While I agree with almost every operation listed in this scenario, in regards to using the guy wire/ cable for vehicle stabilization, I have to strongly disagree
with this parctice.
I base my oppinion on the following;
1. What was the condition of the cable and
pole prior to the accident?
2. What is the condition of the cable and
pole after the accident?
3. Can you fully visualize the entire cable/
pole connection, especially the connection
at the top of the pole?
4. Is the vehicle actually stabilized by
the cable or it the vehicle just
resting firmly on the ground against
the cable?
5. Does the pt condition dictate a rapid
extrication or can we stay and play?
There are tooooo many conditions, in my opinion that eliminate the use of the guy wire/ cable as part of the vehicle stabilization.
Stay safe and have fun.
Hate it when I hit the enter key before I'm done with my post!!
