Pelvic sling training?

[FiremanMike]

Does anyone have a decent/quick SAM pelvic sling training already created? I'm lacking creativity at the moment and want to put these on the trucks.

Thanks

Why reinvent the wheel?

I thought about that, I'm just not sure I'm that lazy... yet..

It's not the best video ever, but it's a fairly basic procedure. I'd be okay with it since it's fairly intuitive.

realistically, the vendor puts out "approved" training, and is the SME on all their products, so it makes a lot of sense to use their videos.

For new devices, tell everyone to watch the video. then put it on each other so you can get hands on experience. bonus points if you go to the bunk room, put a FF between the bed and the wall, and have the crews apply the sling while getting his or her our with as little movement as possible.

That's actually a great idea, thanks
