If you have read the door removal thread, I mentioned, and Todd followed up on the statement about being inside a car during an extrication. Todd mentioned their department has the nugs (new guys/gals) sit insiden during a training exercise. Gives them a real appreciation of what happens to the patients during an extrication. That made me think of another question and thought I would throw it out for discussion.
What are the feelings of using live bodies during extrication training/practice? I cant seem to find it, but I think Ron did an article on this a while back talking about the liability thing and is it worth it? What is the general feeling of the rescue community? I think it provides an understanding to the nugs that nobody can describe. Of course, put them in full gear to include eye protection.
