If the air bags did not activate, there is a danger that the bags could deploy while the rescuer is working in the car. Any stories from EMTs about this? MDT described a device which would contain the airbag and protect the technician in case it deployed while working in the car. Perhaps eager volunteers should be advised. The training/advice I received while working in the OR was basically that the untrained volunteer rescuer is at risk for personal injury lawsuits - unless they have current proof of training, such as CPR certificates. This only applied to injuries resulting CPR - not moving someone with a broken neck inappropriately. > > > I like the USCOT acronym, by the way ;) > > Dave Hinz > ff/emt
