PELVIC FRACTURE SPLINT | HOW TO XV
Unfortunately in skiing and snowboarding a pelvic fracture is quite possible; crashing over rocks or hitting a tree stump and this injury can be life-threatening. The good news is, it is also very easy to manage until the rescue arrives, so definitely one that is worth knowing.
So in this episode of How To we are back with expedition medic Dr. Lucy Obolensky, who takes us through the steps, what to look for, how to treat it - first with a pelvic sling, but then improvising with gear that you will have in your pack and how to manage it whilst waiting for the emergency services.
As always, I recommend attending an outdoor first aid course, the more safety cards you have up your sleeve the b...

    Your content, energy and passion you bring with the video’s is so great. Really enjoy ‘m! So thanks 🤘🏼🏂 Little extra detail for the hypothermia part - a game changer though - is to also wrap the vics head in the blanket!!! Even when wearing a helmet (with vent grooves). (When waiting long, especially with any kind of bleeding, hypothermia might very well be the biggest concern after stopping the bleeding.)

    Good way to have basic skills is to just go few times cross country skiing or using gliding snowshoes. Basically the same thing in the flat and if you need to turn etc.

  • @zakaroonetwork777
    @zakaroonetwork777 4 месяца назад

    Shouldn't you switch sides so the Radius Edges is on the outside where it will be more effective in a carving turn.

    • @HOWTOXV
      @HOWTOXV Месяц назад

      Not sure I will have much carving going on! - But the main reason to switch the "skis" is to ensure that your "buckles" are on the outside and they don't catch, that way when you are splitboarding up(or skiing down!) you don't accidentally undo your bindings. Xv

    @william2496 4 месяца назад

    Cornices, crevasses, tree wells, roots, terrain traps (avalanches), snow packs (avalanches) are always on my radar to check before hand with maps, binoculars or a drone for safety (unless I walk up by and see the line in plain sight) amongst generic things like rocks, gradient or weather.

    Hello. I have a question. Wouldn't it be better to secure the pulley with a knot instead of maintaining the tension with t-block? I mean if either the anchor or the pulley fails you will be pulled suddenly backwards. Thank you

    I’m surprised more splitboarders don’t embrace the tele turn, and use fishscale bases. You really don’t need skins in most situations. I’m tempted to turn some fat tele fishscale boards into a “snowboard” with voile plates, using 75mm plastic boots, and a voile 3pin binding for the ascent.
