Are you into lifting weights? Then picking up a 200 pound person is no problem right?, But what if this person was unconscious? Now we’re talking dead weight which is totally different. Due to the awkward distribution of weight and flexible nature of the human body, it's nothing like dead lifting barbells in a gym.
There have been methods that was developed to rectify this challenge. However, none have come close to being effective as this Ranger Roll method by Wil Willis.
Wil Willis is a former Ranger and Pararescue specialized in tactical trauma emergency care. Wil came up with this quick method which uses momentum to roll the body onto his shoulders.
You can see the instruction here and some bad ass skills. Though the video is 7 minutes long, it is quite informative for an EMT trauma specialist that has to move a body quickly.
The downside to this method maybe that the person needs to be in average to good conditioning. The skill does require some practice to fully understand using momentum combine with good body technique. See the Ranger Roll footage here
Thanks so much. He’s with the 1st Battalion Logistics Group at Pendleton.
Thank you. He’s doing what he wants to do, asked that’s okay by me. I’m very proud of him.
