VERTICAL EVACUATION OF TESSIER
®
SITSKIS
Thanks to the different tests realized, a unique evacuation procedure for all sitski equipment
homologated in France has been defined. It is approved by the French
Approval commission presided by the STRMTG.
Two anchor straps of 1m50 (example: anchor strap PETZL C40-150 or
anchor strap BEAL BASIC 18mm length 150cm) are necessary.
The first strap will put behind the backrest of the sitski and under the seated skier’s arms.
The second will be put under the frame at the level of the skier’s knees, passing in a part of
the frame which will keep the strap from sliding backward.
Both straps will join in one hanging point where will come the karabiner of the rope
used for the evacuation.
The evacuation triangle, usually used to evacuate people, can be then used to
secure the accompanying person of the seated skier who can be active during
the evacuation, also when the safety rail is open.
It is indispensable to secure the accompanying person before opening the
safety rail.
In France, as in many European countries, the equipment used for evacuation are property
of the ski patrols.
So skiers and first-aid workers have the guarantee to use equipment in perfect shape (stored
in a bag to be protected from exterior aggressions, checked every year, with a defined
lifetime and replaced when necessary).
