Hands-free Active Rescue: SRK-15®, Micro Rescue Kit in Action
The SRK-15® provides rescuers with versatile options during a ladder rescue. One effective method is to capture the descent line with a carabiner and connect it to the rescuer’s harness. This setup allows the rescuer to use their own body weight to activate the device, making the process safer and more efficient.
With this approach, the rescuer can:
- Maintain three points of contact on the ladder while descending with the casualty
- Lower the casualty in a more ergonomic position
- Minimize frequent stops to activate the device
