I don't think I could bring myself to suck vomit out of someone's nose with my mouth. Good on this guy though! Also, am I the only one that wondered about the "take off the shoes and stimulate the feet" portion in the article? That must have been taught in class on a day I missed...

You should definitely look into some of the ski patrol forums. They do some cool stuff especially with splinting. Try looking up a spider/octopus cravat splint.
