Yes, rescue air bags have been in use for at least 20 years. Still need to use cribbing as anything can happen. Need something solid under the frame near the lift point.

I used to be a firefighter/paramedic quite a few years ago. It sucks when things go wrong but it looked like that could have been prevented. Doesn't mean the kid would have lived but it would have saved the city from a major lawsuit.

It’s just short of a miracle one or more of the rescue personnel weren’t injured in that mishap.
