What is Search and Rescue - I Got Rescued

Type: Interesting

Description:
King County Explorer Search and Rescue was kind enough to let me film one of their trainings and demoed a lower and raise with me in the litter. SAR systems are fully redundant and have a large safety ratio they stay within. It's interesting to observe how they maintain that the entire time because as a slackline highliner, I'm redundantly safe with a 3:1 safety ratio...most of the time; but occasionally I'm standing near a cliff edge not tied in. SAR doesn't want more people injured when they help someone injured. I also learned how much people give of themselves as it is all volunteer based and you can find out how you can volunteer or donate to KCESAR http://kcesar.org/ and https://www.facebook.com/kingcountyesar. Also check out your local unit and get involved.
