Slide in Boulder

[Slamnek]

I heard of a small slide in Boulder that buried a guy but he was dug out and revived by CPR and I guess he rode back down. Anyone have more info on that?

If a guy was revived I doubt he would be in any shape to ride out If it was done correct there would be some broken ribs MINIMUM. Heard it wasn't good expecting to hear the worst .....snow is on ball bearings folks stuff that is usually safe isint, were talking low angle slopes

Just took a first aid course a month and a half ago. The instructor had us do CPR extensively and never mentioned that we should expect to break people's ribs doing it? Where did you hear this?

"UPDATE: Shortly after this story was first posted, Grabinsky e-mailed to say that all involved snowmobilers were on their way off Boulder Mountain and that there were no serious injuries."

Friend of mine is a paramedic, has said to do it right broken ribs are an unfortunate side effect Sometimes

And most times CPR is performed by a civilian it is on an elderly family member who have weak bones. I know first hand.

That is fair Pano. Depending on the size of the subject and how much force is put on the victim I can see it happening. But "minimum" damage guaranteed seems a bit extreme? Anyway back to thread.

Revelstoke times is reporting it being at turbo again.... Like seriously guys, SPAW is out, major event cancelled, tons of info everywhere about how bad the snow is.... Let's giver on the biggest hill in town, sometimes we are our own worst enemy

 

[snopro]

Used to eat our lunch at the bottom of turbo all the time and watch the chit show. Don't go anywhere near it now unless we are passing through to the golf course. Funny that 2 weeks after the big one in 2010 there were guys climbing on it again. Yes we are our own worst enemies for sure.

We were the second group back there and the hill had slid naturally already, but didn't even consider climbing it. I don't get why people like to play with fire it's not worth it. We went to the top of monster bowl and you could here the cracking of the snow, just an eerie feeling thinking bout it if you were at the bottom of the bowl. Hope everyone rides safe and thinks twice before climbing hills.

Looking more and more like a smart move by Yamaha to cancel Yamafest this weekend if conditions are that bad.

I understand this is a bad year for snowpack but does anyone else find late season riding a little more spooky than the dec/jan riding. The snow just seems easier to evaluate and there is less of it. I wish there was more and better and material for av training on the interweb. Print and vid.

At least nobody was hurt and a few probably learned a valuable lesson that day and will hopefully pass this knowledge on to all their riding buddies. On a side note, I have taken 8 CPR courses over the years and have always been told in everyone of them to expect broken ribs on a casualty while performing CPR correctly on any victim. Minimum damage will be separated cartilage of the ribs. I also have seen this first hand. (Unfortunately) . Don't let the sound and feeling deter you from chest compressions.

Almost 10 years of fire and emergency response experience when doing CPR on a full grown adult your elbows should be locked (or u won't be doing compressions deep enough trust me) and a MINIMUM of 2" deep compressions on a fully grown male adult you should be closer to 3". The goal is to manually pump the victims heart and having done CPR let me tell u it's hard work and u want to pushing hard don't be shy broken ribs is a easy price to pay vs not coming back

look down at your chest now even at a minimum of 2" compression and. 200lb guy goin at it for 10-15 mins do u think u would be fine ?

I'm glad the boys made it home safe and that this subject got brought up don't be shy boys and girls if one of u ever breaks my ribs in this scenario I would still be grateful to you for the rest of my life.

No harm no foul Dez. Was not told that during our course. Talked to a few in the know and yes it is a definate possibility during CPR. Cheers!

When i took my First Aid/CPR for when i was on the rigs first thing they said is usually the first or second compression results in broken ribs. So you might hear a pop or crack.

Yeah, beside turbo.

Seen another slide go off yesterday as we were coming into sugar bowl, guy was climbing out of bullpen to the right of the bull pen shoots out of the ravine and set a good size slab off, some guys are really pushing there luck. It's not worth it me, there's always next year to try a hill instead of it possibly being your last hill climb.
