 THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME 2 GREATEST KIDS. YOU ARE THE BEST LOVE YOU FOREVER

MRS NASCAR

 

Last weekend, I went to a training school in Shelby, NC to take whats called RT VMR extrication. The purpose of this class is to learn how to disentangle a patient from a wrecked vehicle while keeping yourself safe. I did not get all of the photos that I wanted to get but I managed a few good ones.

 

The primary goal of any vehicle rescue is to protect yourself. The patient is secondary! The second goal is to safely remove the patient while avoiding further injuries. You don’t just snatch someone up from a wrecked car and run (unless its on fire!).  The mechanism of injury must be determine so we can treat accordingly.

Head on impact.

Not the worse of vehicle impacts, but very violent. .5 tenths of a second after the impact, the front of the car is at a complete stop while the rear of the vehicle is still traveling 55 MPH. Forces will throw the unrestrained driver into the steering wheel causing massive internal bleeding (Trauma). The lower extremities are forced into the lower dash or steering column and tightly laced shoes are forced off your feet. In this scenario, safety features of the vehicle such as the crumble zone (under the front fenders) are designed to disintegrate absorbing the impact energy. This is why the vehicle above literally has no front end left. The fact that the driver compartment did not hold its shape tells us that this was a very serious collision. We as EMS would have to cut off the doors, the roof, and roll the dash off of the patient. This picture here is a worse case scenario. Not many walk away from this kind.

This is a great photo because it shows the safety features of the vehicle at work. Note the disintegrating of the front fenders around the tires while the driver compartment holds it shape. In a perfect world, you should be able to open the door and get out but that is not always the case. Note the blur on the rear wheels. They are still moving even though the front of the car is stopped. Note the crash dummy in the seat. He is being forced into the steering column and the air bag has deployed to protect him from it.

The human eye blinks in .1 tenth of a second. The airbag deploys in have that time. 

Side Impacts (T-bone)

These are the most serious kinds of crashes that you can have. You are struck from the side with violent force and you are thrown to the other side of the vehicle. The fact that most of us tend to lean on the door when we drive makes it that much more violent. We always assume internal bleeding and Spinal injuries. Remember, when you experience a traumatic event like this, you can get up and walk around and not feel a thing while at the same time, be seriously injured.

New cars today are reinforcing the doors with boron steel to absorb the blow and side impact airbags for added absorption.

Example of side impact air bags.

When air bags deploy, the immediately begin to deflate so that you can get out or be rescued. The white powder residue left behind is a lubricant and causes skin irritation. New airbags have changed to a more simple lubricant that does’nt cause irritation. (Corn Starch)

These next photos are from my class. This truck is provided by Hurst which made the first hydraulic powered tools for vehicle rescue. (Jaws of life) These are the tools that we used for our training.

This photo below was taken after we had removed the roof of a junk car with these tools. The procedure took about 2 minutes to remove.

Here is a simulated wreck where we had to lift a cement truck off of a car to extract the victim. The procedure took us about 15 minutes.

Can you imagine what this would feel like if you were trapped inside? This particular accident happens quite often. Because I was operating tools, I was unable to photograph the actual extraction. The truck was lifted with airbags and cribbed with lumber until it was high enough to cut off the doors and remove the dummy from the back seat.

Here are some pictures of the Fire Department practicing with vehicle fires

The small hydraulic pistons that holds up the vans hatchback exploded and shot out the back and landed 40 yards away. Never ever approach a burning vehicle when FD isn’t on site.

 

These last two photos are showing how we roll the dash board off of the patient.

Note the wooden shim below the silver piston. This is a cut that must be made that weakens the frame to allow the dash to roll up. Note the cribbing under to car for stabilization

Here is a simulated roll-over with a van and we cut the roof open and then went through the floor board with simple air chisels.

Our safety is first. Note how we brace the vehicle and strap the base of the 4×4s to the van to prevent slipping. The other side has cribbing under the doors to prevent any movement.

This hole comes out under the passenger seat and the center console. The seat was cut loose by cutting around the bolts in the bottom of the van with the air chisel.

Here is the hole in the roof. We don’t remove the whole roof because it takes away the vehicles structure integrity and makes it very unstable.

I hope you have enjoyed this little presentation into the world of vehicle extrication. Everyone please take note, We have lots of equipment and techniques to remove you and vehicles are getting safer every year. However, that does not remove the dangers lurking around the corner. Please pay attention, Hang up the phone, keep your vehicle running like it should, and never ever ever trust a green light.
