### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Has some errors and may confuse some readers
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2014*

This book is definitely not a "how-to" for rope rescue but instead offers incomplete snapshots of various aspects of rope rescue, as though compiled from a series of course notes.  Some of what is depicted is unnecessarily complex and in some cases, could be unsafe (i.e. belaying the rescue subject off the chest harness of the rescuer, p.133).  Unfortunately, it also perpetuates much of the slang that continues to creep into the rope rescue discipline instead of plain English, which would better suit rescuers (I often wonder what the benefit is of the slang when the plain English interpretation has to follow it in parentheses).There are a number of typos, incomplete descriptions and contradictions that show it could have used another round of proof reading.  It also confuses mass, weight and force and confuses factors and margins.  Some important details are missing, such as the formula shown on p.101, where it fails to note that the formula is only valid when both anchor legs are equally loaded.  There are also a small number of factual errors, for example it states "One radian is equal to pi, or 180°", though I was wondering why the formula in question wasn't just adjusted to accommodate degrees.  Some empirical research is cited as proof in support of a number of assertions, though no details are offered about the research methodology.It does provide some interesting opinion on some of the new gear and techniques out there.  I would not recommend it for a rescuer still getting familiar with their craft but for an instructor it would be worth adding to their collection.

    Okay
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2014*

Nice cover, but content pretty much a word document depicting a mixture of thoughts and experiences. Not really a study, more a basic course reference which is inconsistent in its pitch - one minute very simplistic, then next using physics formula. Its purpose comes across confused - is it a case study, course manual, physics course, rigging guide or what? It is also contradictory, one minute pushing evidence based practices, then in other sections being opinion without any empircal basis. It does not come across as professionally published like the CMC Rope Rescue or High Angle Rescue Techniques manuals. The benefit though is seeing rope rescue through another instructor's perspective and there are a few gems to take away. Certainly okay to have on the bookshelf, but I would not use it as a prime reference for my courses. That said, well done to any rope rescue instructor who puts the time into such an effort and publishes their thoughts to improve safety practices and techniques in this field. Well done Pat.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not an essential book on rope rescue
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2020*

Another run of the mill book on rope rescue
