Medical Chopper Crash

Glad to hear you're OK Dave...I immediately thought of you when I heard the "breaking news" on the TV yesterday afternoon.

Speaking of the floor jack incident, I learned my lesson early in my adult life. I used to occasionally get under a car which was supported only by a raised floor jack. Then one day when I was jacking a car up to do an oil change, the car came crashing down when a weld broke on the floor jack and it failed. That was the last time I got under a car without stands supporting it!

"This job sure makes me take a second look at whatever I am doing."

The last 4 out of 5 fatal accidents I worked on were caused by cell phones and/or lap tops. I have completely changed my tune regarding driving and talking on the phone let alone texting.

Rick, you guys have to make it more realistic. We never get anybody as lite as Annie. Seems they all weigh 350+. (big smile)

The MediVac flight nurse said their patient weight limit was around 350 pounds. I would LOVE to see them get a 350 lbd'r in there!!!! It was tight for Ann with what I thought was literally NO room left over. As far as getting a more realistic patient, Ann was the only volunteer as they really mess you up with makeup. All for a good cause.
