[outlookfilmer]

yeah not too sure of how things are done out west, here on the east coast on pretty much any pin job everything is cribbed extensivly.

I didnt mean patient stabilization, I should have been more clear, rather vehicle stabilization

[ronsurf]

I see what you're saying. It looks as if the front tires are on the ground which is supporting the weight bearing portion of the vehicle (everything under the hood, engine, etc). It also looks like the left rear tire is locked against the divider. The truck is also bent real good on that divider. It looks like it's own weight is stabilizing it.

There may be a stop on the right front tire, but it's hard to tell with the camera angle.

Don't know how much more they could have done.

[ronsurf]

I see what you're saying. It looks like the front tires are on the ground, which are weight bearing from the engine. The rear left tire looks locked against the divider, preventing it from moving anymore. Also the the truck has a heavy deviation along its midline which is also anchoring it in place. They probably have a stop on the front tire.

I dont think there's anything else they can that would stabilize it further. But it's hard to tell.

[outlookfilmer]

no stabilization?

[ronsurf]

What are you talking about? Both patients have a C-collar, are backboarded, IVs started, and theyre even splinted. They did a great job.

Amkus is still the tool of choice out west?
