3 TRAINING TIPS: Relocating a Collapsed Car Roof Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 A Car has rolled over and the roof is crushed. The Driver is Trapped. What do you Do? Figure1: Driver s Door is removed with the Spreader for eventual egress of the Driver Figure 2: From the Passenger Side, we place the Ram on the Transmission Hump behind the Driver (see Figure 3 Notes below if there is no Transmission Hump). Figure 3: Carefully, we push the Roof up with the Ram. We are careful not to puncture the Transmission Hump. If there is no Transmission Hump, we may place 1 X 8 X 12 Wood Flat Board under the Ram so we don t puncture the floor (do not put blocks or 4x4s between the Ram and the Floor as these blocks can greatly reduce the stability of the Ram). Figure 4: With the Roof relocated, we can now focus on the Driver. We can likely remove the Ram and create more space to work on the Driver (before you categorically remove the Ram, slowly feather the Ram downward to ensure that the Roof stays elevated. Usually because of all the bends already created, the Roof is typically strengthened and likely well-reinforced to stay put. - Chris Christie & Jason Defosse Rapid Response Extrication Course - 1 & 2 Day Advanced Courses 3 Code4_ONSUMMER18_LAZ.indd 3
