FEATURED NEW PRODUCTS4

CMCProSeriesAluminum Key-LockCarabinersMatching high performance with minimum

weight, CMC ProSeries carabiners are the

only aluminum carabiners that meet the

NFPA strength requirements for General

Use. The new key-lock design eliminates

snagging and a re-designed gate provides

a full 1.1-inch. opening.

See Page 31

SureClip™

Here’s an essential tool for tower rescue, rope

access work, and non-entry confined space

rescue. It extends the rescuer’s reach to place a

high anchor for a fixed line or belay, or it can be

used to connect a carabiner to a downed sub-

ject’s harness without entering a confined space.

See Page 117

Confined SpaceEntry andRescue Manual SECOND EDITION

In a newly expanded and updated second edition, the

CMC Confined Space Entry & Rescue Training

Manual is the textbook for confined space rescue

courses taught by the CMC Rescue School, the offi-

cial textbook for California State Fire Marshal certified

confined space rescue courses, and the training

manual of choice for fire departments and industrial

rescue teams nationwide.

See Page 151

CMC ProTechAccess PulleyDesigned to work with 11 mm ropes, the Access

Pulley is ideal for industrial applications as well as

many rescue operations. The proprietary locking

system does not rely on a toothed cam and can

easily be unlocked while under load. The integral

swivel reduces torque by aligning the pulley with

the load, increasing efficiency and safety.

See Page 36

CMC ProTech Oval CarabinersThe ProTech Oval is a non-locking carabiner that features the key-lock

design for snag-free operation and a side-swing gate for maximum

gate opening. The oval design places equal force on the spine and

gate, allowing the carabiner to maintain full rated strength regardless

of the width of the web or rope clipped into it.

See Page 32

FEATURED NEW PRODUCTS 5


CMC ProTechBiWire CarabinersWire gate carabiners are popular in the climbing world

because of their light weight and high strength. CMC’s

BiWire adds a new dimension to the concept by creating

what is effectively a locking wire-gate carabiner. This patent-

pending design features an outer gate which protects the

inner gate and prevents rope or hardware from opening it.

Two distinct and opposite actions are required to open

the gate. Even though the wires look thin, the BiWire’s

minor axis strength is comparable to a conventional

gated carabiner.

See Page 30

NRS RapidRescuer PFD

This “live bait” PFD has all those extra

features that are useful to a swiftwater

rescue technician The large front pockets

stretch to hold carabiners, web, a GPS or

a radio. Besides the standard lash

tabs for a knife, there is a ring for

a whistle and a lash tab on

the right side to attach the

carabiner on a tether. The back

has an attachment point for a

glow stick and a lash tab for

a strobe. The shell is tough

500-denier CORDURA® nylon

and carries plenty of reflec-

tive striping on both sides.

See Page 143

CMC RescueSwivel DoublePulleysWith a rotating swivel to align rope with

the direction of pull, this pulley

is ideal for high anchor points or tripods.

Combining the swivel with

the pulley minimizes overall length,

and the proprietary pivoting side plate

allows rope that is connected to the

anchor to be inserted.

See Page 34

CMC ProTech Key-Lock

CarabinersHere’s the ideal Light Use carabiner for rescue

and rope access. The new key-lock design

won’t hang up when unclipping from a har-

ness or web. The wide gate opening fits over

1 in. diameter railings—unusual for a cara-

biner this compact and light.

See Page 30 CMC Rescue MPD™

PULLEY • RESCUE BELAY • DESCENDER

Developed over seven years of research and testing, the MPD is a major advance

in technical hardware for professional rope rescuers. It is a Multi-Purpose Device

that performs all functions for main lines, belay/safety lines, tag lines, and hoisting

lines. The MPD can be used to tension high lines and guiding lines. Training

and on-scene rigging are greatly simplified by using a single device.

Changeovers from a lowering system to a raising system becomes faster and

safer by eliminating the need to switch out and replace hardware.

FEATURED NEW PRODUCTS6


Princeton Tec EOS IIIntrinsically Safe HeadlampWith its Class I, Division 1 rating, the EOS II Headlamp is the safest choice

when working in hazardous environments. The single Maxbright Rebel LED

puts out an incredible 50 lumens and has a running burn time of up to

60 hours. Waterproof to one meter, it’s also an excellent choice when

swimming rivers or working in

other environments.

See Page 74

CMC ProTech Roof AnchorThe Roof Anchor quickly provides a secure anchor point for roof

operations. Set it on the roof and hammer the 1/2-inch (12 mm)

diameter spike into the surface. When not in use, the spike

folds into the anchor for safe storage and transport.

See Page 43 NARS EscapeAnchorThe NARS Escape Hook gives users a high degree of flexi-

bility, providing a quick solution to the problem of finding a

secure anchor for a successful escape. It can be used to

breach walls and anchor into studs while the oval design

protects the hand. The point can be hooked over an edge

or behind a solid pipe.

See Page 122

CMC Rescue Personal Gear BagHere’s the perfect gear bag for your harness, helmet, goggles

and Pro Pocket. When you’re wearing your gear, you can pull

out the hide-away shoulder straps to turn the bag into a

backpack. It has side pockets for gloves and other small

items, and luggage-style handles on the top and end.

See 4

Princeton TecApex-Pro™The Apex-Pro uses two CR123 lithium batteries and

Princeton Tec’s proprietary optics (which increase

performance by over 30%) for incredible brightness

with minimum weight. The high-output, 3-Rebel

LED provides a powerful spot light, or select the

array of four high-intensity ultrabright LEDs (five

times brighter than standard LEDs) for wide area

illumination and a longer running time.

See Page 75

EmegearNeXsplintCervical SplintNot just a C-collar requiring continuous

support by the medic, this is a full cervical

splint. It acts as a force multiplier, allowing

cervical stabilization in difficult-to-work

locations or when access to the patient is

limited. The NeXsplint fits a broad range of

patient sizes and types, eliminating the need

for carrying multiple collars to make sure

you have the right size.

See Page 84

FEATURED NEW PRODUCTS 7


CMC Survivor Escape Artist Systems

A successful emergency egress requires a secure anchor, fast deployment,

hands free for a safe edge transition, and a controllable descent.

We’ve refined our emergency egress products to better meet these

needs. Our top-of-the-line Escape Kit features fire and

temperature resistant components and a new Double Brake

Escape Artist descent control device. It also includes the light

weight and verastile NARS Escape Anchor. Our lower cost

Escape System does not sacrifice performance.

It includes a CMC Survivor 8, CMC Rescue Escape Line, a

tough CORDURA® nylon Escape Bag, and our new

ProTech Key-Lock Carabiner for anchoring the line.

See Page 123

CMC RescueDouble BrakeEscape Artist THE MOST ADVANCED DESCENT CONTROL DEVICE AVAILABLE

Some users were concerned that in a

panic situation, a firefighter might

squeeze the handle of their descender

and not be able to stop. The unique

design of the Double Brake Escape

Artist eliminates that concern.

You release the handle to stop,

but if you squeeze too hard, the

Double Brake Escape Artist will

slow or stop your descent.

See Page 121

Firefighter Retrieval System

The Firefighter Retrieval Kit has the tools to accomplish a horizontal or

vertical evacuation of a downed firefighter as well as providing you with a

means of escape. The single pulley allows the rescuer to build a 2:1

mechanical advantage for assistance in dragging an incapacitated

firefighter across the floor. By rigging the single and double pulleys and

connecting to a high point, a 3:1 mechanical advantage can be built to

raise a downed firefighter up and over a window sill or other obstruction

and down to a safe haven. You can also use the Survivor 8 to lower

yourself or another firefighter to safety.

See Page 122

CMC Survivor Escape HarnessThis harness is designed to be worn during fire ground operations. Made of KEVLAR® fiber web for

high heat and flame resistance, it can be worn over bunker pants without compromising firefighter

safety. The extended D-ring attachment point makes connecting to the D-ring easy even under a

turnout coat. The D-ring folds down for greater comfort during normal wear.

Certification Application

The service life of a rescue harness is closely related to that of a rescue

rope—both are used in the same environments, both are made from nylon

or polyester, and both receive similar levels of inspection and care. Since

harnesses are worn on the body, they are generally better protected than

ropes. However, harnesses rely on stitching to hold them together, and

because of thread’s small diameter, it can be more susceptible to abrasion,

aging, and chemical damage than web or rope.

Industry standards range from as little as a 2-year service life for fall pro-

tection and sport climbing harnesses to a 10-year maximum service life

for kernmantle rescue ropes. This suggests a 10-year maximum shelf life

for harnesses, with a shorter service life based on frequency of use. If

there is any doubt about the safety of the harness, it should be removed

from service.

When to Retire a Rescue Harness


CMC RESCUE HARNESSES 14


When rappelling or stretcher tending, rescuers are usually already at the ‘end of the

rope’ and are not likely to fall. Working near the edge has a potential for a fall, but

fortunately falls of the severity simulated in the standards happen very seldom. This

is particularly true with the NFPA 1983 requirement that after a head-up fall, the

harness is subjected to a second, head-down fall. The static test loads the attach-

ment points on the harness to more than 10 times the weight of a rescuer. Not only

is the test conducted in the normal head-up position, but also in a head-down posi-

tion, requiring the harness to demonstrate its strength no matter which direction the

rescuer moves.

A rescue harness is tested to measure its performance as a finished product. The

severity of the tests provide excellent assurance that the harness will perform

exceptionally well under normal use. What is very difficult to write into the standard

is the human factor—the ease of donning and comfort. Through our own experi-

ences with CMC harnesses and feedback from our customers, we pay attention to

donning and comfort, as well as building strength into our harness designs.

Harness Standards Are Thereto Protect the Rescuer


Static Test Requirements for Load Bearing Attachment PointsTest Position Class I Class II Class III Ladder Belt Escape Belt

Head up 3,597 lbf. (16 kN) 3,597 lbf. (16 kN) 3,597 lbf. (16 kN) 2,923 lbf. (13 kN) 2,923 lbf. (13 kN)

Head down None None 2,248 lbf. (10 kN) None None

Horizontal None None None 2,248 lbf. (10 kN) None

Positioning attachment point requirements are 2,923 lbf. (13 kN) for the head-up test and 2,248 lbf. (10 kN) for a horizontal test.

Drop Testing RequirementsHarnesses and escape belts are also required to pass a drop test for each attachment point. The test method uses a 300 lb. (136 kg) manikin dropped one meter

on a 1.2 meter steel lanyard. Each sample is tested with a head-up drop and a head down drop.

NFPA Standard 1983 Life Safety Harness and Belt TypesClass I Life Safety Harness – a pelvic harness designed for

escape and with a design load of 300 lbf. (1.33 kN).

Class II Life Safety Harness – a pelvic harness designed for

rescue and with a design load of 600 lbf. (2.67 kN).

Class III Life Safety Harness – a full body harness designed

for rescue and with a design load of 600 lbf. (2.67 kN).

Ladder Belt – a belt with at least one attachment point and is

a positioning device for a person

on a ladder. Ladder belts shall

have a tether or device for

connecting to the ladder, with a

maximum length not to exceed

24 in. (610 mm).

Escape Belt – a belt with at least

one attachment point and is an

emergency self-rescue device.

NFPA Standard 1983 Life Safety Harness and BeltPerformanceRequirementsThe test method in the standard

requires a static test and a drop

test. The static test differentiates

between load bearing attachment

points and positioning attachment

points with different load require-

ments for each. Where attachment

points such as shoulder or side

D-rings are intended to be used in

pairs, the test will be done in pairs.

CMC’s instructors and engineers are a curious lot, always

asking what would happen if they did “….” We also get a lot

of what if questions from students and customers. Since

we’ve always been interested in answering as many of them

as possible, we’ve always done a lot of product testing. Our

test tower allows us to conduct product performance tests

like the NFPA harness static test (left) and drop test (above).

We are also able to test belay and anchor systems with

dynamic or static loading. As we experiment with new design

ideas and different rescue systems, we’re able to see what

works best from a laboratory perspective. Through trials in

the field and feedback from students in rescue school

classes, we add real world input to come up with the best

products possible.

While the dorsal D-ring on CMCFire Rescue and Riggers harness-es adjusts so it can be properlypositioned, it is designed to notslide up when the D-ring isloaded. If the force of loading theharness, either under normal useor a fall, slides a dorsal D-ring uptowards the back of the user’shead, the webbing going over theshoulders could pinch in towardsthe user’s neck. This has the pos-sibility of not only discomfort, buteven compromising the carotidarteries with severe results. Byhaving the dorsal D-ring securelyattached (fixed) to the rear waistportion of the harness, the har-ness design not only eliminatesthis hazard from taking place butalso allows the peak impact forceof the fall to be absorbed by thepelvis and the thighs, as opposedto the back, increasing rescuercomfort and safety.

The Advantage of theFixed Dorsal D-Ring

CMC ProTech Haz-Mat Extrication Harness

The Haz-Mat Extrication Harness was designed with

input from Phoenix Fire Captain Mark Delima as an

extrication device for personnel wearing Level-A chemi-

cal protective clothing (NFPA 472). The harness is worn

over the garment and incorporates a dorsal attachment

point for lifting or lowering the rescuer. The web straps

of the harness also provide easy grab points if an inca-

pacitated rescuer needs to be lifted or moved. The har-

ness may also be used with other bulky protective wear

such as immersion or ice rescue suits. Because of the

unknown level of exposure to chemical atmospheres or

direct chemical contact inherent in a hazardous materi-

als incident, haz-mat equipment is usually required to be disposable. Although designed to

be a one-time-use harness, the Haz-Mat Extrication Harness is made by CMC with the same care and quality materials as all CMC

harnesses and can be reused if deployed in non-toxic atmospheres. One size fits most personnel. Weight: 1 lb. 12 oz. (794 g).

The CMC/Roco Universal Harness represents both an improvement of the first

generation of CMC/Roco products and an evolution of harness design and

use. In addition to a step-up in comfort and reduced weight, the Universal is a

harness for rescue, rope access work, and fall protection. Its lighter weight

and ease of donning and doffing will appeal to emergency responders who

must act quickly. Those who work on-rope will find the side positioning D-rings

a welcome addition to the CMC/Roco design. We believe everyone will benefit

from the revolutionary waist and leg padding. The larger front D-Ring will

accept up to 3 rescue size carabiners. Improved gear loops and the unique

Web-Keepers™ for the web tails also make the Universal a one-of-a-kind

harness. So, if your job requires versatility in order to adapt to a variety of situ-

ations or you just want a harness that incorporates the latest designs for com-

fort and safety and meets OSHA and NFPA requirements for a full-body har-

ness, the new CMC/Roco Universal is for you.

CMC Rescue HarnessUL Classified to NFPA 1983 – Class II

Back in 1983 we designed the CMC Rescue Harness to meet

the needs of search & rescue better than a recreational climb-

ing harness. The D-ring attachment point made connecting

carabiners easy even when hanging in the harness. Extra wide

waist and leg loops created more of a “work platform” than the

slim profile of a climbing harness. Today’s harness has molded

waist and leg pads for greater comfort, a rear waist D-ring for

travel restraint, and gear slings on each side. With over a quar-

The Survivor™ product line began with a firedepartment request for a ladder belt that had thecomfort and quality of a CMC harness. Based onthe traditional ladder belt that provided fall restraintand basic tool-carrying capability, we added com-fort features and the strength necessary to meetthe requirements of NFPA Standard 1983. CMC

has continued to expand the product line for fire ground belts and harnesses by combining our design and engineering with ongoing inputfrom firefighters. The Survivor can significantlyincrease the safety of firefighters by providing more and better options for fall restraint andemergency escape.

CMC Rescue Pro Pocket™

Many of us have been using small stuff bags hanging from our rescue harness to store runners,

safety scissors, gloves, and other equipment. Most pants pockets seem to hold items under the leg

straps of the harness which is painful and makes access difficult. The Pro Pocket is designed to

carry your accessory equipment securely attached to your harness. The main bag is large enough to

fit your hand inside and it easily stores bulky items. The front pocket is the place to keep things you

do not want in your pants pocket, but do not want to drop either, like keys or pagers. The small side

pocket will also hold scissors or a safety knife. The carabiner loops allow you to clip off runners to

the outside of the bag or put a safety tether on tools you might be using. Web strap wraps around your harness and adjusts

with Hook & Loop allowing a tight, stable fit for most harnesses. Made of the same 1000 denier CORDURA® nylon as our

tough rope bags. Size: 6 x 4 x 11 in. (15 x 10 x 28 cm) Weight: 5 oz. (141 g)

What Is “3σ MBS”?You might think that determining the strength of a carabiner or other piece of rescue equipment

would be relatively easy. But, even with metals like aluminum and steel, two identical carabiners will

break at slightly different forces. Maybe only a hundred pounds of difference, but still different.

Breaking five samples, as called for by the NFPA test method, provides five different results. If only

the average breaking strength is reported, the odds that your carabiner is weaker than that average

are pretty good. Even if the strength of the weakest carabiner is used as the rating, there is still a

possibility that your carabiner could be weaker, and there is no way to know how much weaker. The

industry solution has been to use a statistical formula, referred to as three sigma (3σ). The minimum

breaking strength calculation arrived at with that formula is 99.87% reliable.

NFPA 1983 specifies a performance standard for rescue equipment. For example, a general-use

carabiner must have a 3 sigma minimum breaking strength of at least 40 kN (8,992 lbf). The test

method requires five samples and a 3σ MBS is calculated. The 2006 edition of the standard allows

the manufacturer to label the product with the MBS required by the standard or any higher number

that is not more than the actual 3σ MBS calculated from the test results of the five samples. CMC

feels that the user is best served if we label our hardware with the minimum MBS required by the

standard, while providing the actual 3σ MBS figures in our literature.

During the process of our new product development, there was not enough time for Underwriters

Laboratories to test all of CMC’s products before the publication of this catalog. Where we do not

have test results that provide the calculated MBS, we have left the MBS blank. If the product is

marked as meeting the standard, then you know that it meets the MBS required by the standard and

is marked accordingly. For the actual 3σ MBS or any questions regarding product performance,

please give us call or check our website at www.cmcrescue.com.

Belay Device Performance RequirementsNFPA 1983 does not have a specific category for “belay devices.” Depending on how the device functions,

it is tested to either the Rope Grab Standard or to the Descent Control Device standard.

Light-Use

Rope grab devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN (1,124 lbf.)

Descent control devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN

(1,124 lbf.) and have a 3σ MBS of not less than 13.5 kN (3,034 lbf.)

If the belay device has a passive breaking feature, the device shall not slip more than 25 mm at a force of

1.35 kN (300 lbf.)

General-Use

Rope grab devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 11 kN (2,500 lbf.)

Descent control devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN

(1,124 lbf.) and have a 3σ MBS of not less than 22 kN (4,946 lbf.)

If the belay device has a passive breaking feature, the device shall not slip more than 25 mm at a force of

2.7 kN (600 lbf.)

NFPA 1983 (2006) Pulley Performance RequirementsLight-Use

Minimum 3 sigma breaking strength (3σ MBS) of not less than 22 kN (4,946 lbf.)

3σ MBS of a becket of not less than 12 kN (2,698 lbf.)

About CMC Carabiners | HARDWARE 29


Oval

The CMC ProTech

Oval and BiWire

Oval are small utility

carabiners great for

attaching hardware

to your harness.

CMC uses the

ovals to finish off

the Load Release

Strap and/or to

guide the rope

into a pulley while

tending a Prusik.

ProTech

CMC ProTech carabiners

are the perfect size to

attach descenders,

ascenders or safety lines

to your harness.

Lightweight and strong,

ProTech locking

carabiners are also a

good choice for techni-

cal rescue systems

where the weight of your

equipment is a factor.

ProSeries and CMC Steel

CMC ProSeries Aluminum carabiners

and CMC Rescue Steel carabiners

are our big carabiners designed for

rope rescue systems. The wide gate

openings fit easily over most

stretcher rails and anchor points.

The ProSeries aluminum carabiners

meet the General Use performance

requirements of NFPA 1983 at half

the weight of steel carabiners.

ProSeries XL

Designed as a replacement for the heavy,

steel ladder hooks, CMC ProSeries XL

carabiners are also useful if you frequently

encounter large diameter anchor points.

CMC Manual-Lock Gate Design

CMC Manual-Lock carabiners stay unlocked until put

into service. Then a quick 1/4 turn locks the gate. Unlike

an auto-lock carabiner, the Manual-Lock does not need

to be unlocked to remove it from your gear rack or loop.

Unlike a screw-lock carabiner, there is no nut that can

vibrate open or tighter. This makes the Manual-Lock an

excellent choice for helicopter operations or other high

vibration environments. The gate can be opened or

closed with one hand.

CMC Visual Safety Indicators

A “skull & crossbones” warning symbol (b) provides

visual indication that the gate is not locked on the

Manual-Lock and the Screw-Lock carabiners. For added

convenience and safety, a “lock & arrow” indicates

which way to turn the sleeve to lock the gate on these

carabiners. While a carabiner should always be physical-

ly checked to confirm it is locked, the visual indicators

provide an additional level of safety.

CMC Key-Lock Carabiners

CMC ProSeries and ProTech carabiners

now use an advanced new key-lock

design. The key-lock does

not have a notch that can hang

up when you are removing

the carabiner from a harness

or web loops. The CMC Key-

Lock Carabiner’s proprietary

(patent pending) design

gives it exceptional strength

in all directions. That strength

is above what you would find

on conventional key-lock design

gates, and even most above

the strength of most pin and

notch designs.

A brand new carabiner designed to be the

ideal Light Use carabiner for rescue and rope

access. The key-lock design does not hang up

when un-clipping from your harness or web.

The wide gate opening fits over 1-in. diameter

railings — unusual for a carabiner this com-

pact and light. The bright orange Manual-Lock

model comes with a removable keeper pin for

use with lanyards or for terminating escape or

RIT lines. Every carabiner is Proof Loaded.

new! CMC ProTech BiWire CarabinersWire gate carabiners became popular in the climbing world because of their light weight and high strength. The BiWire

adds a totally new dimension to the concept by creating what is effectively a locking wire-gate carabiner. Two distinct and

opposite actions are required to open the gate. This patent-pending design features an outer gate which protects the

inner gate and prevents rope or hardware from opening it. Neither pressure from the outside or the inside of the carabiner

can cause the gate to open. This makes the BiWire a safer alternative to a non-locking carabiner. The BiWire design is

inherently strong and the gate is very resistant to dirt and ice. Even though the wires look thin, the BiWire minor axis

strength is comparable to a conventional gate carabiner. Interior Length: 3.5 in. (88 mm)

Note: The BiWire should not be used to replace a conventional locking gate carabiner because the gate is not physically

secured by a sleeve. It could be possible for something to push open the inner gate allowing the possibility of the cara-

biner coming unclipped. So, use the BiWire as an alternative to a non-locker when you want extra strength and security.

Maillon Rapide Quick LinksQuick Links are gaining popularity for use in situations for which carabiners are

not recommended, such as when tri-axial loading cannot be avoided. The Delta

shape can be used to rig anchors. The Delta and the Half Moon can be used

as a chest harness connector. While slower to open and close than a cara-

biner, they can be more secure when tightened down, and cost less.

new! CMC ProTech Oval CarabinersThe ProTech Oval is CMC’s non-locking carabiner and the unique features include the key-lock

design for snag-free operation and a side-swing gate for maximum gate opening. The oval design

places equal amounts of force on the spine and gate allowing the carabiner to maintain full rated

strength regardless of the width of the web or rope clipped into it. The ProTech Oval is a good size

to clip over the ropes coming out of a pulley to help push a Prusik Hitch. Non-locking carabiners

provide a variety of utility functions such as racking equipment or as the "keeper" carabiner on a

load-release strap or Mariner’s knot. They are also used in critical climbing or rescue applications

where a stuck gate must be avoided, but always used as pairs, rigged opposite and opposed.

Steel Locking D’s combine CMC’s experience in rescue with Omega Pacific’s

manufacturing expertise. Our auto-locking steel carabiner provides the safety of

a 3-stage auto-locking gate that can be easily opened with one hand. Using an

auto-locking carabiner decreases the possibility that the user will forget to lock

the gate or that the gate will vibrate unlocked if not kept in the correct position.

The compact size maximizes strength and allows a gate opening wide enough to

fit over most litter rails. On the screw-lock models, the nut locks against the

gate to prevent jamming. Every Carabiner is Proof Loaded.

CMC ProTech PulleysUL Classified to NFPA 1983

The choice for anyone that needs a super light, high strength pulley such as

for mountain rescue, ski patrol, tower work, and swiftwater rescue. By machin-

ing the sideplates, the thickness of the metal can be varied to maximize the

“strength to weight” ratio, a process that cannot be done with the traditional

bent metal sideplates. The unique axle assembly allows a smooth sideplate

that will not catch on the surface or other hardware. The aluminum sheave is

mounted on sealed ball bearings. Ideal for small block and tackle kits.

Patent Pending

The CMC CSR Pulley is a professional tool for Confined

Space Rescue and numerous other rope access and rescue

applications. It has a proprietary locking system, unlike other

pulleys that rely on a toothed cam, the CMC CSR Pulley can

be unlocked while under load.

By eliminating the cam, the pul-

ley system is much more com-

pact when fully collapsed.

Another safety feature is the

integral swivel that reduces torque by aligning the pulley with the load. A built-

in swivel is considerably more compact as it eliminates the need for multiple

connections to incorporate a separate swivel, robbing the raising system of valu-

able clearance under tripods. The machined aluminum eye provides exceptional

strength. The CSR Pulley, and its companion Swivel Double Pulley, both have

high strength aluminum side plates, sealed ball bearings, and anodized

aluminum sheaves. Accepts 7/16 and 1/2 in. (11 to 13 mm) diameter rope.CSR Pulley

CMC Rescue 8UL Classified to NFPA 1983 – General Use & Light Use

The classic CMC Rescue 8 design has been refined for even better performance with the cur-

rent selection of rescue rope. Over twenty years ago, descenders had to accommodate rescue rope

sizes from 7/16 to 5/8 inch. Today 5/8 in. rope is no longer common and the smaller dimensions of the

new design provide greater control. CMC’s exotic proprietary finish on the aluminum model provides out-

standing wear resistance. The nickel-chrome plated steel model excels in the exceptionally high wear situa-

tions such as helicopter operations or sandy, gritty environments. The extended carabiner hole provides room

for multiple carabiners. Both models are machined from 1/2 in. plate.

CMC Rappel 8UL Classified to NFPA 1983 – Light Use

The design of the popular CMC Rappel 8 has been refined. The slightly more compact design offers superb control on

3/8 to 7/16 in. rope, which makes it just right for SWAT teams, climbers, cavers, and sport rappellers. Machined from 1/2 in.

aluminum plate, the Rappel 8 contains almost twice the material of other small 8s, providing better heat dissipation. Now with

CMC’s superior proprietary finish for even longer wear resistance. Because the CMC Rappel 8 was optimized for use with

NFPA Light Use rope (9 to 11 mm) we decided to only certify it in the Light Use class.

Gibbs AscendersGibbs Ascenders provide excellent performance under the most adverse conditions, gripping on even muddy and icy ropes.

Used for years for ascending by cavers, Gibbs are also used by many rescue teams for ratchets in haul systems and in

other rope grab applications where a mechanical ascender provides greater efficiency. The Sport models are intended for

ascending rope and work well for pack hauling systems for climbers and cavers. The Rescue models have a heavier shell

and larger diameter pin for greater strength when used in a litter hauling system. On all models, the bottom of the shell has

been modified to provide a curved interface with the rope for greater strength. With the spring loaded models, the spring

prevents the ascender from sliding down the rope when the cam is not loaded. All models fit rope from 7/16 to 1/2 in. (11-

12.5 mm). Note: the breaking strength applies to the unit. The actual Gibbs/rope performance will vary depending onthe type, brand, and condition of the rope.

Swivels perform two functions that can help a rescue system runsmoother, first by removing twist from the system, and second byallowing the pulley to align with the direction of pull.

Cable based systems have been used successfully for over 40 yearsfor car over the side rescues and they are frequently used in industrial applications. A loaded cable unwinds and can put significanttwist into the system, a particular nuisance if it wraps around thebelay line. A swivel at the end of the cable eliminates this problem.

When rigging a change of direction, especially highpoints over aconfined space where a tripod could not be used, a swivel can help.

The primary place during industrial type rescues is where the systemis rigged from a lower level due to space limitations. A swivel at thebottom change of direction helps resolve the twisting action of thebottom anchor.

If the system rope is dragging on the sideplate of a change of direction pulley, system efficiency is lost. While the pulley and carabinerconnection appears loose, when loaded it tends to hold the twocomponents more in alignment. Inserting a swivel at this point allowsthe pulley to move freely to align with the direction of the load onthe rope.

CMC Anchor PlatesUL Classified to NFPA 1983 – General Use

A CMC original design that has stood the test of time, the CMC Anchor Plate

keeps the carabiners holding the different parts of your rescue system from

jamming together. The hardware becomes easier to see, making safety

checks more accurate. It can also keep you from clipping a carabiner into the

wrong loop of the anchor webbing. For anchor systems, it makes an excellent

collection point. We use the Anchor Plate in CMC Rope Rescue classes, allow-

ing our students to set up their systems faster, with fewer mistakes.

Tubular and flat webbing | WEBBING 45


We have been using our one-inch flat webbing in our rescue

classes for several years and it has proven to be an excel-

lent performer. While not all flat web will hold a knot secure-

ly, CMC Rescue Flat Webbing has been specifically selected

for the suppleness necessary to allow knots to be set

securely. Flat web also tends to be easier to untie after a

heavy load than the much softer tubular web. While the flat web is bulkier than the tubular, it does provide a

significantly higher strength. Available by the foot or spool. Note: Industry practice allows for up to threesections per spool. Made of Polyester fiber.

*UL Classified to NFPA 1983 Not all subjects are injured or requireimmobilization and transport in astretcher, so a rappel based rescuecan often be used. One common rappel based rescue involves transferringthe subject onto the rescuer’s descender. This is usually referred to as a“pick off.” Hands on experience practicing and teaching this technique ledto the development of the CMCProSeries Pick Off Strap as a moreefficient way of quickly securing a subject then transferring their weight.

Today’s CMC Rescue School classesteach team based skills, and the pickoff rescue now employs a main lineand a belay line. The Pick Off Strapcontinues to be used for quick attachment to the subject, effecting theweight transfer, and then positioningthe subject above the rescuer for best control.

Similar product ideas that followed thePick Off Strap included the CMCProSeries Adjustable Stretcher Strap,which provided a more efficient tendertie in for low angle evacuations, andthe CMC ProSeries Load ReleaseStrap. The Load Release Strap is acompact, simple, easy to rig way torelease the load on the “ratchet” of themain line or a loaded belay device.

These are just a few of the originalCMC designs that have been widely adopted by rescuers aroundthe world.

CMC ProSeries AdjustableStretcher Strap

Tying in at the right distance from the litter

is the key to comfort and efficiency. That’s

why we devel-

oped the

Adjustable Stretcher

Strap. Minor adjustments can be

made while the litter is moving. Quickly

releasing the buckle extends the strap rather than

dragging the rescuer down with the litter. Sewn loop strength exceeds 8,039lbf. (36 kN). Buckle performs the same as the Pick Off Strap described above.

The Pick Off Rescue

CMC ProSeries Pick Off StrapCMC created the Pick Off Strap so that a rescuer could quickly con-

nect to the victim and then adjust the strap to the desired length. CMC

Pick Off Strap works well for positioning the victim for a lowering or

rappel-based pick off or for an assisted rappel. We added a

loop to the end for a more positive grip when

pulling to adjust. Our ProSeries blue web

improves the long-term performance,

especially

where it threads

through the buckle. D-Ring end is rated at 8,039

lbf. (36 kN). Depending on how the buckle is

loaded, it will begin to slip between 3,500 to 4,500

lbf. (15-20 kN). Tying off the buckle will increase the

strength. This Pick Off Strap with Web Keeper allows the strap to be carried on a

gear sling or harness without tangling or getting caught. Color: Blue. Length whenfully extended: 42 in. (107 cm) Weight: 13 oz. (368 g)

ROPES & ACCESSORIES | User Guide50


Rescue Lifeline By far the predominate rope in rescue

operations is 1/2-inch, static kernman-

tle rope. The core (kern) and sheath

(mantle) construction provides excellent

handling and durability. Rescue units

that transport rope long distances often

select a smaller diameter, such as

7/16-inch. While all nylon construction

has been the standard for years, lower

stretch all-polyester ropes are gaining

popularity.

Rope Access WorkMost rope access work such as window

washing, building and dam inspection,

and other work on rappel uses 7/16-inch

kernmantle ropes. This size works well

with a variety of hardware on the market,

particularly the more sophisticated

descenders such as the Petzl I’D.

Escape LineSince Escape Lines spend most of their

time being carried, they should be light in

weight and compact enough to stay out of

the way when working a fire. All certified

escape lines provide sufficient strength for

the bailout rappel. The difference is their

resistance to the heat of the fire ground

environment. While the nylon and poly-

ester fiber ropes meet the NFPA require-

ment for heat resistance, some ropes add

aramid fibers to provide an added level of

resistance.

RIT LineIn many areas it has become a standard

practice to deploy a small cord behind the firefighter when entering an area

where low visibility and the floor plan increases the chance of becoming

“lost.” Called RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) Lines or Guide Lines, these ropes

let the RIT team retrace your path and find you. Aramid fibers are the prefer-

ence for their resistance to flame and high temperatures.

Climbing Rope When climbing above your belayer or if

you anticipate a fall factor greater than

.25, you need a dynamic rope such as

those used by rock climbers. These ropes

of nylon fiber and kernmantle construction

are designed for excellent handling and

maximum energy absorption.

Water RescueThrowlineThrowlines are designed to float so they

are easier to see and reach. The new

NFPA 1983 standard for water rescue

throwlines states they should be between

7 mm and 9.5 mm and have a minimum

strength of 13kN (2923 lbf.) Poly-

propylene is the most common fiber for

floating ropes and the higher strength

models add high tenacity polypropylene

fibers such as Spectra.

Prusik CordA Prusik Cord is a climbing accessory

cord used to tie a Prusik Hitch around the

rescue rope. A good Prusik Cord has just

the right stiffness to reliably grab the res-

cue rope with the cord. A cord that is too

stiff will not grab automatically when

needed. Soft cords grab too easily, making

them hard to manage, and tend to wear

out quickly.

Ladder HalyardA halyard for a fire service ladder must

be easy to grip with gloves and, because

ladders are stored on the exterior of the trucks, excellent resistance to sun

and rain is necessary. Single or double braid ropes work well in pulleys and

can be spliced for clean end terminations. CMC Rescue Ladderline is a

double-braid construction using polyester fiber for resistance to sun and

moisture.

Recommended Ropes for Specific Applications

User Guide | ROPES & ACCESSORIES 51


The elongation of a life safety rope relates directly to the forces encountered

when a load is placed on the rope, either by lifting a stretcher or when arrest-

ing a fall. The important question is “how much elongation” is right for any

particular application. A few years ago it was a simple choice. Sport climbing

ropes had too much stretch, and “static” kernmantle caving ropes had enough

stretch to provide some energy absorption, but not enough to make them inef-

ficient in systems. So we used the caving ropes, but today there are a lot more

choices in rope materials and performance.

In 1998, the Cordage Institute published standard (CI-1801) that defined a

“static” rope as having 1% to 6% elongation at 10% of the rope’s minimum

breaking strength. A “low-stretch” rope would have 6% to 10% elongation at

the rope’s minimum breaking strength. NFPA Standard 1983 on Life Safety

Rope sets the standard for elongation between 1% and 10% at a load equal to

10% of the rope’s minimum breaking strength.

Elongation is really just another way of describing how much a rope will

stretch when it is loaded. When the rope is used as a belay line, this stretch-

ing, or elongation, reduces the impact force. The greater the elongation, the

less force felt by the system. A good example would be a bungee jumper tak-

ing a tremendous fall (jump) and stopping very comfortably. The critical factor,

of course, is having enough clear, unobstructed space below.

It might seem that rope with high elongation would be appropriate as a belay

line. After all, a belay line catching a fall is a dynamic event, and the impact

forces throughout the system are greater than the static load. A high elonga-

tion rope would absorb energy and minimize the impact. But, as described

above, this requires a safe distance in which to stop. Unfortunately in a rescue,

there are too many ledges, edges, and other hard things that could be more

damaging to the rescuer and patient than the impact force of being quickly

stopped by the belay rope.

While advantageous for a belay, a rope with high elongation has disadvantages

when used with a rappel or stretcher system. When a rescuer on rappel or

tending a stretcher transfers his weight to the rope, the rope stretches. This

means there is more rope between the anchor and the rescuer, causing an

uncontrolled downward movement and introducing the risk of the rescuer hit-

ting a ledge or the ground. With high elongation rope in a raising system, the

haul team has to pull the stretch out of the rope before moving the load, thus

reducing the team’s efficiency. For these operations, an ideal rope would have

minimum elongation.

Determining How MuchElongation is Right for You

Here is how we suggest you decide “how much elongation” in a

rope is right for you. First, determine a maximum acceptable

impact force that your system should be able to tolerate without

causing harm to the people or failure of the system. The value

that has been suggested by many, and is being considered for

several standards, is 15 kN. This number was proposed many

years ago by the British Columbia Council on Technical Rescue

for their Belay Competence Drop Test (BCCTR). This was based

on a typical rescue load of a patient, stretcher, tender and gear.

Next, determine the maximum desired stopping distance for

your belay system. This requires looking at both the elongation

in the rope and the type of belay device being used. The BCCTR

test recommends a maximum stopping distance of 1 meter.

Your situation might allow a longer distance or may even

require a shorter distance.

When you have determined your requirements for impact force

and stopping distance, test your belay system to see if it meets

your needs. View the system as a whole, including rope, belay

device, operator, and anticipated loads. Different belay systems

can impart different impact forces on the system and should be

tested as a unit. ASTM F2436-05 Standard Test Method for

Measuring the Performance of Synthetic Rope Rescue Belay

Systems and Equipment provides a test method for comparing

one system to another. The best belay system will be one that

arrests a fall in the shortest distance and stays below the maxi-

mum acceptable force on the system’s components.

CMC Static-Pro Lifeline | ROPES & ACCESSORIES 53


CMC Rescue Static-Pro™ LifelineUL Classified to NFPA 1983

Constructed of 100% high-tenacity polyester fiber, Static-Pro Lifeline is an extremely low stretch, kernmantle

rescue lifeline that provides advantages when the need for super-low elongation offsets the need for the rope

to provide energy absorption in the system. With less than 1% stretch at 300 lbs., Static-Pro is an excellent

choice for high lines, long rappels, and many mechanical advantage haul systems. Its low electrical conduc-

tivity has advantages when working on towers or charged electrical equipment. The polyester fiber ropes

have better resistance to acids than nylon, making Static-Pro an advantage in acidic environments. TheStatic-Pro Lifelines come in solid colors with a single stripe to prevent confusion with CMC RescueLifeline and other solid color kernmantle ropes.

New England KM III Static Kernmantle Rescue Rope UL Classified to NFPA 1983

A superior handling rescue rope, New England Ropes KM III static kernmantle rope features a composite con-

struction of nylon and polyester fibers. KM III has a weight-balanced construction with the sheath and the core

each representing 50% of the total weight. The rope is torque-balanced to eliminate any spin during a rappel.

The continuous filament polyester sheath is braided over a continuous nylon fiber core. This provides excellent

handling and knot-holding characteristics, as well as rugged protection from abrasion and cutting. The polyester

sheath provides added protection for ultraviolet light and from chemicals that are harmful to nylon. The polyester

sheath also reduces the strength loss and weight gain that occurs when nylon absorbs water.

The following specifications apply to alldiameters of New England KM III:

Certification UL Classified to currentNFPA standards. CE approved to EN1891.

CMC RescuePrusik Cordand LoadRelease HitchCordThe most important attributes of a cord used for

Prusik Hitches is consistency in handling and

diameter. Once you have determined the Prusik Hitch that works best on your host rope, you want the same

performance every time you replace it. CMC Rescue Prusik Cord has the right balance of suppleness for reli-

able activation, but is not so soft that it wears out rapidly. Made of nylon with a torque-free, kernmantle con-

struction, it comes in solid colors to help discriminate between cords designed for Prusik Hitches and

climber’s accessory cords. Two color choices in the 7 mm and 8 mm diameters allow you to use a separate

color for each length Prusik in a Tandem Prusik Belay System. The 9 mm diameter is the size preferred by

rescuers that use a load releasing hitch. Available by the foot or spool.

New EnglandRopes AccessoryCordsFlexible and easily knotted, these special purpose nylon

utility cords have a torque-free, high-strength, kernman-

tle construction. The smaller sizes make excellent boot

laces and tag lines. The larger sizes can be used for tag

lines, chock slings, or Prusik Hitches. Available by thefoot or spool.

The performance parameters of PrusikHitches used to belay rescue systemshave received only limited investigationthrough reproducible testing. Severalquestions remain open such as the effectsof wear, age, and other environmentalinfluences. If you decide to rely on a PrusikHitch based system, it is your responsibility to determine that the particular combination of Prusik Hitch material (Prusik oraccessory cord) and the host rope willwork reliably for your systems, level oftraining, and rescue conditions.

CMC RescueLadderlineNFPA 1931 specifies a MBS of 825 lbs. for halyards

Manufactured by New England Ropes

Ladderline was designed as an optimal halyard for fire service extension ladders. The special spun polyester sheath provides smoother handling and an excellent

grip, with or without gloves, wet or dry. Ladderline is constructed of 100% polyester fiber for minimum stretch and sag caused by changing environmental condi-

tions. The polyester fiber will not rot or mildew, providing longer service life. With a double-braid construction, Ladderline can be spliced. CMC recommends using a

Halyard Clamp for easy installation. Color: White with a red tracer.

Halyard ClampLadderline can be spliced to make a strong, neat

connection to the anchor point on the ladder, but it

can be an involved process. The brass Halyard Clamp

is quick and easy to install, requiring only a mallet to

fold the prongs over on the doubled rope. Our testing

on 1/2-inch Ladderline indicates the clamp slips at

800 lbs. While not as strong as a knot or well made

splice, it is sufficiently strong for most customer’s

requirements. Fits 1/2 and 3/8-inch Ladderline.

CMC has been manufacturingCORDURA® nylon rope bags in ourown California facility since 1981. Ourtough, durable bags have proven themselves as the most efficient way tostore, carry, and deploy rescue ropes.Waterproof nylon protects the rope during storage and transport. Handles andshoulder straps make the bags easy tocarry. By throwing the bag, rope can bedeployed accurately and quickly withouttangling. In order to prevent the ropefrom hanging up, keep the bag withyou when rappelling through brush,trees, or other obstacles.

rope bags | ROPE & EQUIPMENT BAGS 61


CMC’s popular #2 through #6 Rope Bags have a variety of innovative features. The contoured backpack style shoulder straps provide greater comfort when carrying a

heavy bag. The tops of each bag feature rugged pack cloth that closes easily when you pull the drawstring. The body of the bag is the same tough 1000 denier

CORDURA® nylon that has made CMC Rope Bags such solid performers for years. Handles, just inside the top, can be used to hold the bag open for efficient stuffing or

can be used to carry the bag from the top. A soft rubber carrying handle is gentle on the hand when lifting or carrying the bag. The bottom of the bag has a grommet to

pass the rope through, plus a carabiner loop if you prefer to tie the end off inside the bag. The #1 Rope Bag has an external handle and is all CORDURA® nylon.

PERSONAL GEAR | Gloves and Pads68


CMC Rescue Riggers Gloves We have been looking for years to find a glove that was

thin enough to allow a rescuer to tie knots and work with

hardware, and still provide the protection needed when

operating a belay system or hauling on the main line. This syn-

thetic leather palm glove has the dexterity of a light glove, but the

durability and hand protection of a much heavier leather glove. The

pre-curved anatomic design offers a close, comfortable fit making it

easy to work with knots and hardware, yet the gloves also provide

hand protection for rappels, chain saw and power tool operation, or

busting brush. Mesh back increases comfort and helps to keep the

hands cooler. Elastic on the back of the wrist provides a secure fit. Label

has space for user’s name. Carabiner loops are sewn into wrist, which allow you

to hang gloves on harness gear loops, when not in use. Machine washable for easy clean up. Color: Black.

PlainEdge for detailed cutting. The Cobra Hood positions the thumb directly over the hole for quick blade deployment, and then doubles as a leveraging platform for the thumb.

The wavy pattern cut from the top of the blade and along the inside of the handle lets you place a piece of rope (between the half-open blade and handle) and scissor the

blade shut; especially convenient for cutting rope in-and-around flesh without having to fully open/expose the knife's blade. In the closed position, squeeze the blade deeper

into the handle and a retractable carbide tip protrudes out from the base for breaking glass. Outlined in safety orange on the handle's spine is a shrill and attention-pitched

Princeton Tec is converting theirheadlamp line to the revolutionary new Rebel LED technology that offerstwice the brightness, twice the efficiency, and a longer shelf life compared to standard high watt LEDs on themarket. As a result, today’s PrincetonTec headlamps offer significantlyincreased performance.

Princeton Tec lights that featureregulated LEDs have a sophisticatedregulating circuit that maintains initialbrightness as long as the batterieshave sufficient voltage. Traditionallights are very bright initially, butimmediately begin to dim and continue to dim until the batteries aredrained. Constant Brightness is aterm used to describe products thathave regulated LEDs.

Xenon bulbs use a special type ofhalogen gas. Xenon bulbs comeclosest to replicating the color temperature of daytime light. They alsogenerate about twice the brightnessand consume about half the power of traditional halogen bulbs.

Weight conscious users will love theQuad's sophisticated circuitry thatallows the optional use of lithium AAAbatteries. They reduce the Quad'sweight to 82 grams, perform inextremely cold temperatures, andsignificantly increase regulated burntimes on all modes.

The patentedStratLoad™ attachmentpoints for the CMCStretchers allow anysize carabiner to beused to attach a liftingbridle, while keepingboth the carabiners andthe lifting bridle on the

inside of the stretcher's top rail (where it isprotected from abrasion along cliff faces andbuilding walls). The StratLoad™ feature preventscross gate and side loading of carabiners andorients the direction of pull along the spine of thecarabiner where it is strongest. The stainless steelStratLoad™ is 1/4 inch thick with a full round radiuson the inside edge, allowing a soft attachmentwhich is then protected by the top railing. TheStratLoad™ comes standard on Steel Stretchersand is available as an option on Ti Stretchers.

CMC ProSeriesStainless Steel Rescue StretcherFeaturing StratLoad™ Attachment Points

The ProSeries Rescue Stretcher is a complete re-thinking of the classic Stokes

military-style stretchers. The top rail is a full one-inch diameter to make the

stretcher easier to handle when carried for extended periods. “Chicken

wire” has been replaced with a Durathene netting which eliminates the

cuts and scrapes caused by broken wires. Back support is molded, High-

Density Polyethylene for greater durability. The steep-sided design allows a nar-

rower stretcher with the same width at the bed which will accept the standard-sized

back boards. A narrow width and rounded ends provide greater maneuverability in tight

locations. Comes with four stretcher straps. Weight 31 lbs. (14 kg)

CMC ProSeries Split-Apart Stainless Steel Rescue StretcherFeaturing StratLoad™ Attachment Points

The ProSeries Split-Apart Rescue Stretcher design is based on a concept developed and proven

by a leading rescue organization. The stretcher “hinges” together at the bottom, and then is

secured by integral threaded collars on the top rail. This design is quick and eliminates the pins

that can be lost or damaged. The stretcher is easy to assemble and just as easy to take apart.

CMC ProTech Rescue StretcherThe CMC ProTech Stretchers are light-duty, disaster response stretchers designed for durability and versatility.

The unique feature of the ProTech Stretchers is the tubular runner rails that run the full length of

the stretcher along the bottom. These provide a very strong and durable base, making it

far more difficult to damage from regular use, as compared to other baskets that

simply use a flat bar. This product represents a very cost-effective alternative to

the more heavy-duty stainless steel models, and will meet the needs of many

users who only use stretchers occasionally, or who are on very limited budgets

for rescue equipment. All models are 7-1/4 in. (18 cm) deep. Durathenenetting. Powder coated steel. Load Rating: 900 lbf. (4 kN). Color: Black.

Traverse Advantage Plastic StretcherThe Traverse Advantage Plastic Stretcher combines a

fully internal stainless steel frame with a high-density,

polyethylene plastic shell that protects the patient and

provides a smooth bottom surface for sliding the stretch-

er. The frame provides a

2,500 lb. strength rating and

fully supports the patient. In

addition, the shell attaches to

the top rail frame, leaving the

second railing for tying in the

patient. The shell has gener-

ous cutouts for carrying the

stretcher and the 7/8-inch

diameter top rail is more comfortable on the hands. A

closed-cell foam patient pad prevents absorption of fluids

and is resistant to the harshest cleaning agents. For

high-angle evacuations, the Advantage has the patented

Str-atLoad Attachment Points for clipping in carabiners

inside the frame rails. Dimensions: 85 x 23.5 x 7.5 in.(216 x 59 x 19 cm) Weight: 31 lbs. (14 kg)Load rating: 2,500 lbf. (11 kN).

Litter Shields | LITTERS & ACCESSORIES 81

CMC Rescue Litter Shield PlusTaller and with a Universal Mounting Bracket

Protect your patient from further trauma during stretcher evacuations and carryouts. A patient in a stretch-

er has a very limited ability to protect their face, head, and neck. Since its inception, the CMC Rescue Litter

Shield has made several “saves” by deflecting falling rocks away from patients’ heads. The shield provides

protection from falling rocks and debris, inclement weather, and brush without compromising access to

and visibility of the patient’s head. The Litter Shield Plus is taller to provide more room for a patient on a

backboard or litter insert, and to help reduce the “closed-in” feeling experienced by some patients. The

mounting bracket eliminates the need for a railing clamp on the stretcher and allows the shield to fit

most stretchers. Molded of thick Lexan®, the Litter Shield offers impact resistance with the clarity and

weather-ability of glass. Patient comfort is increased due to the reduced need for other head and face

protective equipment. Patented. Weight: 6 lbs. (2.7 kg)

CMC Rescue Original Litter ShieldOur Original Litter Shield attaches to a mount on the stretcher rail that allows the shield to pivot and nest

inside the stretcher. A quick release pin allows the shield to be completely removed if necessary. The lower

profile makes storage easier, but does not provide as much clearance for the patient’s face as the Litter

Shield Plus shown above. Patented. Weight: 6 lbs. (2.7 kg) Each shield requires a railing clamp thatmust be ordered separately.

new! Emegear NeXsplint Cervical Splint• Immobilizes in position of comfort• Greater degree of immobilization• Fits a broader range of patient sizes and types• Custom fit during application

Not just a C-collar requiring continuous support by the medic, the NeXsplint is a full cervi-

cal splint, acting as a force multiplier allowing cervical stabilization in difficult to work loca-

tions or when access to the patient is limited. The NeXsplint fits a broad range of patient sizes and

types, eliminating the need for carrying multiple collars to make sure you have the right size. Because

the NeXsplint can be custom fit during application, a minimum amount of patient movement is needed

before the cervical spine is protected. These features make the NeXsplint the ideal choice for confined

space rescue and wilderness rescue where patient access is difficult or personnel to help are not

available. The compact model of the NeXsplint easily fits in most packs and comes vacuum sealed in a

CMC Rescue Vertical-Lift Stretcher HarnessConfined spaces and narrow openings require the stretcher to be rigged with

the patient held vertically in order to fit, and these openings usually end with a

90-degree transition. The Vertical-Lift Harness eases the transition over an

edge when a high anchor point is not available, such as a parapet roof, out a

window, off a tank top, or over a handrail. This reduces the manpower require-

ments, improves patient care and reduces risk. The unique “spreader bar”

allows the stretcher to pivot between the side straps as the head of the

stretcher clears the edge. Constructed of 6,000 lbf., one-inch flat web for high

strength and lightweight. Buckles allow easy adjustment.

improved! CMC Rescue Patient Tie-In SystemFor many years the accepted method for securing a patient in a

stretcher was improvised internal and external lashings using one-

inch tubular web. Not everyone remembers how to do it and often

the finished lashing was either too tight or too loose. Looking for a

quicker and more secure way, the CMC Rescue Patient Tie-In

System was developed after testing a variety of prototypes during

CMC Rescue School classes. The refined product is lighter weight,

quick, secure, and can be easily adjusted to meet the patient’s

requirements for comfort. The pelvic harness part of the system sup-

ports the patient’s weight when the stretcher is placed in a head up

position. The internal lashings are available for a one-piece or two-

piece stretcher. They can be used with the pelvic harness system or for a patient on a backboard. Color-coded web helps keep the system

organized.

NOTE ONKIT CONTENTS


Development of the Rock Exotica Arizona Vortex The Arizona Vortex was developed in the desert mountains of northern Arizona.

Its design was based on expertise gained while working with wooden timber

frame “artificial” high directionals constructed for vertical rescue work. Initial

development work was done during Ropes That Rescue (RTR) Seminars under

the direction of Reed Thorne. The first metal prototype of the Arizona Vortex

was an “easel-style A-Frame” welded together from steel square tubing and

plate. Although heavy and cumbersome, it provided a test bed for proving and

refining the design. The next step was the construction of an aluminum proto-

type. It was tested in four one-week-long RTR rigging seminars before the next

prototype was made. It refined the legs’ adjusting system and introduced the

“Raptor” foot design (named for its claw-like appearance). The shape of the

foot helps direct forces downward into the soft soil often found in mines and

wilderness locations.

Three more years of use in rescue, rigging seminars, and rope access world-

wide allowed Reed Thorne to further refine the design. With the help and exqui-

site craftsmanship of Rock Thompson of ROCK EXOTICA, and input from other

users, the next generation of the Arizona Vortex took shape. It is incredibly ver-

satile and can be rigged as a tripod, a bipod, or monopod.

ARIZONA VORTEX | skills and training96


While tripods are inherently stable undermost conditions, A Frames (bipods) andGin Poles (monopods) are not. Improperrigging will put subjects and rescuers atrisk. A knowledge of advanced riggingand complex guying systems is essentialto safely set up A Frames and Gin Poles.As with all rescue techniques, and particularly where advanced skills are involved,CMC urges professional level training.Training specific to the use of the AZVortex is available from CMC RescueSchool and Ropes That Rescue, Ltd.

• Lighter, smaller head unit is milled from a solid block of high-strength aluminum

• Two-piece Head Set can be used as a tripod, bipod, or monopod (Gin Pole)

• Two independent artificial high directionals can be made from one unit

• Lighter, shorter legs (without any loss of tripod height) are easier to transport

• Ideal for rope access work—much more than just a rescue tripod

configuration and features | ARIZONA VORTEX 97


Arizona Vortex Configurations

Key Benefits:• Color Coding – Top and bottom sections of the legs are colored differently to aid in

assembly. The two parts of the head come in different colors for quick identification.

• Telescoping Legs – The top legs telescope inside the lower legs and slide through the

head to allow adjustment of both the overall height

or the height of a single leg.

• Pulley Mount – A pulley can be mounted

directly into the head, eliminating the

height lost when a carabiner is used as

a connector.

• Head Set Pulley Wheel –

The Arizona Vortex includes a

Head Set Pulley Wheel that

mounts into the head set with

a pin. This allows maximum

height adjustment and eliminates

the need for additional

hardware.

Tripod

Gin Pole

Telescoping Legs

Head Set Pulley Wheel

Bipod

The flexibility of the Arizona Vortex allows for three different configurations to meet

the requirements of a specific rescue.

Tripod – The most stable configuration. The articulating third leg allows the head to

be moved closer to an edge than in a conventional tripod.

Bipod – Has good stability in one direction, but must be securely guyed. It can be

positioned square or sideways to the direction of the load.

Gin Pole – The least stable configuration and needs to be securely guyed. May be

the only choice when there is not room for more than one leg.

The AZ Vortex comes

complete with:

Rock Exotica Arizona Vortex Reflecting the experience of the many users

during Ropes That Rescue Ltd. workshops,

and CMC Rescue School classes, the next

generation of the AZ Vortex provides even

more perfomance-enhancing features. The

two-piece head can be rigged as a standard

tripod, or in advanced applications as an A-

Frame, a sideways A-Frame, or a Gin Pole.

The “easel” leg allows the tripod to be leaned

to form an easel A-Frame with adjustable leg

lengths. With the versatile third leg, the AZ

Vortex lets rescuers set up an artificial high

directional in virtually any urban, industrial, or

wilderness location. The lighter Head Set and

the lighter, more compact legs make the

Vortex easier to transport. On A-Frame and

easel A-Frame applications, at least two pul-

leys can now be attached directly into the

Head Set without carabiners, eliminating lost

headspace and working clearance. This dou-

ble pulley feature makes the Vortex ideal for

use with highlines and tracking line offsets.

The extra attachment points also work well

for rope access where several lines may be

needed over the edge. Two different types of

Vortex feet provide a secure footing on vary-

ing terrain.

The gear needs to be light, dependable, and multifunctional as the technician carries all his access gear plushis working tools. CMC recommends the following equipment for Rope Access Technicians.

Confined space rescue equipment needs to be durable and flexible. Tight spaces require equipment that can with-stand crawling and dragging, and may be exposed to environmental hazards. The following personal equipment isrecommended by CMC as the best option for confined space operations.

Equipment for rescue in an industrial setting frequently has the same requirements as a confined space environment. It shouldbe durable as well as strong and offer the flexibility to be worn for prolonged periods of time. CMC recommends the followingpersonal equipment as the best option for rescuers involved in industrial access or rescue operations.

Protecto Cable Wrap

While teaching Confined Space Rescue we’ve

learned what works and what doesn’t when you’re

pulling communications cable, air lines, and safety

lines. After trying wrap-around covers, zip-on covers,

and just taping the lines together, we discovered

Protecto Cable Wrap. This polyester mesh tubing is

less expensive and less bulky than other alternatives

and it slides around corners and doesn t catch on

obstructions. It slides on easily—no zippers to fail or

hooks and loops to release at the wrong time. The

material won t absorb or hold liquids so it is easier to

maintain and clean. Different colors aid in identifying

lines. It will fit line bundles from 1/2 to 1-1/4 inch in

diameter. Rated to 125˚F. Available in 250 ft. spools.

Skedco Oregon Spine Splint II

See Page 85

Item #752008 HALF-SKED, Orange $173.90

The flotation system for the SKED Stretcher main-

tains the patient in a nearly vertical

position. It is designed so that a

patient in the water can be loaded

into the stretcher. Self-righting, it will

keep the patient’s head above water

even in rough seas. Fits both the full-size and pediatric SKED Stretchers.

The Mass Casualty—Haz-Mat Decontaminable

(HMD) SKED is a variation of the classic SKED

Stretcher design and is intended for ease of use

in mass casualty or hazardous material incidents.

Mass Casualty Incidents: The HMD SKED can be stored

flat on pallets with the straps packaged separately. This allows

quick movement of a large number of stretchers to an incident

with a large number of patients, such as a plane crash or explosion.

Pallets of 50 to 200 HMD stretchers can be moved by truck or airlifted

by helicopter. Efficient tactics facilitate the rapid movement of patients.

Haz-Mat Incidents: Doing anything in Level A and B protective suits is difficult. The HMD SKED allows a

patient or a downed rescuer to be quickly rolled onto the stretcher and pulled out of the hot zone by rescuers

a rope length away. Polypropylene straps are resistant to chemicals and the two-inch side release buckles are

easy to operate even with thick gloves. Color: Yellow. Weight: 12 lbs., 6 oz. (5.6 kg)

SKED Stretcher Flotation System

HMD SKED Stretcher

HALF-SKED Patient DragSkedco developed the HALF-SKED for extri-

cating patients from spaces too tight or

restricted for other stretchers. We think the

HALF-SKED is ideal for tactical teams that

need to secure and rapidly extricate an

injured person. The HALF-SKED allows res-

cuers to bend the patient at the hips in order

to turn corners in caves or confined spaces.

The HALF-SKED uses two-inch wide chest

and leg straps with side-release buckles to

package the patient quickly and securely, par-

ticularly valuable if the patient must be imme-

diately evacuated from a high risk area.

Weight: 6 lbs. (2.7 kg)

SKED stretchers | CONFINED SPACE 111


SKED Stretcher SystemCompact storage, ease of use, and flexibility in means of transport have

made the SKED Stretcher popular with fire departments, rescue squads, the

military, and ski patrols. Made from a heavy sheet of plastic, the stretcher

becomes rigid when folded around your patient. A variety of handles and

straps allows the stretcher to be transported by carrying, lifting (vertically or

horizontally) by rope systems or helicopter, or towed with the stretcher slid-

ing on the smooth bottom surface. System comes complete with the stretcher,

CORDURA® nylon backpack/towing harness, two straps, horizontal lift slings, verti-

cal lift sling, one large steel carabiner, and four removable web handles. Storagebag is 36 inches (91 cm) long by 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter. Systemweight: 18 lbs. (8.2 kg)

CMC ProTech Rigger’s HarnessUL Classified to NFPA 1983 and ANSI Z359.1

CMC Rescue harness designs have long been a favorite of the riggers in the entertainment

industry and the Rigger’s Harness has the features they have requested. These same fea-

tures make it an excellent harness for rope access work of all kinds. Our dorsal D-Ring

design allows the position of the D-Ring to be adjusted for the most comfort. When

loaded, it does not ride up, but stays close to the back for maximum comfort and mini-

mum pressure on the neck. The front waist D-Ring allows a comfortable, stable sitting

position for rappels and the sternum D-Ring can be used for a front-mounted safety line

when climbing towers or other structures. Side D-Rings allow effective work positioning. Dark

colors minimize visibility when working “behind the scenes.” Weight: 4 lbs., 10 oz. (2.1 kg)Attachment Points: Front waist; sternum; dorsal; side waist.

The Work Seat provides additional comfort when you need to spend an extended time

sitting in a harness. The seat attaches to the front D-Ring of the CMC Rescue, ProSeries,

ProTech and CMC/Roco harnesses. Side adjustments allow the wearer to transfer as

much or as little weight from the harness to the seat as desired. As a result, the sitting

position can be varied to minimize pressure points, extending comfortable working time.

The aluminum frame is removable for cleaning. Weight: 2 lbs. (907 g) (Harness sold separately)

improved! CMC Rescue Escape Artist The Most Advanced Escape Descent Control Device Available

UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - Escape

The Escape Artist offers what most other escape devices do not— a hands-

free edge transition and a controllable descent. The Escape Artist pays out

the rope smoothly and then locks when loaded, allowing both hands to

be used to negotiate the exit. Squeezing the lever gives the user con-

trol of the descent rate. Intended for the most extreme conditions, the

Escape Artist’s all-metal construction and minimum number of parts provides

durability and reliable performance. The Escape Artist is intended to be pre-rigged on an escape line,

and kept ready for immediate use. The improved handle is located inside the side plates, reducing

the potential of catching on an edge. It also provides increased mechanical advantage for easier

control, while maintaining all of the high-performance features of the original design.

new! CMC Rescue Double Brake Escape Artist Squeeze Too Hard and the Descent Slows

UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - Escape

Some users were concerned that in a panic situation, a firefighter might squeeze the handle of

their descender and not be able to stop. The unique design of the Double Brake Escape Artist

eliminates that concern. You release the handle to stop, but if you squeeze too hard, the Double

Brake Escape Artist will slow or stop your descent.

• Patented auto-brake allows hands-free edge transitions

• Variable friction allows user to control rate of descent

• Works equally well with or without gloves of any type

• Constructed of aluminum and stainless steel

• Compact and lightweight - only 6.5 oz. (184 g)

• Fits 8 mm escape lines only

The Double Brake Escape Artist has all the other features of the original Escape Artist:

Item #300923 $95.00

Escape Artist | ESCAPE GEAR 121


The choice of a descent control device involves inherent trade offsbased on what is most important to the user. The original singlebrake design of the Escape Artist provides a hands free edge transition and exceptional control on the descent. An important feature isthe ease of paying out rope if the anchor point is some distance fromthe edge. Squeezing the handle fully allows the rope to slide smoothlythrough the device. The trade off is that during a descent the usermust remember to release the handle to slow down. Squeezing thedevice in a panic grip will allow the user to continue to descend.

The Double Brake Escape Artist operates in the same manner: theuser squeezes the handle to control descent and releases the handle

to stop. However, if the descent is too fast and the user panics,squeezing harder on the handle instead of letting up, the Double BrakeEscape Artist will slow the descent. To the best of our knowledge, thisis the only available escape certified descent control device with adouble braking feature. The trade off is that when a user is letting outrope quickly to cross a room, some skill is required to find the free running spot between too little or too much pressure on the handle.

The choice of which model Escape Artist will work best for yourdepartment and personnel depends on its level of training and theprotocols that have been established for emergency escape.

PICKING THE RIGHT ESCAPE ARTIST – SINGLE BRAKE OR DOUBLE BRAKE?

The Escape Artist features:

• Patented auto-locking allows hands-free edge transitions

• Variable friction allows user to control rate of descent

new! Firefighter Retrieval SystemDesigned by a Firefighter to Save Firefighters

Why carry just an escape kit when the Firefighter Retrieval Kit has the tools to accomplish a horizontal

or vertical evacuation of a downed firefighter as well as providing you with a means of escape? The

equipment in this kit can be configured in a variety of ways to assist a downed firefighter even under

dire circumstances. The single pulley allows the rescuer to build a 2:1 mechanical advantage for assis-

tance in dragging an incapacitated firefighter across the floor, especially useful in a low-rise/wide-rise

(big box store construction) building. By rigging the single and double pulleys and connecting to a high

point, a 3:1 mechanical advantage can be built to raise a downed firefighter up and over a window sill

or other obstruction and down to the ground or other area of safe haven. Use the Survivor 8 to lower

yourself or another firefighter to safety. The tough CORDURA® nylon storage bag attaches to an

SCBA or a truck belt and has pockets for storing the hardware. Developed by firefighters and then

field tested in real life applications. Weight: 3.2 lbs (1.5 g).

new! CMC Survivor Cearley RapidIntervention StrapThis multi-purpose strap was developed by Rick Cearley to provide a means of extricating a downed firefighter from a struc-

ture. The strap fits easily in a turnout pocket and quickly secures around the body allowing a partner to drag a fallen firefighter

to safety. The Cearley RIT Strap can also be used as a quick attachment for securing a victim or as a safety belay when a fire-

fighter is working on a roof. Large loops at each end provide easy handling even with structure gloves. Rick Cearley is a

retired senior helicopter pilot for the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Length: 84 in. (2.1 m) Weight: 13 oz. (368 g)

new! NARS Escape AnchorUL Classified to NFPA 1983 – Light Use

The very first step in a successful escape descent is establishing an adequate anchor. The options for a secure anchor must

be discovered on site, vary greatly in type and strength, and often the choices are limited. The NARS Escape Hook provides a

high degree of flexibility allowing a quick and secure solution to the anchor choices. The NARS Escape Hook can be used to

breach walls and anchor into studs while the oval design protects your hand. The point can be hooked over an edge or

behind a solid pipe. A fire tool can be slipped through the opening or the escape line can be tied off to itself or to the hook. Dimensions: 7 1/2 x 6 in. (19 x 15 cm).

improved! CMC Survivor RIT Kits

For many firefighters, the solution to navigation in an unknown structure with poor visibility is a small cord attached at the entrance and deployed as

the firefighter moves through the building. Whether called a RIT line, guideline, or search line, the cord provides a means of retracing your steps to the

entry point or for a Rapid Intervention Team to quickly locate you. With a carabiner on each end, your partner’s line can be attached to yours to extend

the distance. The 50 ft. length works well for residences and small structures. The 150 ft. length is a good choice for larger commercial buildings.

Includes CMC ProSeries RIT Line and two bright orange ProTech Manual Lock Carabiners with keeper pin.

ISH TacticalAccessory PackThe ISH Tactical Accessory Pack is a

multi-purpose leg pack that provides

quick accessibility while main-

taining maximum mobility.

Ish Antonio refined his

design through years of

use in military special opera-

tions under the most adverse conditions. While

is useful for carrying any equipment that needs

quick accessibility such as ordinance disposal

tools or evidence collection. The front thigh-mount

design provides easy access when kneeling.

Velcro closed pockets and rattle-free zippers keep

the contents in the pack whether the user is

jumping, running, or swimming. Unique external

instant if the user must quickly change his posi-

tion. The Tactical Accessory Pack attaches to any

duty belt or harness and keeps your primary

medical gear immediately accessible.

The IntegratedStealth Harness(ISH) SystemIshmael L. Antonio retired from an elite

rescue team known as the USAF

Pararescue. During more than 20 years

of service, Ish was credited with 30

lives saved. He is an experienced

climber who has participated in two Mt.

McKinley expeditions and has done

Yosemite Valley big-wall ascents on El

Capitan and Half Dome. His combat

field experience includes Operation Task

Force Ranger, Somalia, where he treat-

ed victims of a night mortar attack in

Mogadishu and Operation Uphold

Democracy in Haiti, where he was

hand-picked as the primary Combat

Search and Rescue Team leader. Ish

recognized the need for a dependable

tactical harness during a night helicop-

ter FAST rope insertion when the fixed

leg loops of a standard climbing har-

ness he was wearing snagged on part

of the helicopter, causing him to hang

upside down beneath the belly of the

flying helicopter. As a result of this inci-

dent and other recognized deficiencies

in standard climbing harnesses, he

worked with CMC Rescue to develop

and patent the Integrated Stealth

Harness (ISH™) to accommodate the

Special Operations requirements.

tions designed by Ish

Antonio. The ISH mounts

It is critical for air operations rescue equipment to be ergonomically designed so

the operator’s focus can remain on the task at hand and not on operating the

equipment. Harnesses must be easily donned and doffed, straps must be simple

to use, and buckles easy to operate. The equipment also has to meet applicable

performance standards as well as air-worthiness requirements. Whether intended

for rappelling out of a helicopter or attaching a litter to the hoist cable, CMC air

rescue products are designed and manufactured without compromise, and with

the operator in mind.

AIR RESCUE OPERATIONS

AIR OPERATIONS | haul lines & tagline sets130


CMC has revolutionized the realm of short haul operations

with the CMC Short Haul Line. Its synthetic fibers deliver an

unbeatable “strength to weight” ratio. Unlike metallic cables,

the Short Haul line is non-conductive and can be stuffed and

stored in a rope bag without risk of kinking or otherwise

damaging the rope. These characteristics, combined with

low volume storage, a high visibility sheath, and extremely

low stretch (less than 0.5% at 600 lbs); make the CMC

Short Haul Line ideal for all types of short haul operations.

The line comes complete with 1.5 inch diameter stainless

steel thimbles spliced at both ends and is compliant with

Department of Interior Standard 351 DM 1. Custom lengths

are available by special order. Provision available for aircraft

equipped with dual hook systems. Contact our sales depart-

ment for additional details

crews to operate in medium and large size air-

craft while maintaining travel restraint. The

adjustable strap features an auto-locking cara-

biner on both ends which can be operated with

one hand. In addition to facilitating the needs of

Flight Medics and Crew Chiefs, the ATR Strap is

also ideal for external loads making the transi-

tion from a hoist hook into the aft cabin. The

A throwline bag is the safest way to rescue a subject in fast moving or stillwater. It also provides a downstreamsafety backup when rescuers must enterthe water. We recommend 50 footlengths for rafts and boats. River rescuepersonnel should use 50 or 75 footlengths, which is about as far as a bagcan be thrown. The 100 foot length isgood when throwing from a bridge orhigh bank. Throwbags should be kept inpatrol cars, ambulances, and otheremergency response vehicles.

the throwline over your shoulder and stuff the bag while you are standing up. A wider mouth provides more room for

your hand, increasing efficiency when re-filling. The bag features CMC’s trademark side grommet that provides a flat

bottom keeping the bag from tipping over while feeding the rope. The handle makes for accurate throwing and the

side-release buckle allows the bag to be attached to a boat, belt, or PFD. Safety-Glo reflective material glows in the

dark. Our innovative design allows the bag to float without the need for a foam disk in the bottom. Holds up to 75 ft.of CMC Rescue NFPA Throwline, 50-ft. of CMC SRT Throwline, or 45-ft. of Redi-Line. Color: Yellow.

WATER RESCUE | River Rescue Boards138


The Cinch Rescue Collar allows a victim to enter the collar from

either side. When loaded, the victim’s weight releases the con-

nector, allowing the collar to “cinch” around the victim.

Used for many years by helicopter crews in

swiftwater or bluewater rescues, the Cinch

Rescue Collar can also be deployed from

land or watercraft. As a flotation device,

the Cinch can be used as a life ring

buoy with the added capability of grip-

ping the victim. Carrying case includ-ed. Inside diameter when open is 20

in. (51 cm). Color: Yellow. Weight: 3.5lbs (1.6 kg).

WATER RESCUE | ResQMax140


ResQmax™

Streamline SystemsRescue Solutions has engineered a major upgrade in the ResQmax

Projectiles, making them easier to fill and more durable during use.

The new filler hose assembly features a quick connect fitting for the

projectile and the hose/air bottle connector. The hose/air bottle con-

nector is available for SCBA, SCUBA, and DIN type fittings and con-

nectors can be quickly changed with the quick connect fitting to the

filler hose.

The new nozzle assembly has a quick connect fitting that just

snaps into the nozzle. The new nozzle protectors are glass-

filled nylon and less likely to dent and easier to replace

when needed. The systems opperate at 3,000 psi, which

requires a high-pressure tank to fill the projectile.

The Streamline Projectiles may only be used with the Streamline filler hose assembly – NOT with the original ResQmax assembly.

For a conversion kit to upgrade your current system, see page 141.

CMC ProSeries SRT HarnessUL Classified to NFPA 1983 – Class III

Designed in cooperation with a large Southern California fire department’s aviation unit and USAR teams to meet their

requirements for an ergonomic rescue swimmer harness, the ProSeries SRT Harness combines vertical lift capability

while being worn underneath a PFD. Extensive field testing by Swiftwater Rescue Technicians, USAR Specialists, and

lifeguards resulted in this unique harness design with the following features:

• Y-shape shoulder straps allow freedom of movement for swimming.

• Sternum extension tether positions a carabiner where it’s needed for quick, positive, dynamic hook ups.

• Unique wraparound chest strap provides additional support to help keep the harness from interfering with PFD’s.

• Non-padded leg loops allow greater freedom ofmovement for kicking, but are comfortable duringhoists or short-hauls.

The harness includes a front waist D-Ring for

rappels and a rear waist D-Ring for travel

restraint inside a helicopter. The harness

is manufactured using polyester web to

minimize strength loss when wet and to

allow for quicker drying. Stainless steel

and vinyl coated hardware reduces cor-

rosion from frequent exposure to water.

RESCUE

Please Read These Important WarningsMany of the activities for which CMC Rescue products are used pose a very

substantial risk of serious injury or death. Be certain you carefully review all of

the following information.

Products manufactured and sold by CMC Rescue, Inc. are intended for use by

professionals trained and experienced in the use, inspection, and maintenance of

these products. All individuals using CMC products must have the same profes-

sional level of skill.

Technical rescue, rappelling, climbing, and the training involved are very haz-

ardous activities. Each situation has its own unique conditions and must be eval-

uated by those present. Effective risk management comes from experience,

proper training, and good personal judgment.

LIMITS OF LIABILITY: CMC is not liable for any damages arising from abuse

or improper use of the equipment, failure to follow adequate safety precautions,

or breach of the duty of either the purchaser or user. Adequate training and

judgment are needed to reduce the risks inherent in the use of this equipment.

Since these risks are out of the control of CMC, the liability shifts to the user and

purchaser.

DUTY OF PURCHASER AND USER: It is the responsibility of the purchaser and

the user of products manufactured by CMC Rescue, Inc. to:

• Read the product instructions and labels and follow them. If you do not have

a copy of the instructions request a copy from CMC Rescue, Inc.,

P. O. Box 6870, Santa Barbara, CA 93160-6870.

• Inspect the product immediately after purchase and before and after each

use. Read the note on inspection below.

• Receive training in the proper use of the equipment and in the appropriate

techniques. Proper training includes safety procedures, limitations of the

equipment, inspection of equipment, and risk management. If you are not

competent in the use of the product, do not use it. See the note on

training below.

• Determine if the product is suitable for its intended use and that it meets all

applicable standards and regulations. The manufacturer can provide assis-

tance, but cannot be expected to be knowledgeable of all worldwide stan-

dards and regulations.

• Use good judgment and do not exceed the limitations of the user's skill or of

the equipment.

• Use adequate safety precautions including belays and backup systems.

Practice risk management at all times.

• Do not alter the product in any way. Repairs must be done only according to

the manufacturer's instructions or returned to the manufacturer for repair.

• If the purchaser is not the user of the product, the purchaser must provide

each user with a copy of this notice and the product instructions. If additional

copies of this notice, or the product instructions are needed, they can be

obtained from CMC.

INSPECTION: Each department involved in rescue operations is expected to

have a policy for inspecting high-angle life-support equipment. Inspection should

be no less than after each use and inspections must be done by personnel that

meet the department's training standard for inspecting life-support equipment.

Inspection dates should be recorded on a tag attached to the equipment or in

the equipment log. Each user should be trained in equipment inspection and

should do a cursory inspection before each use.

TRAINING: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the user is

adequately and competently trained in the use of the product. Training is avail-

able from several sources, including the CMC Rescue School (see catalog pages

8–11 for school information). The publications section of this catalog also

includes a variety of reference guides to assist in the proper selection and use of

the products.
