The above photo is part of the Search and Rescue Training at the Freycinet which lasted for 5 days and was a very valuable course. Focusing on serious rescue on the sea cliffs in the area.
We had to go down and pick up a person who was unconscious and hanging on a rope and then haul him up to the top of the cliff. Really is good fun but there are a lot of consequences for stuffing it up. Rescue systems always have two-point failure built in so that if one fails under load the other should stop death or further injury.
