Local firefighters show us what it takes to extract people from cars involved in a serious crash. Demo complete with "jaws of life" and medical helicopter extraction.
1. We set the overall scene:
Driver/passenger extraction
2. Breaking the glass
3.
4. Cutting the roof off
5.
6.
7. pulling the driver out on the board
8. Strapped in and ready for ambulance trip
9. LifeFlight lands
Lifeflight departs
It was very hot that day, mid 90F. I really felt for those fire fighters because they get overheated in those protective suits. They did a great job of showing what all goes into extracting people from a vehicle in a severe crash. They made a very complex procedure seem routine.
