EVO 28,29,30 Single Slide

Question 1

T or F.

The single slide shall not be used to make a rescue pick-up.

Answer 1

True.

Question 2

EVO 28 SS

when performing the single slide, sufficient rope is taken from where to tie the substantial object knot?

Answer 2

From between the bowline-on-a-bight and the anti-chafing device.

Question 3

EVO 28 SS
How do we maintain the position of the anti-chafing device on the parapet or roof edge when performing the single slide?

Answer 3

Place the heel of the left hand on the device.

Question 4

EVO 28 SS
How far do we slide the right hand back from the hook when dismounting from a parapet doing the SS? Where is it placed then when we dismount?

Answer 4

6 inches. When going over the parapet the right arm is held rigid and the right fist is held firmly against the wall. When going over a roof edge the right fist with the rope is held against the hip and you push off with the left hand. A drop of 1 1/2 ft is to be expected!

Question 5

EVO 29 SS

When using the triple action gate in the SS or LSR operation, how do we unlock the gate?

Answer 5

Pull down the gate with left hand and take a quarter turn to the left.

Question 6

EVO 30 SS w/ PH

When using the PH for a single slide, do we have to take out the bowline on a bight?

Answer 6

No. This only done when being lowered by another member, not for SS.
