HowNOTtoHIGHLINE it might be worth mentioning the potential risk of suspension trauma especially if you are dealing with an unconscious victim. Hanging in a harness for more than a few minutes can be fatal. The harness acts like a tourniquet cutting off blood flow. This blood then becomes deoxygenated and toxic and when the victim is finally lowered to the ground the blood floods the heart causing cardiac arrhythmia's or cardiac arrest. Suspension trauma has even killed construction workers in full body harnesses with no injuries who were conscious while hanging... in under 15 minutes. The point of this message: if you have an unconscious or injured friend hanging in a harness ACT FAST. You should be prepared to have them on the ground in under 5 minutes.
Another note: if a person has been hanging unconscious in a harness for more than a few minutes, and you are able to free them, the last bit of lowering should be done slowly over a period of 30-60 seconds to give the blood a chance to slowly reenter circulation rather than flooding the heart.
@@laneeardink9849 The bit about the last bit of lowering makes no sense or is worded wrong. You should get them to the ground as fast as possible, once on the ground they should be sat up with their legs bent in a triangle in front of them (raised knees). If you can't keep them upright, you can also leave a little bit of tension on the lowering line. This is probably what you meant, but it sounded like you were advocating worsening the condition by purposefully leaving them fully suspended for an additional minute.
@@raphaelbeinhauer9242 U got it. I worded it poorly. What is important is that you don't suddenly release all the tension from the harness because it can flood the heart with deoxygenated blood and metabolic byproducts which can induce cardiac arrhythmias or cardiac arrest. When the patient is on the ground they should be sat, as you said, upright and over 30-60 seconds the remaining pressure from the rope/harness can slowly be reduced until no pressure remains. Hopefully this was more clear. Sometimes I lack thoughtfulness with my TH-cam comments. (This is unlikely to be a concern unless the victim is unconscious and fully suspended from a harness for more than a couple minutes.)
Actually, I would like to note that the re-circulation of blood back into the blood stream "Reflow Syndrome" has been shown to not be a factor in suspension trauma. Thomassen et al. 896-8) (Adisesh, Lee, and Porter 265-8). The only concern one should have when dealing with suspension trauma is getting the blood out of the legs and back into circulation.
I've used a sling crossed over to create a full body. And I've been belaying from the top to another climber below with the use of a grigri. They couldn't do the climb so lowered one end to them. Asked them to clip in with another carabiner and tug on the rope coming towards them. I tug o the other end and that is a small pulley system to get them past a difficult point to climb. Providing you have enough rope it works a treat.
If there were a main line failure (or if you just had a very loose line) how would you address the steepness of the line? Is there a mechanical way to control your decent out to them, or would you have to lower out on a tag line? If you had to drag them back yourself, is there a way to build a ratchet on the line to capture your progress as you pull yourself uphill?
You guys should check out the IMAS on North American Rescues website under Operational Rescue. We use this micro Set of Fours for everything and is known as your "get out of jail free" card. If you partner this with your Kootanay carriage, I think you'd have a very light, lighting fast rescue kit. If you didn't use a large mouth pulley, another great option is to use the VT prussik and attach to your tag line that you are bringing out (hopefully with a nice efficient pulley). You can then attach the SOFs and lift them up and off their leash, and on to you. Completely disengaging their system (if its compromised)
Cool ! The thing I still don't understand ( maybe I missed something ) is why couldn't ya just reach down and clip the end of the lift right to their harness ?
Nice I think we all wanna see what the poll is for in the background 😉 lmao....would you guys run another rope across first if the main line snapped before rescuing? I guess it all depends on the situation but I’m just giving you comment cause this video deserves one lol!
You want to see how NOT to pole? Its not a stripper pole unless you take your clothes off, but i tell everyone it is easier without pants! Haha I would be tempted to add some redundancy before going on a single line but it depends if i understood why the first broke and if they were hanging upside down in harness. With inov split 50 meter segmented highlines. Adding an extra backup on the spot isnt too hard compared to a giant line that was 1 continuous pc.
Velcro! Just kidding. PM on facebook and ill send you pics of what i did. Basically lag bolts in climbing hangers... but i made it redundant cus that is what i do haha
Hey Ryan, I'm interested in how you attached the slackline to the living room wall. I would also like to put a slackline in my apartment. Did you use an eye plate? How thick and how long should the screws be? Is this eye plate sufficient? www.karabiner-und-mehr.de/edelstahl-augplatte-deckauge-d8-50-x-40mm-v4a.html many thanks and slack greetings
i sure hope you have a woman who lives there that uses that pole oh wait your buddy looks like a girl is that his pole LOL love all your vids man you do a great job explaining everything keep it up
Check out our new store! hownot2.store/
Do you have a video about How Not to use that pole in your living room? 😁

Lmao 😂 👍🏻🤙🏻
Hey, how did you attach the line to your wall?

I'm not on facebook. Do you have a different contact?
@@moses__hart skylining@live.com
Look at his other videos :) The walls got wrecked a bit and started bending a little so needed some reinforcing.
How did you connect that line in your living room

also your setup could pull the 2 by 4s right through the sheetrock for real looks like a real nice place thou
My anchors are redundant behind the sheetrock :)
What's the pink stick ?
Balance beam
i sure hope you have a woman who lives there that uses that pole oh wait your buddy looks like a girl is that his pole LOL love all your vids man you do a great job explaining everything keep it up
