How Whitewater Rescue Teams Are Trained | What It Takes

- Swiftwater rescuers must complete a rigorous training course in order to be fully prepared to rescue individuals who have fallen victim to fast-moving water. The Swiftwater Safety Institute teaches rescue agencies and river guides the skills they need to save the lives of people caught in deadly currents. We traveled to Moab, Utah where the Swiftwater Safety Institute conducted a 3-day training course on the Colorado River. The course teaches the proper way to react to dangerous situations including foot entrapments and raft flips, training students on handling tools like a throw bag to help bring a casualty to shore.

How Whitewater Rescue Teams Are Trained | What It Takes
I LOVED the clear way the instructors spoke not only to the students, but also to the camera. Very direct and action-oriented. You can really tell they know what they're doing!
What in the advertising heck is this? The video isn't even from a movie lmao
As a SRT/Rafter, its really cool to see this video be the exact same as the training I had in canada.
I used to be really big into the whole whitewater scene but then because I ended up caught in one of these situations,
I haven't stepped foot in white water since
Same I actually feel in the water in the same place they are training

Being a white water rescuer has got to be an extremely dangerous job. Hopefully they are paid decently because any life risking job should be rewarded well. Definitely a job with lots of respect as well!
Am a guide and swift water rescuer. Pays terribly. "what's the difference between a pizza and a river guide. A pizza can feed a family"
@@jonathanlopez5569 Jeez that's a shame. I guess both teachers and rescuers are both underpaid unfairly. I teach investing on my channel if you want to perhaps build a larger yearly income. :)
@@jonathanlopez5569 or just being a peace officer.
Im Part of the NCSP it’s all volunteer work but it’s fun and keeps me entertained
Former white water canoeing instructor here, worked at a summer camp and was paid very little (room and meals were included with my contract though which was good).
I miss doing swift water rescue... Enjoy and be safe.
1:17 when he says "im at a point in my life" while tying the rope gave real dark vibes
Interesting before covid l used to go whitewater rafting every year. One year we hit a wave that had our raft captsize. I was amazed how Jason our guide made it look so easy to get us all back in. Good old days 😁
@@businessinsider7657 bio who. ?? I have almost a million $$ in cash in my pillow. Why should uncle Sam take my money.
@@businessinsider7657 goofball l have my own financial advisor. Keep your Mrs Diana.
I never stopped rafting. F Covid.
Trapped in river stream gets almost fatal, great job by river rescuers.
It's definitely fatal. A friend of my sister when we were teens drowned by getting trapped in a flipped kayak in flood conditions. He knew the river very well, but it didn't save him. I feel so bad for those who were working so hard to save him and they basically had to watch him drown as they just couldn't get him out in time
I kept landing on some channels that i am not even subscribed into. RUclips sure does amazing wonders .. Great Video 👍👍
Thanks business insiders
Swift Water Rescue is one of the hardest but most rewarding and fun certifications to obtain. Granted half the time we get called the situation is rapidly evolving and/or is a flood. Flood water is no fun to swim in.
Now!!This is,,what called a hard work..
Woah this is pretty cool
Incredible 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow I didn’t know this was a thing this is so cool
You havent watched the video yet
@@6.............. I did
@@apollo2789 You cant watch the video in 2 minutes
@@6.............. this is a dumb argument and I don’t have to watch the entire video to get the point or to think it’s cool
@@apollo2789 Youre right.
Wow! This looks incredibly challenging. I’m so glad they have this training. Thank you for sharing the video!
Looks fun, just finished Surface Water Rescue a week ago, just scratching the surface
Love SRT training lots of good memories
I respect all the rescue services, Fire Marshals, Ambulance drivers and paramedics etc. But this look so much fun! I wish i was in this good of a shape!
@@businessinsider7657 what an odd thing to say.
@@businessinsider7657 Yo that's awesome. I got laid off at the start of lockdown last year. I have no money and I'm just trying to watch interesting RUclips videos. So unless you're going to invest in my future trading I don't really want to know. X
yes
Nice video.
I watch this some RUclipsrs who do clean rivers, magnet fishing and recreational sports. I always wanted to learn how to be a responder and learn though, there's not that many location that I know that teaches in Nebraska. Even then I have to (re)-learn how to swim. If anyone know some good links and locations please feel free to send some to me. I also did White water rafting and I loved it.
Much respect and love for those out there doing now!
Old response I know, but in the US contact FEMA and ask about volunteer SAR - they should be able to point you in the right direction as they'll know affiliated SAR/USAR etc orgs. If they're not known to FEMA, then don't use them.
@@jonbowen17 Amazing, thank you!
@@MegaEricPham I do this stuff in the UK, and it really is good fun and exciting, but it's hard work and you will be cold wet and tired, but you'll meet great people and learn so much good stuff.
@@jonbowen17 I expect that it'd be hard work, wet and tiring, cause you know being dry is kind hard to be when surrounded by water. Haha 😆 also it may be hard work but it's honest work.
Cool.
good.
Please search Gwadar Pakistan and make a report on it. Hopefully Inshallah after it's developed you guys will have the honour of being the first big channel to cover it
If you like this. Try river boarding. You can't fall out. You start in.
That looks like fun but dangerous i would like to take the class.
I would drown in like 30 seconds cause I can't even swim
@@ColdSalt99
learn it.😄
Cool 😎
Cool
cool
damn uh im here a bit early
Impressive video.
If you have interest in an unmanned water surface vehicle that can assist you on the mission ? It can make a difference.
I tried, I really did. But at the end of the day, if you’re in danger bc you absolutely had to partake in a potentially-deadly recreational activity..good luck to yoi
I request you to cover Gwadar, and it's location + importance
The old throw bag… highest high or lowest low

The scariest thing is the drowning person's will to survive which can result in them drowning their rescuers. That's why rescuers will sometimes knock the person out to make it more manageable.
How do you knock somebody out in the water? Somebody that is pumped full of adrenaline?
@@fv0 pressure points.
No, they don't.
In my days on the water, we were taught to bop a floater on head with the paddle to stun them. *This was before helmets were standard.
Then you haul them to shore like you would normally do with a miscarried whale calf. Then start CPR.
Probably wear shoes that slip off easily. Not like the shoes that guy was wearing. It would seem like big old hiking boots or high top shoes would get caught between River Rocks a lot easier then say regular tennis shoes or Crocs.

I don’t know why I wanted to watch this

This whole video shows how you should know how to swim
So water = bad
Nope....Fast water = bad
Too much ads
Kind of disjointed storytelling. What happened to the guy in the poncho after he was introduced as a character? Really, not a report I could make my way through due to lackluster storytelling, seeming lack of focus, etc.
1 Downvote.
From the swift water itself.
This feels like a cheap reality tv show.

So intense, a teenager could do it.
Lol what a joke. Go swim in some rough sea and then you will learn. Any surfer etc would cream these guys
Both demand respect but they are Completely different environment. Both have powerful moving water but there are many hazards in a river besides the water. Ie Rocks, trees, strainers, sieves, holes, undercuts etc.
