Welcome to the ATS Canyoneering Rescue School for Professional Rescuers. |
Canyoneering accidents can pose a serious risk to rescuers. Combine swift cold water rescue, with vertical cliff top rescue, with confined space, then add in near zero visibility from the air and loose hazardous earth slopes above the scene and you have created all the elements found in a common canyon rescue. Teams that are unprepared identify and manage all of these risks will face greater and prolonged exposure as will the patients. ATS has created the most comprehensive canyoneering rescue awareness and training program in the industry aimed at informing and training professional rescuers. Programs are available year-round anywhere. |
"It is so positive for rescuers to expose themselves to this curriculum as it takes standard rope systems that would normally not mix such as swiftwater and vertical rope rescue and combines them thoughtfully." -SAR member "When ATS asked our training sergeant how our team would go about moving a loaded litter basket down a narrow canyon way to an airlift point over waterfalls and in moving water without drowning the patient or creating a hazard for the attendant we really didn't have an answer. The training program covered that along with other unique situations we had never even thought could be an issue." -Training Sergeant for a SAR Team |
