6. Demonstrate the hinge technique for

rope rescue studied in this lesson. The
g
height should be no g greater than 3.6
meters (12 feet).

Do not move fixed elements that can alter the stability of the structure. If in
doubt, consult with a USAR trained structural engineer. Only USAR
structural engineers understand USAR operations
