About 18 members of RARO met with the Youthtown Rescue Helicopter team at Whakapapa on the 5th May 2012 for training with the new Human Sling load system. This strop consists of a two point attachment at the helicopter and allows for emergency release of a belly band by the crew person in the machine. The strop itself is a single low stretch rope which is bright orange and very easy to see and use. All in all, we are very pleased to have access to this great resource again! Thanks to the Youthtown Rescue Helicopter crew for making the day run smoothly.
