Getting in a tight spot

The team headed down to Durlston today to put into practise the training at the fire tower two weeks ago.

Under the Durlston flats are some large rocks known as rock armour which protect the stabilisation scheme.

There is a risk that people can fall in between the rocks and in this case the team would extract the casualty in a different way to going over the cliff.




The safety brief along with the objectives of the session.


Setting up using nature holdfasts ( the rocks) and locking down the equipment


The frame work is called a quadpod and needs to firmly positioned over the casualty.
