RETEX BARIATRIC
A 180 kg bariatric casualty, a suspected femur fracture, and no viable stair/elevator route: this real rope rescue RETEX details two façade evacuations of the same type of incident (2019 vs 2023).
It shows how the 2019 “high pulley” setup generated very high anchor forces with no redundancy—and how the 2023 approach dramatically improved safety with redundancy, a SYAM backup, and a hybrid skate block to reduce loads to ~250 kg.
Download it for practical, field-tested lessons on force management and building safer systems for heavy-load evacuations.
