      Yeah but is was unfair for those fools to even set foot on that mountain, to make the rescuers have to risk their lives in the first place to save them. At least Everest rules are clear past 8k meters. Otherwise fools like these risk their own lives as well as the rescuers' lives. A somewhat selfish act for the mountaineers, and far less selfish act for the rescuers.

      @@DizzyDad Absolutely. to expect others to risk their lives, risk millions in equipment just to rescue some adrenalin addict getting their jollies. should require a million dollar bond before doing things like that or you're on your own. and each of the rescuers and pilots should get 50,000 dollars each upon completion of rescue. You want to risk your own life? fine. you have that right. you do not have the right to put others in danger for your recreational pleasure. take up skydiving. much more cut and dry .

    I totally agree with carrying the knife in all risky situations; diving, on the water, and on land. Four-inch blade. Standard gear for many government extreme-situation employees in many countries. A good knife is indeed the ultimate general tool and survival tool. As a New Zealand government employee in two different departments in the 70s and 80s, I had to carry a survival knife on my belt when in the field, or risk being fired for not following required procedure. Back in the 1970s in New Zealand we used Air Force Hueys for alpine rescues and I was in SAR for a few years then, long before GPS, PLBs, and cell phones existed. Rescues took days then, and now take just hours. I have lived on a forested island on Canada's west coast, since 1998, and NEVER go out my door without my Swiss Army knife on its lanyard attached to my belt. It has got me out of some dicey situations over the years.
    Great rescue, guys, and great video of it. Very well done. Great to watch you all in action.

    • @Hermytwin027
      @Hermytwin027 Před rokem +4

      It makes so much sense to carry a swiss army knife in most situations. Unfortunately, because knife crime has become increasingly prevalent here in the UK, it's actually against the law to carry any fixed blade, or folding blade that can be clipped fixed unless you can prove that you're on the way to/from remote hiking, or if it's deemed necessary for your job. I understand why these laws have been required, but at the same time think it's dangerous in other ways, as you never know when an emergency situation might happen.

    That first Helo crew are so brave. Helicopters rely on air and at that height those blades are not "grabbing" much so they blades have to have the perfect tilt and RPM to be able to continue to grab air. One large updraft could have brought the helo into a uncontrollable spin and then crash. Big Balls on that crew. Big. Balls

      Get yourself a Fox 40 Classic. It's a lifeguard whistle that works at any altitude, under any type of humidity or lack thereof, and is so piercing that it can be heard by someone who is underwater by several meters, when it is sounded near the surface of the water. It's a "thin" sound, that doesn't get swallowed by reverberations as easily as yelling does...and you won't damage your vocal cords using it, like you might if you kept screaming. Just make sure you cover your ears when you use it, if you can. It is VERY loud.

    Having been attached to those ropes on the ground while being lifted by helicopter ..which can pull whole helicopter down.. talk about stressful moments! However, the ropes while being cut, seemed to hold long enough to prevent an upward spin like the first guy who went up.. lucky for second guy w/ broken leg he didn't have to through a spin on top of his excruciating pain..

    Am I wrong or the first US squad seems less "prepared" then the other rescue teams filmed here in Europe ? they winched the guy with that twisted leg and broke femur without even some painkillers...and they didn't seem to have a doctor onboard too. Someone with experience in this field may comment here?

    The initial rescue is awesome but why make dramatic/fake saying that the helicopter would have been caught in the ropes. He’s trying to cut the ropes with the wrong side of the blade and the pull is basically what is saving everybody. I’m disappointed as you should be factual.

  • @Smallfrye
    @Smallfrye Před 4 měsíci

    Honestly it's a little jarring to see American mountain rescue teams vs teams like the Mont Blanc Gendarmerie. Maybe it's because in the US most mountain rescue groups are volunteers rather than paid workers, but the level of technical skill and professionalism is stark. No disrespect to the American teams at all, they're obviously risking their lives for zero money to do this, and that is very brave and selfless. But I think the US should introduce a paid professional system where the rescuers are constantly training rather than doing this in their off-time. For reference, check out the TV show Mountain Rescue about the Gendarmerie here on CZcams, and contrast their rescues with the first rescue in this video.
