Iceman 117 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Maybe its just me but I don't see anything the RCMP helicopter did that was heroic or death defying, he landed on a gravel bar yippee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freefall 61 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 At no point in that video was he landed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MMike 8 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have no idea what the inside of an EC120 looks like, but the question on my mind was "why didn't they leave her feet hanging out and put her head inside? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vortex 55 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 In a life and death situation, TC might turn and look the other way if nothing went wrong. In this case the girl was apparently home and walking around the next day. Minor injuries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In this case the girl was apparently home and walking around the next day. Minor injuries. That used to be the case. Up until this accident happened and TC decided to get strict, even for medivac fligths. http://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/...82/a94q0182.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WTF_was_that 29 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Being an arm chair quarterback, maybe the info passed onto the pilot was not correct. Maybe the PIC was told the girl would die with out an immediate evacuation. The Ground personel may have overreacted to the situation. Just call a heli syndrome. They RCMP on the ground and the SAR personal, probably had no idea the capabilities of that aircraft or its configuration. Not sure why they would load her like that.... What i was reminded of from this video 1. take a step back, slow down. a. it's not your emergency 2. Have a plan. 3. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should....

3BX2 17 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm with AR on this one, What I saw was completely ILLEGAL. Improper and uncertified stretcher installation, not securley fastened as per the TC regs. The Pilot should be charged. There's no need for cowboy antics in this day and age, especially from the Federal Police. On a positive note, they never Tazered anyone.... (yet?) :down: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
