Vertical Rescue Techniques
Vertical rescue techniques involve safely reaching, stabilizing, and retrieving individuals from elevated or hard-to-access locations such as cliffs, buildings, or rescue towers. These methods utilize ropes, harnesses, pulleys, and specialized equipment to descend or ascend efficiently while maintaining safety. Trained rescuers establish secure anchor points, perform controlled rope systems, and carefully manage any hazards like falling debris or unstable surfaces. The goal is to minimize risk to both rescuers and victims, ensuring a swift and safe extraction in outdoor or urban rescue scenarios.
