On the weekend of Feb. 20 through 22nd, 2009, instructors from Res-Q-Jack, Inc. attended an extrication program in Darlington, SC where they presented the “Stabilization University – Roll-EX” program to teach advanced vehicle stabilization and lifting techniques. The program was attended by approximately 175 students.
At about 6p.m. following the final day of the program a couple of the program’s attendees responded from the program to a fatal vehicle rollover with multiple entrapment. The responders applied techniques reviewed at the program they had just completed to aid in extrication of the injured. Below is an email from one of the responder’s:
Mr. Dominick,
Here are the pictures from the wreck last night. A twelve year old was extricated along with his guardian who was a DOA. Had Bell not showed up with our tool trailer hauling equipment from the class we would have been without struts. We didnt hesitate using a J-Hook and chain from the class equipment for the connecti on point on the alpha post. The vehicle was rock solid while we completed a partial roof flap. It certainly drives home the purpose of training and what this weekend was all about. Thanks again for your help this weekend and in general. Rescue Jacks has turned out to be a wonderful company to work with professionally and personally. The agencies involved included Darlington County EMS, Darlington County Fire District, and Darlington Rescue Squad.
