If simultaneous lower is possible:
- Prep hips by unwrapping hip line to 3:1, then adding munter, then securing with locked quick release
- Prep chest by unwrapping to 3:1; add munter only if needed for control
- Holding chest line in one hand, use other hand to release hips; lower both
If simultaneous lower is not possible:
- If head above body, first lower chest to horizontal
- If still unconscious, lower everything except chest, then chest
If a horizontal position does not cause them to come around, diagnosis is unclear; thus speed trumps comforts!
The ability to reach the ground in this situation is why not using short support lines, or leftover rope for support lines, is crucial!
