You may recall some posts on our social media last year (and again this year) about prussic bypasses and whether or not they are necessary on control lines. We had several surveys and a couple teaser images hinting at the testing and results.
This past week the International Technical Rescue Symposium (ITRS) was held in Golden, Colorado. Kevin had the opportunity to travel and finally present the work that we as a company have been sitting on for some time.
This project would not have been possible without the support of the following individuals and organizations. Their generous contributions of time and equipment as well as their passion for this discipline made this research a reality. From all of us at Vector Rescue, thank you!
