Helicopter SKEDCO Rescue over Afghanistan

www.skedco.com Complete SKED Military Rescue System http High Performance Rescue Hoist Accessories www.skedco.com SKEDCO HELITAG HELICOPTER TAG LINE KIT NSN: 6545-01-381-0654 SK-1010 www.skedco.com The Helitag Kit is designed to prevent litter spin during hoist operations. A litter can spin up to 180 rpm's. That is enough to cause a patient to become a "human centrifuge". The body fluids are forced to the ends of the body. Litter spin can cause death if allowed to continue. The helitag kit when properly used will prevent litter spin completely. This kit contains 250 feet of high visibility 7mm water rescue rope. The break strength of the rope is 1900 pounds. Because the core is polypropylene and the sheath is nylon, the rope floats. It should not be used for rappelling. At the litter end of the rope, there is a "weak link" that breaks between 265 to 310 pounds. It is a safety "break away" that separates if the rope becomes entangled in trees or boat and ship masts. It is attached to the V strap with 2 stainless steel screw links. The V strap is attached to the litter with 2 Petzl key-lock carabiners (snap links). The kit is all contained in a 7 inch diameter x 23 inch camouflage bag. This is required onboard all Army MedEvac helicopters and in many infantry medical sets.

Lifesling Inflatable Overboard Rescue System

Get your crewmember back onboard safely and quickly! Outfit your boat for safety with the Lifesling Inflatable. It combines the functionality of the Lifesling and the throwability of a rescue throw rope to make an accurate toss to your fellow crewmate in the water much easier. Simply toss like a throw rope bag and upon hitting the water the Lifesling inflates almost instantly to provide a connection between your overboard crewmember and the vessel. It's great for use in conditions where your crewmember cannot be reached by vessel—in surf, shoals, rocks or rivers or where a more compact rescue device is desired. Heavy-duty nylon webbing provides enough strength to hoist a water-soaked crewmember with ease. The inflation mechanism is the industry-standard Halkey-Roberts Pro-6F inflator. The sling, valise and 125' of 8mm, multi-filament, yellow polypropylene line are stored in a white compact fiberglass case designed to be mounted on the stern or a pulpit. Includes three railmounts and fasteners for mounting.

Step 2: Approach the capsized boat with caution. Whatever overturned them could be a danger to you, too. Step 3: Position your boat so that the bow is pointing into the current and the wind when you idle it to help the victims. If the wind is blowing at your back, you'll have a difficult time keeping it still enough to help anyone out of the water. Step 4: When you are near them, put the engine in neutral so the propellers don't present a danger. Step 5: If the victims are conscious, tie a rope at the middle and stern of your boat, and throw it into the water so it forms a shallow U-shaped loop. The victims will be able to grab hold of it and use it as a step to hoist themselves into the boat. Tip: Resist the urge to get into the water yourself to help, or you may become another victim. Step 6: If the victims are unconscious, position your boat so they're at the ...

VEMA High Angle Rescue Unit "HAR"

VEMA High-angle rescue Unit (HAR) is a Non-profit / Public Benefit Organization that operates within the boundaries of Kwazulu Natal. VEMA HAR is made up of 10 highly motivated and dedicated members; including highly trained paramedics and experienced rock climbers. The unit is the only volunteer rescue unit of its kind in Kwazulu Natal that has its own high angle rescue trained paramedics. The unit is self funded by the members. The unit trains on a regular basis in different terrains and conditions so we can be prepared for any emergency. We currently train with the South African Air Force (15th Squadron) doing helicopter evacuations during both daytime and night time and at times with the South African Police Service (SAPS) Search and Rescue Unit. The unit also works with National Sea Rescue Institute for maritime rescues. The unit responds to any call to either carry out or assist in rescues, whether technical or not. This even includes assisting the SPCA with animal rescue, where one of the members has specialised dog rescue harnesses and equipment specific to animal rescues and recoveries. Because the unit is a support service, they therefore assist any emergency service that requires high angle rescue. As a rescue unit, all members are on 24hr standby. The unit have assisted the Fire Department and Durban Metro Police with rope access to vehicles that have gone down embankments, to retrieve bodies or injured occupants. They have assisted in the search and recovery ...
