Great job explaining the why of not cutting the upper b-pillar before the lower rip, and to push against the door/hinge rather than just the relief cut to start the tear outwards.
Great example of this technique with very detailed info on how to do it. Excellent tool control and placement. This should be the video departments use for this for this kind of evaluation. Great Job Dalan!
Wow! This was very interesting and informative to watch. I loved it and learned a thing or two. I'd like to see more of these on You Tube. I'm not a firefighter but when I watch videos now of closeups and what is being used I'll have a better understanding of what they are doing and why. Thank you so much for this! :-)
The way he stared at the opened side at the end made me feel like he was remembering previous accidents he'd been to. Pretty chilling to see that thousand-yard-stare.
On situation where the car surrounded by spilled-gasoline, gas and similar, cutting metal with metal may set fire that will burn everything and the accident may worsen. cmiiw
This technique was born from rescue competitions. In older cars with less crash engineering it was much faster than cutting because you’re not slowed down by forcing the front door separately. A couple factors make it more difficult now: the increased strength of the metals found in ‘b’ posts, the increased width of the ‘b’ post & the strength of the connection of the base of the ‘b’ to the floor sill/rocker. That said it is still a valid technique being shown to newbies. I’ll be impressed by anyone who makes the effort to read this. Have fun looking for answers ✌️🇦🇺.
Hurst the MFG of the rescue tool used in this video made a video I just watched where IMHO wasted precious time cutting through the A pillar door hinges 1st instead of what this video demonstrates in order to open up the whole R/H side of the vehicle. When someone's life is on the line every second counts. Hopefully they'll watch this video & use this faster method instead. I'm going to post this link in their video comments, here's a link to the Hurst video ruclips.net/video/CwBOG4V2aBs/видео.html
TRUE! when i was doing vehicle rescue training the other day i had myself in between the cutter and the car and my Lieutenant Yelled at me haha. now I Know though

Thank you for taking the time to make this video Mr. Zartman
Lesson learned and I appreciate guys keep on keeping on

Very nice demonstration.

That was pretty chilling... I can only imagine the carnage he witnessed being a competent operator of this life saving tool.
Cool fire Suit! Looks like the ones from Europe
thank you
Thank you for great video. everything else made sense but why is it nessesary to shred b posts lower end? why not just cut?

@@garthf7119 👏
I think that for that kind of task, the fire helmet is better, because it cover all the face
Thank you sir ..
What gear is he wearing? I’m looking into extrication suits for our rescue companies.
Turn out gear
@@spannaspinna not turnout gear.
doing gud there...!!!
I've had harder times opening tuna cans
Hope patient isn't using that front seat belt. It would should have been cut prior.
