this is one of the physical standards required of the NLS program. It is not actually representative of how an ideal rescue might be initiated.

I suck at doing eggbeater ;[

[laadeedaaflip]

youcan't use the aid for the standards,

plus, if i ever have to do a spinal, my tube is coming off cuz i always get tangled in it when i swim for a dns.

Almost failed NLS because of this carry, my victim was 170 lbs and muscular while I was 120 lbs.

Eggbeater saved my life! LOL

@rawrr216 well... depends if you're good at it or not

[KristineMendoza13]

Stupid weird music!!!!

[rawrr216]

@Tirnith the vice grip keeps the victim more immoblized than the head splint.

[beattunic]

This victims head was brought way too high out of the water. As well as the rescuer should have had another finger free to protect the airway... but good though-nice egg beater!!!!

[jsorokowski]

Plus the reason for eggbeater is that eggbeater motions aren't jarring: that is to say, a scissor or whip kick would cause the rescuer to bounce up and down out of the water, jeopardizing the patient's immobilization
