospital.
ex-prez George Bush 1 does this sort of thing, perhaps just on his birthday. Amazing this guy survived the fall...:)
i like to work in this help people
Okay, let's be clear here, you don't defibrillate a stopped heart. If the heart is not pumping at all, shocking it only burns the heart muscle tissue. Chest compressions, which they are doing, are correct move. If the team used the defibrillator on the woman, it must be because she had an irregular rhythm, rather than no rhythm. They would better than to shock a flatline. Don't believe what you see in movies and TV shows.
The info and update stuff there is often vague and shitty. Pls understand, its the mountains there and they may not know right away if the patient may or may not need an AED.
ALSO CHECK THE DATE ITS FILMED PLEASE!!!
ITS LIKE 19 YEARS OLD
Karen Nagg thoo. Great name
Rule 1: Easy access does not make an easy mountain. And this why I won't be paragliding.
whats the musics name?
Uhh I think it’s John, but I call him Jeff.
It's why I won't paraglide.
You have two or three bones, I have more
Who pays for all of these rescues?
french peoples' taxes. it is part of the "Sécurité Sociale" system.
France!
What’s heart massage?
Keeping the blood flowing as best someone can by doing chest compressions.
@@persephone2706 Oh thank you for letting me know. My heart just felt like it needed one. So it’s like living? Or the opposite of being alone? They just mean the warmth from physical company, but worded it in a different way?
Great series. But get rid of the female narrator. Hurts my ears!!
yahoooooooooooooo
yes, euhmm, yes, we thought it would be a great idea to bring our elderly grandmother to come climb the mountain with us...
She was on a hiking trail, not climbing the mountain.
Terrence Vergauwen ; I'm older and I hike mountains regularly. I wonder if you'd keep up?
Trekking is what buys that helicopter and town.....not tech. mountain climbers - they wouldn't support tourism at all.
wait it said unfortually (dont know if i spelt that right lol) its only a short flight to the valley does she want THE PERSON TO DIE OR SOMETHING
why did he not wear the thick heavy double boots koflach etc
and with two pairs thick socks.
two pairs of trousers,,,etc
??????????
Dont know why didt they???
minute 3. This is not climber, this man looks like an smuggler.
guy at 5:00 totally tried to kill his dad. pity.
How?
@@persephone2706 I was being facetious for joke. The son’s reaction seemed overcompensating
really heart massage? Ever heard of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
+Aidan Deslippe It's just a synonym for CPR. Some people prefer to call it that way, but the actions are the same. I'm a Red Cross First Aid worker myself, some of my colleagues still prefer to call it "Heart Massage", although all throug out the courses we name it CPR or chest compressions. Heart massage is just an old term for the same thing.
+Aidan Deslippe when you don't know, don't say... :(
I'm First Responder certified with red cross, never heard it being called it heart massage.
+Aidan Deslippe It's a really old fashioned way, maybe your certification agency is too young to still handle such terms. I have my CPR+AED certificate from the European Resuscitation Council, but never heard them calling it the old fashioned way, only my instructor (he's in his fifties) did.
+Aidan Deslippe I'm almost 50, I'm a nurse and when I got trained 32 years ago we called a heard massage ... so dont be so snooty we saved lifes long before you could sit and eat on your own.
Everyone in the mountains loves and does paragliding?
What moronic commentary.
The lack of clothing and gear back then is so weird. It seems like nobody knew how to dress properly
