Germany, 09/14/09, MVA with extrication

[Guest]

Guys, I want to share one of my latest runs. A guy 62yo fell asleep, touching a tree and struck a tree with about 80 km/h. He suffered a femoral fracture and broke some ribs. Best way to get him out was to remove the roof to rescue him with a spineboard. Any questions, feel free to ask. I try to post some of my latest runs here. Btw, I am the guy with the black bullard helmet

One question, dont you remove the roof of trapped? I havent seen many pics of cars with removed roofs

It all depends. If I gotta take a door to get to my pt, then I prefer to take the roof too. Its easier to get the pt out without spinal motion and doesn't take too much longer. Many just pop the door, wedge a spinal board under the pt and drag them onto it.

What chocks are you using, haven't seen those before ?

[Guest]

here is a pdf of the chocks we´re using

easy to carry and easy to handle. you place it beside the object and push it under it. simple and easy. after the air is out of the tyres the car rests safe on them. I hope my statement was understandable
