Plain and simply, you've got all these wonderful visions of what could be done and are missing what actually should be done. That comes from your lack of experience, which is coming through here very loud and clear. People are calling you wrong all the time because you are; you're taking a very simple deal, proposing something that is not simple, not safe, and not neccasary, and then getting bent out of shape when someone tells you that you're wrong. If you want to go on believing that you are <moderator's snip> and full of wonderful high-speed knowledge and everyone else is just wrong and scared to try something new...ok. But I do pity anyone that you ever care for, and whatever neighborhood responce team you are part of. Just remember that the theory behind something and the reality of it are two entirely different things. You (and this is proved several times in various threads) don't seem to understand this. I hope that if you ever get to put your training to work in real time that you learn this lesson. But my guess is you won't.
You seem to be forgetting that the people that you deride for being old have been doing this for a long time, and have the experience that you lack. People are telling you not to do something because it has been done before with poor results; how do you think training evolves? Take their advice. Doesn't mean that you have to follow it, but listen, and keep it in the back of your head. It may save your *** someday. Don't go around thinking that you are more than what you really are, that will cause you severe problems if it hasn't allready.
Now, if you can't see the difference between dragging someone on the ground and lowering them down a potentially steep incline, you need to pack it in right now because you are a huge liability. You don't seem to realize that if you have no way to conrol the descent and your hold on the rope slips the pt will go into an uncontrolled slide to the bottom. You don't seem to realize that you will need people guiding the litter down. You don't seem to realize that if done appropriately the attendants will be attached to the litter so it won't be resting on the stairs.
It's nice that you want to help out and are taking all those wonderful classes, but there is a huge difference between what you do in class and who you will do in the field. Some things you learn will not always be neccasary, some will, and some will need improvements due to the situation and environment. Until you actually get to experience it, stop getting so upset when someone says that you are wrong.
