@FeatheryBird But if you have witnessed it to be a possible spinal injury you at least have to immobilize them on the board in a basic manner. Most of the time it is quicker to bring someone with a suspected spinal injury to a shallow part of the pool and then board them. If there is no spinal injury then you can remove the person at the nearest wall.

I'm taking this class it's the last time before the new regulations starting in January 2012. It's so primitive it's ridiculous. You can bet NASA pool has technology decades beyond this. I'm disgusted with the equipment. No matter how many "updates" they do it's still poorly designed especially backboards. The average person has less than 20 seconds before they start drowning. You have to get them out and to surface. If they aren't breathing theycome right out of the pool,and this sinstructional

Interesting use of rescue tubes. It's complicated, and takes too long though - if you include the time it takes to do up the straps (which they helpfully cut out in the video), it looks to be about 4 minutes from contact to assessment. With a competent second guard we can hit under 2 minutes (although that is in a pool with a flush-to-water deck). Bear in mind that a 2 minute difference in time-to-CPR means a 20% decrease in survival probability.

Spinal precautions for Near Drowning Victimsby acadianopps6,504 views
I had heard that lifeguards had either incorrectly sized them or caused more damage placing them on a victim, so it was discontinued. it may be up to the individual facility to train their staff to do so, but i wouldn't want to go beyond the level of my training and increase liability. On many occasions EMS may arrive during back-boarding and place a c collar on. I hoe that answers your question.
