Under-rides happen more often than you think. When was the last time you trained on a vehicle that was pinned under a trailer with an occupant trapped?
Extrications that involve passenger vehicles and heavy trucks requires more situational awareness. First off, the scene size up must include the trailer and the load. Is the load still stable in the trailer?
Once the trailer is stabilized than the set up for the lift can begin.
Capture the suspension of the vehicle pinned under the trailer.
Lift the trailer.
Pull the vehicle out from under the trailer.
Once the vehicle is clear of the trailer, extricate the patient.
