Punished Ape posted:So was that pilot error or wind or what? Both. When landing in a crosswind, you're supposed to apply aileron into the wind on the rollout to keep the upwind wing from lifting, and the windsock seems to show a pretty good crosswind from the left. The pilot seemingly didn't do that (or didn't do enough), and the situation was exacerbated by the fact that the airplane has a relatively narrow main gear span and a high wing, which makes it more susceptible to trying to roll in that situation.

I was still stationed at Bragg when this happened. A friend of mine was a medic with the 429th Med Company (Ambulance) and he and his partner were first responders. It was completely hosed up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4L50eMI8gY

Reno Air races a few years ago. Plane crashed into the crowd and killed/mangled a bunch of people. I had friends there who were struggling with the experience and what they witnessed. I am off due to deployments, gunfights and poo poo and I tried to support them the best I could.

To expand a bit, in 2011, a heavily modified P-51 Mustang went into the crowd at the Reno Air Races, killing 10 spectators and injuring 69. The crash happened because of a set of circumstances lining up exactly wrong, since the accident airplane had skipped a required inspection (the pilot thought it wasn't required, and the organizers didn't realize it hadn't happened), which meant no one caught the fact that a nut on the elevator trim tab that was supposed to be replaced every time it was removed had been reused for decades, and was loose. That nut let go during the race, and the failure (combined with how the airplane was modified) caused an immediate 17G pull-up, which blacked out the pilot and resulted in the airplane crashing into box seats on the ramp. The crash was made worse by the fact that the FAA didn't realize they had two conflicting sets of rules for how far back the crowd line needed to be, with the organizers following one set, and the FAA failing to realize the event didn't comply with the updated rules.

My buddy had worked a ton of LAPES tests as a DZ Medic for the Airborne Test Board and said that the 130 was moving in a lot faster than he had seen before and tapped the ground, bounced up and and the pilot lost control and that was that.

I believe that accident was a big part of why they decided LAPES was too dangerous and not worth the risk anymore. I remember seeing it in a recruiting commercial in the early 00s but I think the practice had been completely abandoned by that point.

Dillbag posted:A number of years ago on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, a dude in his 50s or 60s was hiking up an old logging road when he was pounced on from behind by a sick or otherwise hungry cougar. Long story short, he managed to stab it to death with his pocket knife, grabbed what was remaining of his scalp and held it on the top of his head, and walked several kilometers back towards town until a passing logging truck picked him up and took him to the hospital. I watched a documentary ages ago about a guy who literally got his face torn off by a kodiak. Dude took a swipe to the head, went down, and it nommed his head a bit before wandering off. He tied his face in position with a bandana and hiked his rear end to a ranger station.

Seems logical to me. 'gently caress this hurts, not going to stop hurting any less sitting here, might as well walk in the direction of painkillers.'

I had to hike out on an injured knee once. It wasn’t that bad, but I will never again not carry enough painkillers to cover limping out while taking the max dose. My buddies were impressed with my pace in breaking camp and getting a head start on the trail; I just wanted to make progress before the last of the pills wore off. They’d also graciously volunteered to lighten my pack, so I had that going for me.

I'm pretty cautious about not hiking deep if it looks even remotely like the weather will be the main danger (this is annoyingly often), but hey, sometimes you just gotta solo hike for 14-20 miles in the mountains. If you get hosed up, you get hosed up I guess!

The way I've always looked at these kinds of things boils down to, gently caress else are you gonna do? Especially if you're way the gently caress out, even if you've got signal or an EPIRB, your rear end is waiting anyway. People whose first instinct is to sit down and wait to be rescued or just die loving baffle me.

Your body just dumps all the hormones it can into your system to get you out of the situation. Huh, I should be in horrific agony but I’m not. I better get somewhere safer before I can feel again.

It's worth everyone's time and money to throw down the $100 or so and the weekend to take a wilderness first aid class. Learn: How to do splints on all limbs. How to identify and treat various bites How to treat environmental emergencies (heat, cold, lightning, drowning) Back to thread topic: I was an EMT-Advanced before going to basic, so I made myself the barracks doctor, but with actual medical experience. A guy had caught a hot brass on 240/249 day, and had decided to treat his burn with hand sanitizer. By the time he said something to me and I examined, the infection had almost reached his armpit lymph nodes. As in there was a thin red line from the burn up his arm. I MADE him go to sick call.

If you get hosed up, you get hosed up I guess! Me and a buddy set out on Lost Coast trail in the winter probably ten years ago now and spent a couple of days in incomparable beauty and punishing rain. We knew it was going to be wet, but at some point your synthetic clothes pass threshold and we became one with the rain. Fire was impossible -- we tried hard enough the first night to know not to bother the second. We stopped and set up a rainfly lean to so we could make a hot lunch on a canister stove the middle of the third day in a redwood grove and realized that we were never going to get enough calories in us to make this comfortable. We struck, turned around, and made back the whole two and a half days' hike that evening, I'm not even really sure, about 20 odd miles, got back to the truck well after dark as the big ol fat raindrops turned into a screaming wind and biblical deluge lol. Insanely tough day of walking in boots full of wet sand but I think it was probably the right decision to not die of chattering teeth in a broken tent. If that had been somewhere less hospitable than northern California, we probably would have taken a real spanking from mother nature. Sometimes you just gotta call it, and the best time to do that is, you know, well before you're in it.
