"Rescue" rigging of a SKYLOTEC DEUS 3000
Series controlled descent device
"Rescue" rigging means that the SKYLOTEC
DEUS 3000 Series controlled descent device is
set up for the rescuer to perform one or more
assisted-rescues. This means the descent device
is not attached directly to the harness of the
person descending. Instead, the descent device
is attached to the anchorage with a connector so
that the rescuer is in control of the descent device
while the person being rescued is descending.
The person being rescued is then attached to one
end of the rope.
When using "rescue" rigging, a high anchor point
is preferred over a low anchor point because it is
"Rescue" rigging
safer and more convenient. A high anchor point
limits the chance of shock load when the system
is loaded with the person being rescued. When
forced by circumstance to use a low anchor point,
the rescuer must take special care to avoid impact
loading the system as the person being rescued is
loaded onto the system.
