| The DRK Mountain Rescue Württemberg shows a cross-section of the rope technique of the mountain rescue. It demonstrates the rescue of an injured person from vertical terrain with standardized mountain rescue equipment, e.g. ascent on a standing rope (such as for a tree rescue/salvage), support or lowering with the support of a turntable ladder, hoisting and lowering with static rope and conversion to a rope slide during descent. |
Everybody uses them, many install them: expansion and glue in bolts!
But only few are aware of the physical and chemical connections which are the basis for a safe fixed point on a sport climbing crag. Bolting expert Gerhard Schaar from bolting.eu explains important basics for everyone, who wants to work „best practice“ when installing fixed points.
Speaker: Gerhard Schaar, bolting.eu
We would like to approach the questions of standards and the meaning of a qualification certificate issued by an external certification body from the direction of common sense and simplification for employers and employees.

Most of the textile fasteners of the PSAgA are marked with a minimum breaking strength of over 20 kN and are therefore also certified. But how do external influences such as solar radiation or even direct contact with chemicals affect the strength of textiles? Certain techniques (knots) can also extremely reduce the strength. In a live demonstration, the Petzl company will first test some classic anchor knots, and the strength of webbing slings will also be examined.
Do you have old, used or extremely (over)stressed PPE? After the specified tests, there is the possibility to check the residual strength of the climbing equipment you have brought with you - as far as it can be installed in the Crashbox.

Only development that is permanently ecologically compatible, socially fair and economically efficient is sustainable development that meets the needs of the present generation without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Speaker: Angela Imdahl, Imdahl Institut
Dying trees in adventure parks, ropes courses between dead trunks - for climbing forest operators, this nightmare has unfortunately become reality far too often. What leads to the death of formerly healthy trees? What risks does this pose for ropes course operations? How long are dead trees still suitable for a supporting structure, and does this affect the required inspections? Using tree-biological, mycological and biomechanical backgrounds, the first answers to such questions will be shown.
Speaker: Adreas Detter (Brudi & Partner PartGG TreeConsult, tree experts)
In the context of risk management, the correct classification of incidents is an important instrument for prevention and minimization. Dealing with actual loss events also requires organizational pre-planning and concrete courses of action in the event of an incident. The lecture is intended to provide assistance and practical advice here.
Speaker: Hans Herbert Bock, HHB Insurance Broker
Fortunately, not many accidents happen in organised work at height. The few that do happen are evaluated very intensively and the results are used to analyse and derive preventive measures. The latest findings on accidents are presented via dashboards and similar tools, and rules of conduct are drawn up in cooperation with the rope access technicians.

To work with injection mortar and glas-mortar capsules, when you install glue in bolts and via ferrata anchirs, seems to be an easy task. Drill a hole, clean it, fill it with mortar, stick the fixed point in, finished! In his speech bolting expert Gerhard Schaar from bolting.eu explains, why you should think twice and be aware of the basics in the background.

DIN EN 15567 - Ropes courses refers to permanent and mobile low ropes courses and high ropes courses. The standard applies to ropes courses whose supporting structure consists of wooden posts or trees, and equally to adventure ropes courses and ropes courses for adventure education. The standard is therefore applied to a wide variety of structures and concepts. In addition, some of the requirements of the standard cannot be fulfilled technically. In the lecture, examples will be used to explain how this can be dealt with.

In order to achieve the common goal of organising safe and economical work at heights, clients, planners, architects, civil engineers and other disciplines must plan in an interdisciplinary manner and thus create the conditions for accident-free work at heights. This coordination is often delegated into the hands of those with the least ability to prevent hazards.
If all those involved in the process would dedicate themselves to this issue, processes could run much more smoothly and safely.
