Read this Carefully:
The skills and techniques shown in this guide are for
expert use only! Even when properly performed, loss
or injuries may result, you could die, or you could kill
someone else. It is your responsibility to seek competent
hands on instruction in rope rescue, and the specific
techniques shown in this book before ever trying them
in the field. Conterra Inc. and/or the author accept no
responsibility for loss, damage, injury, or death, result
ing from information contained in, or omitted from, this
guide.
What this guide is-
The techniques shown within this guide represent a "paradigm shift" in mod
ern rope rescue. Since the mid 1980's, a new generation of rescue techniques
have evolved, borrowing heavily from work done by Rigging for Rescue in
Canada- focussing on light equipment, quick response, and a high degree
of safety and flexibility. These techniques have been found to work equally
well in the back country as well as the industrial setting. If your rescue team
is not currently using some or all of the techniques shown in this guide, we.
hiphlv recommend that vou update vour training. There are several excellent
rescue schools located around N. America that are skilled in these techniques.
If you have questions or need updated training, please feel free to contact
Conterra Inc. for recommendations on a school near you.
How to use this Guide-
This guide is intended as a field reference for rescuers already trained in,
and familiar with, these techniques. The technical illustrations are cross ref
erenced by page number, so that you can quickly zero in on the exact rigging
technique in question. Starting at an overview page ( High Angle Raise, for
example), follow the page references to the subject you wish to view.
