Keith,
We used the rescue jacks for the first time today. It went like this: One vehicle rollover on a narrow county road. It was on a hill with steep banks on both sides. The truck came to rest on top of the victim. He was
partially ejected through the drivers window with the cab on his torso.
His legs were still inside the cab. The bed of the truck was hanging off the
side of the road. We place two jack stands on the chassis side using the
frame rail. On the body side we place two of our air bags and some wedges.We lifted the truck of of the victim with the bags. Everything went smoothly.
The jacks worked out great!!!!! The victim was very combative with a
possible head injury. He fought the medics all the way to the Arch helicopter until they administered drugs and tubed him. I personally thank
you for selling us these jacks they worked very well. I would and will
recommend you guys and the Rescue Jack products to anyone.
