Making a Ladder Hinge to Lower Patients!

With the help of a local fire department we created a ladder hinge to demonstrate lowering a patient down from a second story. The ladder hinge would work well when you can not get a ladder truck to the location. You are able to rescue patients down with minimal effort and gets patients to safety.
Patient was secured to a backboard as well as being lashed into the basket. The basket was securely attached to the ladder beams on each side of the rung. Rope was secured to the top of the basket and taken back to the lowering system that was attached to an anchor on the roof.

Rad. Thanks! This is a drill we've been searching for an elegant solution to.

That is an excellent and safe method of extraction. I would play guinea pig for something like this. I am in a wheel chair so this kind of thing is important to me.

Very interesting technical procedure. You guys are awesome! :)

I looked this technique up because I wanted to work with my firefighters on this technique that I had learned at the department I had previously worked at... Best part of this video was seeing former co-workers perform the skill!!!! Was that Russell and Russ on the bottom?? Man I miss FIFD, great grouple of people, awesome group of firefighters!!!

This is tried and true in urban search and rescue. However, just to be safe and for stability, I would use two pieces of rope tied directly to the stretcher at the feet and use the carabiners to attach the rope to the ladder, just to be able to unclip quickly. Two ropes at the head end, spread apart, would also be better for stability. I learned this trick probably 35 years ago and that was from a manual published for fire rescue services in the UK in WWII. And this works! Ladders can be used in many ways to expedite the removal of victims, not just by climbing them.

@bradkuykendall9174 7 лет назад

Nice job guys. At 5:45 when the basket rotates some from the carabineer sliding I'm wondering if we capture the rail like you did but go back a little bit further to also catch the first vertical rail to keep it from sliding forward? It only did it once in the video so maybe not a big deal anyways. Definitely another tool for my tool box. Thanks again.

Hope you enjoyed your time working INN the 44!

@SkinnyMedic 5 лет назад

They are a great crew!

@bushwickbillOG 7 лет назад

u would think they would put the rope tie points on the basket at the ladder end a bit further apart

OKAY SKINNY MEDIC LET'S SEE HOW GOOD YOU ARE IN A PATCH FIGHT SO COME ON TO LANSING MICHIGAN I'M READY TO PATCH FIGHT YOU

cool

@theaddictedprepper902 7 лет назад

Here's an idea for a video. Show how to replace the ischial straps on a hare traction splint. Any brand will do Ferno, Dynamed, etc. I assure you there is not one instructional video on RU-vid.

@frazersinclair9658 Год назад

you could also anchor the lowering line up there and then to the basket then back to the blokes lowering the line. This would give them a 2-1 mechanical advantage. Making for half the weight of the casualty basically. You could still set prussiks up for safety id imagine it would work if someone just held it as the line passed through and let go as soon as control was lost on the line. Main thing to consider though is it uses at least double the line so would need to check that first

@gregorythomas333 7 лет назад

Have not seen this technique before...very neat way to transfer a patient! It looks like it could even be done with a single 1st responder if necessary...though quite difficult.

@zambranofernando6445 4 года назад

No lo veo tan seguro ya que se necesitaría dos cuerdas para la parte donde va apoyada la cabeza porque el paciente podría darse vuelta y girar la cama

@ballistolballs 7 лет назад

Have one of the "live" guys ride it down then come talk to me about how fun it was.

@HardcityRaindrops 7 лет назад

Cool video I'm going to be a police officer in Philadelphia soon, out here we are always getting shot at so your medic videos are great!!

@HardcityRaindrops 7 лет назад

I'm actually hoping to take one of you're classes on my vacation!

@thelogicalracer1036 7 лет назад

where is that at? it looks so slimier to where i live

@landlockedviking 7 лет назад

Well its the fountain inn fire dept. if that tells you anything..

@thelogicalracer1036 7 лет назад

it does, i have been right by it

@stardamage5510 5 лет назад

While it certainly seems pretty quick to rig and may save some effort, what exactly is the ladder accomplishing in this configuration? It isn't really helping you negotiate an edge with any more difficulty than sending the basket down by itself or with a tagline for the people below to keep away from the wall. The fact that it pivots from the base of the wall outwards means the wall needs to be clear of ledges and other obstructions in the first place, so what is the benefit over a simple tagline or even no tagline at all? Also why is there a firefighter rigged between the anchor and the basket? What is this accomplishing?

@FFEMTB08 7 лет назад

Nicely done. I don't see this being practical in a active shooter, after, yea, but def. not during. Nothing says, "hey shoot over here" quite like some banging and clanking on the roof.

@SkinnyMedic 7 лет назад

of course not, you stop the shooting FIRST

@B_radd 7 лет назад

SkinnyMedic then wouldn't you just use the stairs or elevator?

@MrGattor33 6 лет назад

The stairs and elevator may not be an ideal thing to use. Elevator may be out of service and he is also talking about locations that may not have these. Also this can be used in a Firefighter down situation in a 2-3 story building or house. I believe he did state that in the video!!
