    Mistakes, Accidents and Near Misses.

    I carry sterile inflatable leg splints in my slightly supplemented forestry med kit, arm splints as well, in sealed packages. That poor bloke looked in need of one to hold that mess together and not bleeding profusely during the ride to the hospital. You're as prepared as you want to be. Jomo

    Mistakes, Accidents and Near Misses.

    My sincere apologies Bermy. I applaud you having walkin talkies when needed! Traffic control is one of the most technical aspects of our profession where good comm is a must. Talking to each crew member with today's comm sets is a huge leap forward in safer operations on a day to day basis...

    Speakin of accidents, just late yesterday another climber killed himself here in Rancho San Diego in a palm tree, apparently tryin to remove it. No details yet, but apparently he got squished somehow. Palms take out more climbers round these parts than any other tree. Wash Fans. Jomo
