Stabilization and Rescue Struts

回答这一讨论

实际上由于struts是快速和容易set up placing them on both sides is a good way to go. Chassis side there usually isn't any problem but due to patient extrication the passenger side can pose challenges. Using a halligan or something similar you can usually get a purchase point between the trunk and quarter panel along with the hood and quarter panel. Even if you place one on the chassis side centered and two on the passenger side you have a very stable vehicle. Again the variable is type, size and condition of the vehicle.

另一个变量是地形。这是理想的，一个沥青停车场。很多时候，我们都在沟渠或不平坦的地形中工作。这就是为什么我建议将支撑杆放在两边，因为如果是柔软的或湿的土壤，一旦您开始使用它，则所有赌注都在该车辆的位置上关闭。两侧的支撑杆正确，车辆将保留在您想要的位置。我总是害怕入侵或滑落。人们忽略的支柱的一个方面是将它们放在适当的位置。

我喜欢将支撑杆放在乘客侧的另一个原因是因为当您开始拆卸挡风玻璃或切割柱子时，车辆正在失去其结构强度的很大一部分。在底部的支撑杆上，只有您可以将车辆滚动到其顶部以及救援人员和患者的风险。

只是我的想法

我认为沃尔特把它固定了。在我称其为稳定之前，我总是会尝试在两侧（闪亮的一侧和肮脏的一侧）撑起撑杆。只要您有良好的抓点，就可以将车身抬高到空中。如果支撑杆开始下沉或车辆开始沉降，这也将为您提供良好的视觉指示器。
I don’t know if I would stake the pads down. First, I don’t know what would be enough to hold the pads in place if the vehicle was on an incline and tried to move. Also, any pin that you are trying to drive is going to be dependent on the ground (the gravel road/asphalt parking lot). If I was looking at the set up and getting worried, I’d probably think in terms of tying off to a rig or other fixture on the up hill side of the scene.

Good scenario. I look forward to other thoughts.

Larry, when I mentioned staking the struts that was to keep them from slipping out from a 90 degree angle in relation to the vehicle. It was clear in my head but you understand how things are lost in translation. Our Rescue 42's came with some pretty hefty picket stakes that will serve many uses besides staking the strut in place.

Trey, I'm willing to bet that in your training agenda you were going to cover making sure that the struts remain at the 90 degree angle otherwise you lose the buttress type system and they are no longer effective. It seems simple and is one of the key components of using struts but sometimes the simple things are always hard.

祝你好运，

I didn't watch the video because I don't have a driver for Flash, but I had assumed that the struts are being secured by ratchet straps at the bottom of the triangle. I thought that when pins were mentioned, it was to keep the struts and vehicle from sliding if the angle is severe.
