Thanks for video. The leg hook allows firefighter to visualize exterior conditions and change tactic including return to room. It should always be used & is not related to speed or proficiency.
Noticed a knee brace against wall which is a likely consequence of a low elevation practice structure. Knee/feet against wall is a terrible practice & should be mentioned because hook security enhanced by pure vertical load.
Could you help me understand why a vertical load is better? It seems like a horizontal component would help the hook bite deeper into the wall, and a vertical load would try to torque/lever the hook up, riling the tooth out of the wall. Any resources on this you can recommend that go into detail about the ‘why’ of theses techniques?

Отлично показан способ. Попробую на занятиях сделать.
We are using a lighting GT hook with a bailout belt that is worn on your bunker pants. The system is attached and ready at all times.
this is very interesting and helpful. i was told putting my thumb in the trigger part would help control the speed of descending, is this true?
Do you guys have a schmetic diagram for building an exterior wall/window platform for practicing bailouts?
What is the rope attached to? Is he wearing a harness?
Jim K it's just inside the pocket of his jacket. That's why it's crucial to hold onto the rope.
@@MikeW1385 it’s tethered to a belt on his bunker pants
Is this taught in firefighter 1?

How often do you have to do practices after a real situation? :-)
awesome
