FEATURED NEW PRODUCTS4
CMCProSeriesAluminum Key-LockCarabinersMatching high performance with minimum
weight, CMC ProSeries carabiners are the
only aluminum carabiners that meet the
NFPA strength requirements for General
Use. The new key-lock design eliminates
snagging and a re-designed gate provides
a full 1.1-inch. opening.
See Page 31
SureClip™
Here’s an essential tool for tower rescue, rope
access work, and non-entry confined space
rescue. It extends the rescuer’s reach to place a
high anchor for a fixed line or belay, or it can be
used to connect a carabiner to a downed sub-
ject’s harness without entering a confined space.
See Page 117
Confined SpaceEntry andRescue Manual SECOND EDITION
In a newly expanded and updated second edition, the
CMC Confined Space Entry & Rescue Training
Manual is the textbook for confined space rescue
courses taught by the CMC Rescue School, the offi-
cial textbook for California State Fire Marshal certified
confined space rescue courses, and the training
manual of choice for fire departments and industrial
rescue teams nationwide.
See Page 151
CMC ProTechAccess PulleyDesigned to work with 11 mm ropes, the Access
Pulley is ideal for industrial applications as well as
many rescue operations. The proprietary locking
system does not rely on a toothed cam and can
easily be unlocked while under load. The integral
swivel reduces torque by aligning the pulley with
the load, increasing efficiency and safety.
See Page 36
CMC ProTech Oval CarabinersThe ProTech Oval is a non-locking carabiner that features the key-lock
design for snag-free operation and a side-swing gate for maximum
gate opening. The oval design places equal force on the spine and
gate, allowing the carabiner to maintain full rated strength regardless
of the width of the web or rope clipped into it.

CMC ProTechBiWire CarabinersWire gate carabiners are popular in the climbing world
because of their light weight and high strength. CMC’s
BiWire adds a new dimension to the concept by creating
what is effectively a locking wire-gate carabiner. This patent-
pending design features an outer gate which protects the
inner gate and prevents rope or hardware from opening it.
Two distinct and opposite actions are required to open
the gate. Even though the wires look thin, the BiWire’s
minor axis strength is comparable to a conventional
gated carabiner.
See Page 30
NRS RapidRescuer PFD
This “live bait” PFD has all those extra
features that are useful to a swiftwater
rescue technician The large front pockets
stretch to hold carabiners, web, a GPS or
a radio. Besides the standard lash
tabs for a knife, there is a ring for
a whistle and a lash tab on
the right side to attach the
carabiner on a tether. The back
has an attachment point for a
glow stick and a lash tab for
a strobe. The shell is tough
500-denier CORDURA® nylon
and carries plenty of reflec-
tive striping on both sides.
See Page 143
CMC RescueSwivel DoublePulleysWith a rotating swivel to align rope with
the direction of pull, this pulley
is ideal for high anchor points or tripods.
Combining the swivel with
the pulley minimizes overall length,
and the proprietary pivoting side plate
allows rope that is connected to the
anchor to be inserted.
See Page 34
CMC ProTech Key-Lock
CarabinersHere’s the ideal Light Use carabiner for rescue
and rope access. The new key-lock design
won’t hang up when unclipping from a har-
ness or web. The wide gate opening fits over
1 in. diameter railings—unusual for a cara-
biner this compact and light.
See Page 30 CMC Rescue MPD™
PULLEY • RESCUE BELAY • DESCENDER
Developed over seven years of research and testing, the MPD is a major advance
in technical hardware for professional rope rescuers. It is a Multi-Purpose Device
that performs all functions for main lines, belay/safety lines, tag lines, and hoisting
lines. The MPD can be used to tension high lines and guiding lines. Training
and on-scene rigging are greatly simplified by using a single device.
Changeovers from a lowering system to a raising system becomes faster and
safer by eliminating the need to switch out and replace hardware.

Princeton Tec EOS IIIntrinsically Safe HeadlampWith its Class I, Division 1 rating, the EOS II Headlamp is the safest choice
when working in hazardous environments. The single Maxbright Rebel LED
puts out an incredible 50 lumens and has a running burn time of up to
60 hours. Waterproof to one meter, it’s also an excellent choice when
swimming rivers or working in
other environments.
See Page 74
CMC ProTech Roof AnchorThe Roof Anchor quickly provides a secure anchor point for roof
operations. Set it on the roof and hammer the 1/2-inch (12 mm)
diameter spike into the surface. When not in use, the spike
folds into the anchor for safe storage and transport.
See Page 43 NARS EscapeAnchorThe NARS Escape Hook gives users a high degree of flexi-
bility, providing a quick solution to the problem of finding a
secure anchor for a successful escape. It can be used to
breach walls and anchor into studs while the oval design
protects the hand. The point can be hooked over an edge
or behind a solid pipe.
See Page 122
CMC Rescue Personal Gear BagHere’s the perfect gear bag for your harness, helmet, goggles
and Pro Pocket. When you’re wearing your gear, you can pull
out the hide-away shoulder straps to turn the bag into a
backpack. It has side pockets for gloves and other small
items, and luggage-style handles on the top and end.
See Page 64
Princeton TecApex-Pro™The Apex-Pro uses two CR123 lithium batteries and
Princeton Tec’s proprietary optics (which increase
performance by over 30%) for incredible brightness
with minimum weight. The high-output, 3-Rebel
LED provides a powerful spot light, or select the
array of four high-intensity ultrabright LEDs (five
times brighter than standard LEDs) for wide area
illumination and a longer running time.
See Page 75
EmegearNeXsplintCervical SplintNot just a C-collar requiring continuous
support by the medic, this is a full cervical
splint. It acts as a force multiplier, allowing
cervical stabilization in difficult-to-work
locations or when access to the patient is
limited. The NeXsplint fits a broad range of
patient sizes and types, eliminating the need
for carrying multiple collars to make sure
you have the right size.

CMC Survivor Escape Artist Systems
A successful emergency egress requires a secure anchor, fast deployment,
hands free for a safe edge transition, and a controllable descent.
We’ve refined our emergency egress products to better meet these
needs. Our top-of-the-line Escape Kit features fire and
temperature resistant components and a new Double Brake
Escape Artist descent control device. It also includes the light
weight and verastile NARS Escape Anchor. Our lower cost
Escape System does not sacrifice performance.
It includes a CMC Survivor 8, CMC Rescue Escape Line, a
tough CORDURA® nylon Escape Bag, and our new
ProTech Key-Lock Carabiner for anchoring the line.
See Page 123
CMC RescueDouble BrakeEscape Artist THE MOST ADVANCED DESCENT CONTROL DEVICE AVAILABLE
Some users were concerned that in a
panic situation, a firefighter might
squeeze the handle of their descender
and not be able to stop. The unique
design of the Double Brake Escape
Artist eliminates that concern.
You release the handle to stop,
but if you squeeze too hard, the
Double Brake Escape Artist will
slow or stop your descent.
See Page 121
Firefighter Retrieval System
The Firefighter Retrieval Kit has the tools to accomplish a horizontal or
vertical evacuation of a downed firefighter as well as providing you with a
means of escape. The single pulley allows the rescuer to build a 2:1
mechanical advantage for assistance in dragging an incapacitated
firefighter across the floor. By rigging the single and double pulleys and
connecting to a high point, a 3:1 mechanical advantage can be built to
raise a downed firefighter up and over a window sill or other obstruction
and down to a safe haven. You can also use the Survivor 8 to lower
yourself or another firefighter to safety.
See Page 122
CMC Survivor Escape HarnessThis harness is designed to be worn during fire ground operations. Made of KEVLAR® fiber web for
high heat and flame resistance, it can be worn over bunker pants without compromising firefighter
safety. The extended D-ring attachment point makes connecting to the D-ring easy even under a
turnout coat. The D-ring folds down for greater comfort during normal wear.

Certification Application
The service life of a rescue harness is closely related to that of a rescue
rope—both are used in the same environments, both are made from nylon
or polyester, and both receive similar levels of inspection and care. Since
harnesses are worn on the body, they are generally better protected than
ropes. However, harnesses rely on stitching to hold them together, and
because of thread’s small diameter, it can be more susceptible to abrasion,
aging, and chemical damage than web or rope.
Industry standards range from as little as a 2-year service life for fall pro-
tection and sport climbing harnesses to a 10-year maximum service life
for kernmantle rescue ropes. This suggests a 10-year maximum shelf life
for harnesses, with a shorter service life based on frequency of use. If
there is any doubt about the safety of the harness, it should be removed
from service.
When to Retire a Rescue Harness

When rappelling or stretcher tending, rescuers are usually already at the ‘end of the
rope’ and are not likely to fall. Working near the edge has a potential for a fall, but
fortunately falls of the severity simulated in the standards happen very seldom. This
is particularly true with the NFPA 1983 requirement that after a head-up fall, the
harness is subjected to a second, head-down fall. The static test loads the attach-
ment points on the harness to more than 10 times the weight of a rescuer. Not only
is the test conducted in the normal head-up position, but also in a head-down posi-
tion, requiring the harness to demonstrate its strength no matter which direction the
rescuer moves.
A rescue harness is tested to measure its performance as a finished product. The
severity of the tests provide excellent assurance that the harness will perform
exceptionally well under normal use. What is very difficult to write into the standard
is the human factor—the ease of donning and comfort. Through our own experi-
ences with CMC harnesses and feedback from our customers, we pay attention to
donning and comfort, as well as building strength into our harness designs.

Positioning attachment point requirements are 2,923 lbf. (13 kN) for the head-up test and 2,248 lbf. (10 kN) for a horizontal test.
Drop Testing RequirementsHarnesses and escape belts are also required to pass a drop test for each attachment point. The test method uses a 300 lb. (136 kg) manikin dropped one meter
on a 1.2 meter steel lanyard. Each sample is tested with a head-up drop and a head down drop.
NFPA Standard 1983 Life Safety Harness and Belt TypesClass I Life Safety Harness – a pelvic harness designed for
escape and with a design load of 300 lbf. (1.33 kN).
Class II Life Safety Harness – a pelvic harness designed for
rescue and with a design load of 600 lbf. (2.67 kN).
Class III Life Safety Harness – a full body harness designed
for rescue and with a design load of 600 lbf. (2.67 kN).
Ladder Belt – a belt with at least one attachment point and is
a positioning device for a person
on a ladder. Ladder belts shall
have a tether or device for
connecting to the ladder, with a
maximum length not to exceed
24 in. (610 mm).
Escape Belt – a belt with at least
one attachment point and is an
emergency self-rescue device.
NFPA Standard 1983 Life Safety Harness and BeltPerformanceRequirementsThe test method in the standard
requires a static test and a drop
test. The static test differentiates
between load bearing attachment
points and positioning attachment
points with different load require-
ments for each. Where attachment
points such as shoulder or side
D-rings are intended to be used in
pairs, the test will be done in pairs.
CMC’s instructors and engineers are a curious lot, always
asking what would happen if they did “….” We also get a lot
of what if questions from students and customers. Since
we’ve always been interested in answering as many of them
as possible, we’ve always done a lot of product testing. Our
test tower allows us to conduct product performance tests
like the NFPA harness static test (left) and drop test (above).
We are also able to test belay and anchor systems with
dynamic or static loading. As we experiment with new design
ideas and different rescue systems, we’re able to see what
works best from a laboratory perspective. Through trials in
the field and feedback from students in rescue school
classes, we add real world input to come up with the best
products possible.

While the dorsal D-ring on CMCFire Rescue and Riggers harness-es adjusts so it can be properlypositioned, it is designed to notslide up when the D-ring isloaded. If the force of loading theharness, either under normal useor a fall, slides a dorsal D-ring uptowards the back of the user’shead, the webbing going over theshoulders could pinch in towardsthe user’s neck. This has the pos-sibility of not only discomfort, buteven compromising the carotidarteries with severe results. Byhaving the dorsal D-ring securelyattached (fixed) to the rear waistportion of the harness, the har-ness design not only eliminatesthis hazard from taking place butalso allows the peak impact forceof the fall to be absorbed by thepelvis and the thighs, as opposedto the back, increasing rescuercomfort and safety.
The Advantage of theFixed Dorsal D-Ring
CMC ProTech Haz-Mat Extrication Harness
The Haz-Mat Extrication Harness was designed with
input from Phoenix Fire Captain Mark Delima as an
extrication device for personnel wearing Level-A chemi-
cal protective clothing (NFPA 472). The harness is worn
over the garment and incorporates a dorsal attachment
point for lifting or lowering the rescuer. The web straps
of the harness also provide easy grab points if an inca-
pacitated rescuer needs to be lifted or moved. The har-
ness may also be used with other bulky protective wear
such as immersion or ice rescue suits. Because of the
unknown level of exposure to chemical atmospheres or
direct chemical contact inherent in a hazardous materi-
als incident, haz-mat equipment is usually required to be disposable. Although designed to
be a one-time-use harness, the Haz-Mat Extrication Harness is made by CMC with the same care and quality materials as all CMC
harnesses and can be reused if deployed in non-toxic atmospheres. One size fits most personnel. Weight: 1 lb. 12 oz. (794 g).

The CMC/Roco Universal Harness represents both an improvement of the first
generation of CMC/Roco products and an evolution of harness design and
use. In addition to a step-up in comfort and reduced weight, the Universal is a
harness for rescue, rope access work, and fall protection. Its lighter weight
and ease of donning and doffing will appeal to emergency responders who
must act quickly. Those who work on-rope will find the side positioning D-rings
a welcome addition to the CMC/Roco design. We believe everyone will benefit
from the revolutionary waist and leg padding. The larger front D-Ring will
accept up to 3 rescue size carabiners. Improved gear loops and the unique
Web-Keepers™ for the web tails also make the Universal a one-of-a-kind
harness. So, if your job requires versatility in order to adapt to a variety of situ-
ations or you just want a harness that incorporates the latest designs for com-

The Survivor™ product line began with a firedepartment request for a ladder belt that had thecomfort and quality of a CMC harness. Based onthe traditional ladder belt that provided fall restraintand basic tool-carrying capability, we added com-fort features and the strength necessary to meetthe requirements of NFPA Standard 1983. CMC
has continued to expand the product line for fire ground belts and harnesses by combining our design and engineering with ongoing inputfrom firefighters. The Survivor can significantlyincrease the safety of firefighters by providing more and better options for fall restraint andemergency escape.

CMC Rescue Pro Pocket™
Many of us have been using small stuff bags hanging from our rescue harness to store runners,
safety scissors, gloves, and other equipment. Most pants pockets seem to hold items under the leg
straps of the harness which is painful and makes access difficult. The Pro Pocket is designed to
carry your accessory equipment securely attached to your harness. The main bag is large enough to
fit your hand inside and it easily stores bulky items. The front pocket is the place to keep things you
do not want in your pants pocket, but do not want to drop either, like keys or pagers. The small side
pocket will also hold scissors or a safety knife. The carabiner loops allow you to clip off runners to
the outside of the bag or put a safety tether on tools you might be using. Web strap wraps around your harness and adjusts
with Hook & Loop allowing a tight, stable fit for most harnesses. Made of the same 1000 denier CORDURA® nylon as our
tough rope bags. Size: 6 x 4 x 11 in. (15 x 10 x 28 cm) Weight: 5 oz. (141 g)

What Is “3σ MBS”?You might think that determining the strength of a carabiner or other piece of rescue equipment
would be relatively easy. But, even with metals like aluminum and steel, two identical carabiners will
break at slightly different forces. Maybe only a hundred pounds of difference, but still different.
Breaking five samples, as called for by the NFPA test method, provides five different results. If only
the average breaking strength is reported, the odds that your carabiner is weaker than that average
are pretty good. Even if the strength of the weakest carabiner is used as the rating, there is still a
possibility that your carabiner could be weaker, and there is no way to know how much weaker. The
industry solution has been to use a statistical formula, referred to as three sigma (3σ). The minimum
breaking strength calculation arrived at with that formula is 99.87% reliable.
NFPA 1983 specifies a performance standard for rescue equipment. For example, a general-use
carabiner must have a 3 sigma minimum breaking strength of at least 40 kN (8,992 lbf). The test
method requires five samples and a 3σ MBS is calculated. The 2006 edition of the standard allows
the manufacturer to label the product with the MBS required by the standard or any higher number
that is not more than the actual 3σ MBS calculated from the test results of the five samples. CMC
feels that the user is best served if we label our hardware with the minimum MBS required by the
standard, while providing the actual 3σ MBS figures in our literature.
During the process of our new product development, there was not enough time for Underwriters
Laboratories to test all of CMC’s products before the publication of this catalog. Where we do not
have test results that provide the calculated MBS, we have left the MBS blank. If the product is
marked as meeting the standard, then you know that it meets the MBS required by the standard and
is marked accordingly. For the actual 3σ MBS or any questions regarding product performance,
please give us call or check our website at www.cmcrescue.com.
Belay Device Performance RequirementsNFPA 1983 does not have a specific category for “belay devices.” Depending on how the device functions,
it is tested to either the Rope Grab Standard or to the Descent Control Device standard.
Light-Use
Rope grab devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN (1,124 lbf.)
Descent control devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN
(1,124 lbf.) and have a 3σ MBS of not less than 13.5 kN (3,034 lbf.)
If the belay device has a passive breaking feature, the device shall not slip more than 25 mm at a force of
1.35 kN (300 lbf.)
General-Use
Rope grab devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 11 kN (2,500 lbf.)
Descent control devices must not show any permanent damage to the device or to the rope at 5 kN
(1,124 lbf.) and have a 3σ MBS of not less than 22 kN (4,946 lbf.)
If the belay device has a passive breaking feature, the device shall not slip more than 25 mm at a force of
2.7 kN (600 lbf.)
NFPA 1983 (2006) Pulley Performance RequirementsLight-Use
Minimum 3 sigma breaking strength (3σ MBS) of not less than 22 kN (4,946 lbf.)
3σ MBS of a becket of not less than 12 kN (2,698 lbf.)

Oval
The CMC ProTech
Oval and BiWire
Oval are small utility
carabiners great for
attaching hardware
to your harness.
CMC uses the
ovals to finish off
the Load Release
Strap and/or to
guide the rope
into a pulley while
tending a Prusik.
ProTech
CMC ProTech carabiners
are the perfect size to
attach descenders,
ascenders or safety lines
to your harness.
Lightweight and strong,
ProTech locking
carabiners are also a
good choice for techni-
cal rescue systems
where the weight of your
equipment is a factor.
ProSeries and CMC Steel
CMC ProSeries Aluminum carabiners
and CMC Rescue Steel carabiners
are our big carabiners designed for
rope rescue systems. The wide gate
openings fit easily over most
stretcher rails and anchor points.
The ProSeries aluminum carabiners
meet the General Use performance
requirements of NFPA 1983 at half
the weight of steel carabiners.
ProSeries XL
Designed as a replacement for the heavy,
steel ladder hooks, CMC ProSeries XL
carabiners are also useful if you frequently
encounter large diameter anchor points.
CMC Manual-Lock Gate Design
CMC Manual-Lock carabiners stay unlocked until put
into service. Then a quick 1/4 turn locks the gate. Unlike
an auto-lock carabiner, the Manual-Lock does not need
to be unlocked to remove it from your gear rack or loop.
Unlike a screw-lock carabiner, there is no nut that can
vibrate open or tighter. This makes the Manual-Lock an
excellent choice for helicopter operations or other high
vibration environments. The gate can be opened or
closed with one hand.
CMC Visual Safety Indicators
A “skull & crossbones” warning symbol (b) provides
visual indication that the gate is not locked on the
Manual-Lock and the Screw-Lock carabiners. For added
convenience and safety, a “lock & arrow” indicates
which way to turn the sleeve to lock the gate on these
carabiners. While a carabiner should always be physical-
ly checked to confirm it is locked, the visual indicators
provide an additional level of safety.
CMC Key-Lock Carabiners
CMC ProSeries and ProTech carabiners
now use an advanced new key-lock
design. The key-lock does
not have a notch that can hang
up when you are removing
the carabiner from a harness
or web loops. The CMC Key-
Lock Carabiner’s proprietary
(patent pending) design
gives it exceptional strength
in all directions. That strength
is above what you would find
on conventional key-lock design
gates, and even most above
the strength of most pin and
notch designs.

UL Classified to NFPA 1983 – Light Use
A brand new carabiner designed to be the
ideal Light Use carabiner for rescue and rope
access. The key-lock design does not hang up
when un-clipping from your harness or web.
The wide gate opening fits over 1-in. diameter
railings — unusual for a carabiner this com-
pact and light. The bright orange Manual-Lock
model comes with a removable keeper pin for
use with lanyards or for terminating escape or
RIT lines. Every carabiner is Proof Loaded.
new! CMC ProTech BiWire CarabinersWire gate carabiners became popular in the climbing world because of their light weight and high strength. The BiWire
adds a totally new dimension to the concept by creating what is effectively a locking wire-gate carabiner. Two distinct and
opposite actions are required to open the gate. This patent-pending design features an outer gate which protects the
inner gate and prevents rope or hardware from opening it. Neither pressure from the outside or the inside of the carabiner
can cause the gate to open. This makes the BiWire a safer alternative to a non-locking carabiner. The BiWire design is
inherently strong and the gate is very resistant to dirt and ice. Even though the wires look thin, the BiWire minor axis
strength is comparable to a conventional gate carabiner. Interior Length: 3.5 in. (88 mm)
Note: The BiWire should not be used to replace a conventional locking gate carabiner because the gate is not physically
secured by a sleeve. It could be possible for something to push open the inner gate allowing the possibility of the cara-
biner coming unclipped. So, use the BiWire as an alternative to a non-locker when you want extra strength and security.

Maillon Rapide Quick LinksQuick Links are gaining popularity for use in situations for which carabiners are
not recommended, such as when tri-axial loading cannot be avoided. The Delta
shape can be used to rig anchors. The Delta and the Half Moon can be used
as a chest harness connector. While slower to open and close than a cara-
biner, they can be more secure when tightened down, and cost less.
new! CMC ProTech Oval CarabinersThe ProTech Oval is CMC’s non-locking carabiner and the unique features include the key-lock
design for snag-free operation and a side-swing gate for maximum gate opening. The oval design
places equal amounts of force on the spine and gate allowing the carabiner to maintain full rated
strength regardless of the width of the web or rope clipped into it. The ProTech Oval is a good size
to clip over the ropes coming out of a pulley to help push a Prusik Hitch. Non-locking carabiners
provide a variety of utility functions such as racking equipment or as the "keeper" carabiner on a
load-release strap or Mariner’s knot. They are also used in critical climbing or rescue applications
where a stuck gate must be avoided, but always used as pairs, rigged opposite and opposed.

Designed to be the ultimate, general purpose rescue carabiner, the CMC Rescue
Steel Locking D’s combine CMC’s experience in rescue with Omega Pacific’s
manufacturing expertise. Our auto-locking steel carabiner provides the safety of
a 3-stage auto-locking gate that can be easily opened with one hand. Using an
auto-locking carabiner decreases the possibility that the user will forget to lock
the gate or that the gate will vibrate unlocked if not kept in the correct position.
The compact size maximizes strength and allows a gate opening wide enough to
fit over most litter rails. On the screw-lock models, the nut locks against the
gate to prevent jamming. Every Carabiner is Proof Loaded.

CMC ProTech PulleysUL Classified to NFPA 1983
The choice for anyone that needs a super light, high strength pulley such as
for mountain rescue, ski patrol, tower work, and swiftwater rescue. By machin-
ing the sideplates, the thickness of the metal can be varied to maximize the
“strength to weight” ratio, a process that cannot be done with the traditional
bent metal sideplates. The unique axle assembly allows a smooth sideplate
that will not catch on the surface or other hardware. The aluminum sheave is
mounted on sealed ball bearings. Ideal for small block and tackle kits.

The CMC ProSeries Hi-Line
Carriage incorporates significant
improvements that make it the
most functional and versatile high-
line carriage, knot-passing pulley,

For highlines, the rigging holes
allow for excellent separation of
taglines and hoist ropes for reev-
ing variations. For English and
Norwegian Reeves, this results in
a greater spread between the hoist pul-
leys, thereby significantly reducing the chance of inadvertent spinning of the load below. The separate rigging holes make rigging easier and also
prevent the issue of carabiners binding against each other. Additionally, the anodized aluminum sheave is fitted with sealed ball bearings for high
efficiency. When a high-strength tie-off is required, the Hi-Line Carriage incorporates the simple, strong and innovative, built-in Sheave Lock™ that
completely eliminates the need for separate pins.

Patent Pending
The CMC CSR Pulley is a professional tool for Confined
Space Rescue and numerous other rope access and rescue
applications. It has a proprietary locking system, unlike other
pulleys that rely on a toothed cam, the CMC CSR Pulley can
be unlocked while under load.
By eliminating the cam, the pul-
ley system is much more com-
pact when fully collapsed.
Another safety feature is the
integral swivel that reduces torque by aligning the pulley with the load. A built-
in swivel is considerably more compact as it eliminates the need for multiple
connections to incorporate a separate swivel, robbing the raising system of valu-
able clearance under tripods. The machined aluminum eye provides exceptional
strength. The CSR Pulley, and its companion Swivel Double Pulley, both have
high strength aluminum side plates, sealed ball bearings, and anodized
aluminum sheaves. Accepts 7/16 and 1/2 in. (11 to 13 mm) diameter rope.CSR Pulley

tionally long wearing proprietary finish that we use on our aluminum Rescue 8s. The finish also prevents transfer of material to the
rope, common with bare aluminum bars. The Turbo Bar at the top has a training groove to center the rope plus a tie-off pin on the
side. The second bar has a straight slot and a training groove to help warn the user of a mis-rigged rack. Since the top two bars do
most of the work, they are a full one inch in diameter. The next four angled slot bars are 7/8 inch. The stainless steel frame has a
welded eye. The rack comes assembled, ready for use. 3σ MBS: General Use 11.5-13 mm, 4,946 lbf. (22 kN); Light Use 9.5-11.5mm, 4,047 lbf. (18 kN).

CMC Rescue 8UL Classified to NFPA 1983 – General Use & Light Use
The classic CMC Rescue 8 design has been refined for even better performance with the cur-
rent selection of rescue rope. Over twenty years ago, descenders had to accommodate rescue rope
sizes from 7/16 to 5/8 inch. Today 5/8 in. rope is no longer common and the smaller dimensions of the
new design provide greater control. CMC’s exotic proprietary finish on the aluminum model provides out-
standing wear resistance. The nickel-chrome plated steel model excels in the exceptionally high wear situa-
tions such as helicopter operations or sandy, gritty environments. The extended carabiner hole provides room
for multiple carabiners. Both models are machined from 1/2 in. plate.

Gibbs AscendersGibbs Ascenders provide excellent performance under the most adverse conditions, gripping on even muddy and icy ropes.
Used for years for ascending by cavers, Gibbs are also used by many rescue teams for ratchets in haul systems and in
other rope grab applications where a mechanical ascender provides greater efficiency. The Sport models are intended for
ascending rope and work well for pack hauling systems for climbers and cavers. The Rescue models have a heavier shell
and larger diameter pin for greater strength when used in a litter hauling system. On all models, the bottom of the shell has
been modified to provide a curved interface with the rope for greater strength. With the spring loaded models, the spring
prevents the ascender from sliding down the rope when the cam is not loaded. All models fit rope from 7/16 to 1/2 in. (11-
12.5 mm). Note: the breaking strength applies to the unit. The actual Gibbs/rope performance will vary depending onthe type, brand, and condition of the rope.

ProTech Swivel – This compact, low-profile swivel is ideal for special uses where minimum size and weight are required such as wilderness rescue or tactical operations.
CMC Rescue Swivel – The standard size rescue swivel for stretcher systems and helicopter operations combines high strength and light weight. Symmetrical holes provide room for multi-
ple carabiners. High speed, multi-axis CNC machining allows a full featured swivel at a reduced price for the best value in the industry.
ProSeries Swivel – Designed to work at high loads, not just to survive them, this is a larger swivel with a special bearing that allows a much higher working load without damage
than the bearings in other swivels.

Swivels perform two functions that can help a rescue system runsmoother, first by removing twist from the system, and second byallowing the pulley to align with the direction of pull.
Cable based systems have been used successfully for over 40 yearsfor car over the side rescues and they are frequently used in industrial applications. A loaded cable unwinds and can put significanttwist into the system, a particular nuisance if it wraps around thebelay line. A swivel at the end of the cable eliminates this problem.
When rigging a change of direction, especially highpoints over aconfined space where a tripod could not be used, a swivel can help.
The primary place during industrial type rescues is where the systemis rigged from a lower level due to space limitations. A swivel at thebottom change of direction helps resolve the twisting action of thebottom anchor.
If the system rope is dragging on the sideplate of a change of direction pulley, system efficiency is lost. While the pulley and carabinerconnection appears loose, when loaded it tends to hold the twocomponents more in alignment. Inserting a swivel at this point allowsthe pulley to move freely to align with the direction of the load onthe rope.

new! CMC ProTech Roof AnchorUL Classified to NFPA 1983 – General Use
Designed by firefighters, the Roof Anchor quickly provides a secure anchor point for roof operations. Set
the anchor on the roof and hammer the 1/2-inch (12 mm) diameter spike into the surface. When not in
use, the spike folds into the anchor for safe storage and transport. While rated over 9,000 lbf. (36 kN),
the Roof Anchor’s working strength will depend on the structural integrity of the surface, including any
damage caused by the spike. Because of the highly variable strength of roof materials and difficulty in
assessing this strength accurately, the use of a second Roof Anchor or multiple units should be standard
protocol. Dimensions (closed): 10.5 x 3.5 in (266 x 89 mm); Spike length: 5-3/4 in. (146 mm); Weight: 1 lb. 9 oz. (709 g); 3σσ MBS: 9,420 lbf. (41.9 kN)

*UL Classified to NFPA 1983 Not all subjects are injured or requireimmobilization and transport in astretcher, so a rappel based rescuecan often be used. One common rappel based rescue involves transferringthe subject onto the rescuer’s descender. This is usually referred to as a“pick off.” Hands on experience practicing and teaching this technique ledto the development of the CMCProSeries Pick Off Strap as a moreefficient way of quickly securing a subject then transferring their weight.
Today’s CMC Rescue School classesteach team based skills, and the pickoff rescue now employs a main lineand a belay line. The Pick Off Strapcontinues to be used for quick attachment to the subject, effecting theweight transfer, and then positioningthe subject above the rescuer for best control.
Similar product ideas that followed thePick Off Strap included the CMCProSeries Adjustable Stretcher Strap,which provided a more efficient tendertie in for low angle evacuations, andthe CMC ProSeries Load ReleaseStrap. The Load Release Strap is acompact, simple, easy to rig way torelease the load on the “ratchet” of themain line or a loaded belay device.
These are just a few of the originalCMC designs that have been widely adopted by rescuers aroundthe world.
CMC ProSeries AdjustableStretcher Strap
Tying in at the right distance from the litter
is the key to comfort and efficiency. That’s
why we devel-
oped the
Adjustable Stretcher
Strap. Minor adjustments can be
made while the litter is moving. Quickly
releasing the buckle extends the strap rather than
dragging the rescuer down with the litter. Sewn loop strength exceeds 8,039lbf. (36 kN). Buckle performs the same as the Pick Off Strap described above.

The Pick Off Rescue
CMC ProSeries Pick Off StrapCMC created the Pick Off Strap so that a rescuer could quickly con-
nect to the victim and then adjust the strap to the desired length. CMC
Pick Off Strap works well for positioning the victim for a lowering or
rappel-based pick off or for an assisted rappel. We added a
loop to the end for a more positive grip when
pulling to adjust. Our ProSeries blue web
improves the long-term performance,
especially
where it threads
through the buckle. D-Ring end is rated at 8,039
lbf. (36 kN). Depending on how the buckle is
loaded, it will begin to slip between 3,500 to 4,500
lbf. (15-20 kN). Tying off the buckle will increase the
strength. This Pick Off Strap with Web Keeper allows the strap to be carried on a
gear sling or harness without tangling or getting caught. Color: Blue. Length whenfully extended: 42 in. (107 cm) Weight: 13 oz. (368 g)

Rescue Lifeline By far the predominate rope in rescue
operations is 1/2-inch, static kernman-
tle rope. The core (kern) and sheath
(mantle) construction provides excellent
handling and durability. Rescue units
that transport rope long distances often
select a smaller diameter, such as
7/16-inch. While all nylon construction
has been the standard for years, lower
stretch all-polyester ropes are gaining
popularity.
Rope Access WorkMost rope access work such as window
washing, building and dam inspection,
and other work on rappel uses 7/16-inch
kernmantle ropes. This size works well
with a variety of hardware on the market,
particularly the more sophisticated
descenders such as the Petzl I’D.
Escape LineSince Escape Lines spend most of their
time being carried, they should be light in
weight and compact enough to stay out of
the way when working a fire. All certified
escape lines provide sufficient strength for
the bailout rappel. The difference is their
resistance to the heat of the fire ground
environment. While the nylon and poly-
ester fiber ropes meet the NFPA require-
ment for heat resistance, some ropes add
aramid fibers to provide an added level of
resistance.
RIT LineIn many areas it has become a standard
practice to deploy a small cord behind the firefighter when entering an area
where low visibility and the floor plan increases the chance of becoming
“lost.” Called RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) Lines or Guide Lines, these ropes
let the RIT team retrace your path and find you. Aramid fibers are the prefer-
ence for their resistance to flame and high temperatures.
Climbing Rope When climbing above your belayer or if
you anticipate a fall factor greater than
.25, you need a dynamic rope such as
those used by rock climbers. These ropes
of nylon fiber and kernmantle construction
are designed for excellent handling and
maximum energy absorption.
Water RescueThrowlineThrowlines are designed to float so they
are easier to see and reach. The new
NFPA 1983 standard for water rescue
throwlines states they should be between
7 mm and 9.5 mm and have a minimum
strength of 13kN (2923 lbf.) Poly-
propylene is the most common fiber for
floating ropes and the higher strength
models add high tenacity polypropylene
fibers such as Spectra.
Prusik CordA Prusik Cord is a climbing accessory
cord used to tie a Prusik Hitch around the
rescue rope. A good Prusik Cord has just
the right stiffness to reliably grab the res-
cue rope with the cord. A cord that is too
stiff will not grab automatically when
needed. Soft cords grab too easily, making
them hard to manage, and tend to wear
out quickly.
Ladder HalyardA halyard for a fire service ladder must
be easy to grip with gloves and, because
ladders are stored on the exterior of the trucks, excellent resistance to sun
and rain is necessary. Single or double braid ropes work well in pulleys and
can be spliced for clean end terminations. CMC Rescue Ladderline is a
double-braid construction using polyester fiber for resistance to sun and
moisture.

The elongation of a life safety rope relates directly to the forces encountered
when a load is placed on the rope, either by lifting a stretcher or when arrest-
ing a fall. The important question is “how much elongation” is right for any
particular application. A few years ago it was a simple choice. Sport climbing
ropes had too much stretch, and “static” kernmantle caving ropes had enough
stretch to provide some energy absorption, but not enough to make them inef-
ficient in systems. So we used the caving ropes, but today there are a lot more
choices in rope materials and performance.
In 1998, the Cordage Institute published standard (CI-1801) that defined a
“static” rope as having 1% to 6% elongation at 10% of the rope’s minimum
breaking strength. A “low-stretch” rope would have 6% to 10% elongation at
the rope’s minimum breaking strength. NFPA Standard 1983 on Life Safety
Rope sets the standard for elongation between 1% and 10% at a load equal to
10% of the rope’s minimum breaking strength.
Elongation is really just another way of describing how much a rope will
stretch when it is loaded. When the rope is used as a belay line, this stretch-
ing, or elongation, reduces the impact force. The greater the elongation, the
less force felt by the system. A good example would be a bungee jumper tak-
ing a tremendous fall (jump) and stopping very comfortably. The critical factor,
of course, is having enough clear, unobstructed space below.
It might seem that rope with high elongation would be appropriate as a belay
line. After all, a belay line catching a fall is a dynamic event, and the impact
forces throughout the system are greater than the static load. A high elonga-
tion rope would absorb energy and minimize the impact. But, as described
above, this requires a safe distance in which to stop. Unfortunately in a rescue,
there are too many ledges, edges, and other hard things that could be more
damaging to the rescuer and patient than the impact force of being quickly
stopped by the belay rope.
While advantageous for a belay, a rope with high elongation has disadvantages
when used with a rappel or stretcher system. When a rescuer on rappel or
tending a stretcher transfers his weight to the rope, the rope stretches. This
means there is more rope between the anchor and the rescuer, causing an
uncontrolled downward movement and introducing the risk of the rescuer hit-
ting a ledge or the ground. With high elongation rope in a raising system, the
haul team has to pull the stretch out of the rope before moving the load, thus
reducing the team’s efficiency. For these operations, an ideal rope would have
minimum elongation.
Determining How MuchElongation is Right for You
Here is how we suggest you decide “how much elongation” in a
rope is right for you. First, determine a maximum acceptable
impact force that your system should be able to tolerate without
causing harm to the people or failure of the system. The value
that has been suggested by many, and is being considered for
several standards, is 15 kN. This number was proposed many
years ago by the British Columbia Council on Technical Rescue
for their Belay Competence Drop Test (BCCTR). This was based
on a typical rescue load of a patient, stretcher, tender and gear.
Next, determine the maximum desired stopping distance for
your belay system. This requires looking at both the elongation
in the rope and the type of belay device being used. The BCCTR
test recommends a maximum stopping distance of 1 meter.
Your situation might allow a longer distance or may even
require a shorter distance.
When you have determined your requirements for impact force
and stopping distance, test your belay system to see if it meets
your needs. View the system as a whole, including rope, belay
device, operator, and anticipated loads. Different belay systems
can impart different impact forces on the system and should be
tested as a unit. ASTM F2436-05 Standard Test Method for
Measuring the Performance of Synthetic Rope Rescue Belay
Systems and Equipment provides a test method for comparing
one system to another. The best belay system will be one that
arrests a fall in the shortest distance and stays below the maxi-
mum acceptable force on the system’s components.

CMC Rescue Static-Pro™ LifelineUL Classified to NFPA 1983
Constructed of 100% high-tenacity polyester fiber, Static-Pro Lifeline is an extremely low stretch, kernmantle
rescue lifeline that provides advantages when the need for super-low elongation offsets the need for the rope
to provide energy absorption in the system. With less than 1% stretch at 300 lbs., Static-Pro is an excellent
choice for high lines, long rappels, and many mechanical advantage haul systems. Its low electrical conduc-
tivity has advantages when working on towers or charged electrical equipment. The polyester fiber ropes
have better resistance to acids than nylon, making Static-Pro an advantage in acidic environments. TheStatic-Pro Lifelines come in solid colors with a single stripe to prevent confusion with CMC RescueLifeline and other solid color kernmantle ropes.

New England KM III Static Kernmantle Rescue Rope UL Classified to NFPA 1983
A superior handling rescue rope, New England Ropes KM III static kernmantle rope features a composite con-
struction of nylon and polyester fibers. KM III has a weight-balanced construction with the sheath and the core
each representing 50% of the total weight. The rope is torque-balanced to eliminate any spin during a rappel.
The continuous filament polyester sheath is braided over a continuous nylon fiber core. This provides excellent
handling and knot-holding characteristics, as well as rugged protection from abrasion and cutting. The polyester
sheath provides added protection for ultraviolet light and from chemicals that are harmful to nylon. The polyester
sheath also reduces the strength loss and weight gain that occurs when nylon absorbs water.
The following specifications apply to alldiameters of New England KM III:

CMC RescuePrusik Cordand LoadRelease HitchCordThe most important attributes of a cord used for
Prusik Hitches is consistency in handling and
diameter. Once you have determined the Prusik Hitch that works best on your host rope, you want the same
performance every time you replace it. CMC Rescue Prusik Cord has the right balance of suppleness for reli-
able activation, but is not so soft that it wears out rapidly. Made of nylon with a torque-free, kernmantle con-
struction, it comes in solid colors to help discriminate between cords designed for Prusik Hitches and
climber’s accessory cords. Two color choices in the 7 mm and 8 mm diameters allow you to use a separate
color for each length Prusik in a Tandem Prusik Belay System. The 9 mm diameter is the size preferred by
rescuers that use a load releasing hitch. Available by the foot or spool.

Ultra-Pro™ EdgeProtectors
A CMC Rescue Exclusive
Super slick, space-age material not only protects your rope from sharp or
rough edges, but also reduces friction. Lighter weight and easier to trans-
port than edge rollers or similar devices, the Ultra-Pro conforms to the edge,
and prevents sharp bends in the rope. The Ultra-Pro is available in two sizes:
the Ultra-Pro 2 is for two ropes, and the Ultra-Pro 4 accepts four ropes.
Carabiner holes in all four corners allow the Ultra-Pro to be tied off for safety
or linked together for extended protection. Made in the USA. Patent pending.

Air Rescue Gloves Heavy Duty Glove for Helicopter Hoist and Fast Rope Operations
Managing cable during hoist operations can wear out a glove faster than
almost any other rescue activity. Of all of the gloves we have tried, the
Metolius Belay Glove proved the most durable. We also found it provided the
best hand protection and control for fast rope descents. Full grain leather
glove with a triple-stitched, split cowhide reinforced palm. The hook and loop
closure provides a snug fit. A carabiner fits easily through the large webbing
clip-in loop. Color: Tan/Natural

CMC Rescue Riggers Gloves We have been looking for years to find a glove that was
thin enough to allow a rescuer to tie knots and work with
hardware, and still provide the protection needed when
operating a belay system or hauling on the main line. This syn-
thetic leather palm glove has the dexterity of a light glove, but the
durability and hand protection of a much heavier leather glove. The
pre-curved anatomic design offers a close, comfortable fit making it
easy to work with knots and hardware, yet the gloves also provide
hand protection for rappels, chain saw and power tool operation, or
busting brush. Mesh back increases comfort and helps to keep the
hands cooler. Elastic on the back of the wrist provides a secure fit. Label
has space for user’s name. Carabiner loops are sewn into wrist, which allow you
to hang gloves on harness gear loops, when not in use. Machine washable for easy clean up. Color: Black.

Alta pads are lightweight, but have a full 1/2-inch

patented blunt-tipped blade is a toothy eighty-percent SpyderEdged for aggressively cutting seatbelts and fibrous material. The last inch of the tip is
PlainEdge for detailed cutting. The Cobra Hood positions the thumb directly over the hole for quick blade deployment, and then doubles as a leveraging platform for the thumb.
The wavy pattern cut from the top of the blade and along the inside of the handle lets you place a piece of rope (between the half-open blade and handle) and scissor the
blade shut; especially convenient for cutting rope in-and-around flesh without having to fully open/expose the knife's blade. In the closed position, squeeze the blade deeper
into the handle and a retractable carbide tip protrudes out from the base for breaking glass. Outlined in safety orange on the handle's spine is a shrill and attention-pitched
survival whistle. Carries left/right handed, tip-up by means of a tension wire clip. Blade length: 3.69 in. (94 mm) Open length: 8.375 in. (213 mm) Weight: 4 oz. (115 g)

Princeton Tec is converting theirheadlamp line to the revolutionary new Rebel LED technology that offerstwice the brightness, twice the efficiency, and a longer shelf life compared to standard high watt LEDs on themarket. As a result, today’s PrincetonTec headlamps offer significantlyincreased performance.
Princeton Tec lights that featureregulated LEDs have a sophisticatedregulating circuit that maintains initialbrightness as long as the batterieshave sufficient voltage. Traditionallights are very bright initially, butimmediately begin to dim and continue to dim until the batteries aredrained. Constant Brightness is aterm used to describe products thathave regulated LEDs.
Xenon bulbs use a special type ofhalogen gas. Xenon bulbs comeclosest to replicating the color temperature of daytime light. They alsogenerate about twice the brightnessand consume about half the power of traditional halogen bulbs.
Weight conscious users will love theQuad's sophisticated circuitry thatallows the optional use of lithium AAAbatteries. They reduce the Quad'sweight to 82 grams, perform inextremely cold temperatures, andsignificantly increase regulated burntimes on all modes.

CMC offers the Torrent flashlight in two models: a super-bright
Xenon incandescent light to cut through smoke and haze when
searching a building or route finding at night and a long last-
ing LED model that can be used in hazardous locations. The
Torrent combines a focused narrow and a focused wide beam
to allow for the most versatility. At close range, the wide beam simu-
lates normal daylight conditions so you can take advantage of your
peripheral vision. The narrow beam creates a long-throw spotlight
ideal for night hiking and search & rescue. The locking switch, which is easy to use even with gloves on, pre-
vents the light from being turned on by accident. O-ring seals on the lens cap and switch prevent water leak-
age whether dropped in the river or blasted by a fire hose. Eight AA Alkaline batteries included.

Class II, Div 2, Groups F & G*
The recreation market is saturated with a wide variety
of headlamps and we have tried many of them on
night searches and rescues. The operative parameters
are running time, brightness, light weight, and comfort;
and you often make a trade off to get the most functional
balance. The Princeton Tec Yukon HL uses an advanced technolo-
gy, 1-watt Maxbright Rebel LED for bright, long distance illumination and
an array of 3 high-output LEDs for close-in applications that provide exceptional
running time and the perfect amount of light for map reading, looking in your pack, and
walking. Brighter than many incandescent halogen and xenon bulb headlamps, the 1-watt Maxbright LED
offers the advantages of long running time, durability, and impact resistance. Useful light for the 1-watt LED is
44 hours and for the three 5-mm LEDs, 120 hours. Water-resistant. Runs on 3 AA batteries, included.

CMC ProTech Rescue StretcherThe CMC ProTech Stretchers are light-duty, disaster response stretchers designed for durability and versatility.
The unique feature of the ProTech Stretchers is the tubular runner rails that run the full length of
the stretcher along the bottom. These provide a very strong and durable base, making it
far more difficult to damage from regular use, as compared to other baskets that
simply use a flat bar. This product represents a very cost-effective alternative to
the more heavy-duty stainless steel models, and will meet the needs of many
users who only use stretchers occasionally, or who are on very limited budgets
for rescue equipment. All models are 7-1/4 in. (18 cm) deep. Durathenenetting. Powder coated steel. Load Rating: 900 lbf. (4 kN). Color: Black.

CMC Rescue Litter Shield PlusTaller and with a Universal Mounting Bracket
Protect your patient from further trauma during stretcher evacuations and carryouts. A patient in a stretch-
er has a very limited ability to protect their face, head, and neck. Since its inception, the CMC Rescue Litter
Shield has made several “saves” by deflecting falling rocks away from patients’ heads. The shield provides
protection from falling rocks and debris, inclement weather, and brush without compromising access to
and visibility of the patient’s head. The Litter Shield Plus is taller to provide more room for a patient on a
backboard or litter insert, and to help reduce the “closed-in” feeling experienced by some patients. The
mounting bracket eliminates the need for a railing clamp on the stretcher and allows the shield to fit
most stretchers. Molded of thick Lexan®, the Litter Shield offers impact resistance with the clarity and
weather-ability of glass. Patient comfort is increased due to the reduced need for other head and face
protective equipment. Patented. Weight: 6 lbs. (2.7 kg)

new! Emegear NeXsplint Cervical Splint• Immobilizes in position of comfort• Greater degree of immobilization• Fits a broader range of patient sizes and types• Custom fit during application
Not just a C-collar requiring continuous support by the medic, the NeXsplint is a full cervi-
cal splint, acting as a force multiplier allowing cervical stabilization in difficult to work loca-
tions or when access to the patient is limited. The NeXsplint fits a broad range of patient sizes and
types, eliminating the need for carrying multiple collars to make sure you have the right size. Because
the NeXsplint can be custom fit during application, a minimum amount of patient movement is needed
before the cervical spine is protected. These features make the NeXsplint the ideal choice for confined
space rescue and wilderness rescue where patient access is difficult or personnel to help are not
available. The compact model of the NeXsplint easily fits in most packs and comes vacuum sealed in a
protective bag. Size folded: 14 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. (37 x 22 cm) Weight: 8 oz. (227 g)

CMC Rescue Stretcher HarnessDesigned for high-angle rescues where minimum weight is important such as backcountry rescues or
air operations. The legs adjust with a cam buckle for easily placing the patient in the most comfort-
able position. The legs are color coded, head and foot, for fast set up. The system ropes can be
attached directly to the 12,000-lbf. Delta Quick Link (included) or connected in with carabin-
ers. A 10-foot tender line is included.

Gibbs ascenders and etrier are for attaching the stretcher atten-
dant to the tender line.
CMC Rescue Vertical-Lift Stretcher HarnessConfined spaces and narrow openings require the stretcher to be rigged with
the patient held vertically in order to fit, and these openings usually end with a
90-degree transition. The Vertical-Lift Harness eases the transition over an
edge when a high anchor point is not available, such as a parapet roof, out a
window, off a tank top, or over a handrail. This reduces the manpower require-
ments, improves patient care and reduces risk. The unique “spreader bar”
allows the stretcher to pivot between the side straps as the head of the
stretcher clears the edge. Constructed of 6,000 lbf., one-inch flat web for high
strength and lightweight. Buckles allow easy adjustment.

military specifications. A heavy duty "O" Ring is used for the top tie-in point. Parachute buckles on
each of the four legs allow them to be adjusted independently, which means the stretcher can
quickly and easily be set at the best angle for patient comfort. The use of Mil-Spec hardware
throughout reduces wear on the web. Rated strength of the harness: 5,000 lbf. (22 kN).A 10-foot tender line and a nylon storage bag are included. Web Color: Black.Weight: 4 lbs., 8 oz. (2 kg) Carabiners not included.

The CMC ProSeries Low-Angle Evac Stretcher Harness is faster to use
than tying a harness out of web. A harness on the outside of the

improved! CMC Rescue Patient Tie-In SystemFor many years the accepted method for securing a patient in a
stretcher was improvised internal and external lashings using one-
inch tubular web. Not everyone remembers how to do it and often
the finished lashing was either too tight or too loose. Looking for a
quicker and more secure way, the CMC Rescue Patient Tie-In
System was developed after testing a variety of prototypes during
CMC Rescue School classes. The refined product is lighter weight,
quick, secure, and can be easily adjusted to meet the patient’s
requirements for comfort. The pelvic harness part of the system sup-
ports the patient’s weight when the stretcher is placed in a head up
position. The internal lashings are available for a one-piece or two-
piece stretcher. They can be used with the pelvic harness system or for a patient on a backboard. Color-coded web helps keep the system
organized.

NOTE ONKIT CONTENTS
K E Y W O R D S E A R C H T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S I N D E X
Development of the Rock Exotica Arizona Vortex The Arizona Vortex was developed in the desert mountains of northern Arizona.
Its design was based on expertise gained while working with wooden timber
frame “artificial” high directionals constructed for vertical rescue work. Initial
development work was done during Ropes That Rescue (RTR) Seminars under
the direction of Reed Thorne. The first metal prototype of the Arizona Vortex
was an “easel-style A-Frame” welded together from steel square tubing and
plate. Although heavy and cumbersome, it provided a test bed for proving and
refining the design. The next step was the construction of an aluminum proto-
type. It was tested in four one-week-long RTR rigging seminars before the next
prototype was made. It refined the legs’ adjusting system and introduced the
“Raptor” foot design (named for its claw-like appearance). The shape of the
foot helps direct forces downward into the soft soil often found in mines and
wilderness locations.
Three more years of use in rescue, rigging seminars, and rope access world-
wide allowed Reed Thorne to further refine the design. With the help and exqui-
site craftsmanship of Rock Thompson of ROCK EXOTICA, and input from other
users, the next generation of the Arizona Vortex took shape. It is incredibly ver-
satile and can be rigged as a tripod, a bipod, or monopod.

While tripods are inherently stable undermost conditions, A Frames (bipods) andGin Poles (monopods) are not. Improperrigging will put subjects and rescuers atrisk. A knowledge of advanced riggingand complex guying systems is essentialto safely set up A Frames and Gin Poles.As with all rescue techniques, and particularly where advanced skills are involved,CMC urges professional level training.Training specific to the use of the AZVortex is available from CMC RescueSchool and Ropes That Rescue, Ltd.

• Lighter, smaller head unit is milled from a solid block of high-strength aluminum
• Two-piece Head Set can be used as a tripod, bipod, or monopod (Gin Pole)
• Two independent artificial high directionals can be made from one unit
• Lighter, shorter legs (without any loss of tripod height) are easier to transport
• Ideal for rope access work—much more than just a rescue tripod

Arizona Vortex Configurations
Key Benefits:• Color Coding – Top and bottom sections of the legs are colored differently to aid in
assembly. The two parts of the head come in different colors for quick identification.
• Telescoping Legs – The top legs telescope inside the lower legs and slide through the
head to allow adjustment of both the overall height
or the height of a single leg.
• Pulley Mount – A pulley can be mounted
directly into the head, eliminating the
height lost when a carabiner is used as
a connector.
• Head Set Pulley Wheel –
The Arizona Vortex includes a
Head Set Pulley Wheel that
mounts into the head set with
a pin. This allows maximum
height adjustment and eliminates
the need for additional
hardware.

Bipod
The flexibility of the Arizona Vortex allows for three different configurations to meet
the requirements of a specific rescue.
Tripod – The most stable configuration. The articulating third leg allows the head to
be moved closer to an edge than in a conventional tripod.
Bipod – Has good stability in one direction, but must be securely guyed. It can be
positioned square or sideways to the direction of the load.
Gin Pole – The least stable configuration and needs to be securely guyed. May be
the only choice when there is not room for more than one leg.

The AZ Vortex comes
complete with:
Rock Exotica Arizona Vortex Reflecting the experience of the many users
during Ropes That Rescue Ltd. workshops,
and CMC Rescue School classes, the next
generation of the AZ Vortex provides even
more perfomance-enhancing features. The
two-piece head can be rigged as a standard
tripod, or in advanced applications as an A-
Frame, a sideways A-Frame, or a Gin Pole.
The “easel” leg allows the tripod to be leaned
to form an easel A-Frame with adjustable leg
lengths. With the versatile third leg, the AZ
Vortex lets rescuers set up an artificial high
directional in virtually any urban, industrial, or
wilderness location. The lighter Head Set and
the lighter, more compact legs make the
Vortex easier to transport. On A-Frame and
easel A-Frame applications, at least two pul-
leys can now be attached directly into the
Head Set without carabiners, eliminating lost
headspace and working clearance. This dou-
ble pulley feature makes the Vortex ideal for
use with highlines and tracking line offsets.
The extra attachment points also work well
for rope access where several lines may be
needed over the edge. Two different types of
Vortex feet provide a secure footing on vary-
ing terrain.

The gear needs to be light, dependable, and multifunctional as the technician carries all his access gear plushis working tools. CMC recommends the following equipment for Rope Access Technicians.
Confined space rescue equipment needs to be durable and flexible. Tight spaces require equipment that can with-stand crawling and dragging, and may be exposed to environmental hazards. The following personal equipment isrecommended by CMC as the best option for confined space operations.
Equipment for rescue in an industrial setting frequently has the same requirements as a confined space environment. It shouldbe durable as well as strong and offer the flexibility to be worn for prolonged periods of time. CMC recommends the followingpersonal equipment as the best option for rescuers involved in industrial access or rescue operations.

Protecto Cable Wrap
While teaching Confined Space Rescue we’ve
learned what works and what doesn’t when you’re
pulling communications cable, air lines, and safety
lines. After trying wrap-around covers, zip-on covers,
and just taping the lines together, we discovered
Protecto Cable Wrap. This polyester mesh tubing is
less expensive and less bulky than other alternatives
and it slides around corners and doesn t catch on
obstructions. It slides on easily—no zippers to fail or
hooks and loops to release at the wrong time. The
material won t absorb or hold liquids so it is easier to
maintain and clean. Different colors aid in identifying
lines. It will fit line bundles from 1/2 to 1-1/4 inch in
diameter. Rated to 125˚F. Available in 250 ft. spools.

Item #752008 HALF-SKED, Orange $173.90
The flotation system for the SKED Stretcher main-
tains the patient in a nearly vertical
position. It is designed so that a
patient in the water can be loaded
into the stretcher. Self-righting, it will
keep the patient’s head above water
even in rough seas. Fits both the full-size and pediatric SKED Stretchers.
The Mass Casualty—Haz-Mat Decontaminable
(HMD) SKED is a variation of the classic SKED
Stretcher design and is intended for ease of use
in mass casualty or hazardous material incidents.
Mass Casualty Incidents: The HMD SKED can be stored
flat on pallets with the straps packaged separately. This allows
quick movement of a large number of stretchers to an incident
with a large number of patients, such as a plane crash or explosion.
Pallets of 50 to 200 HMD stretchers can be moved by truck or airlifted
by helicopter. Efficient tactics facilitate the rapid movement of patients.
Haz-Mat Incidents: Doing anything in Level A and B protective suits is difficult. The HMD SKED allows a
patient or a downed rescuer to be quickly rolled onto the stretcher and pulled out of the hot zone by rescuers
a rope length away. Polypropylene straps are resistant to chemicals and the two-inch side release buckles are
easy to operate even with thick gloves. Color: Yellow. Weight: 12 lbs., 6 oz. (5.6 kg)

SKED Stretcher Flotation System
HMD SKED Stretcher
HALF-SKED Patient DragSkedco developed the HALF-SKED for extri-
cating patients from spaces too tight or
restricted for other stretchers. We think the
HALF-SKED is ideal for tactical teams that
need to secure and rapidly extricate an
injured person. The HALF-SKED allows res-
cuers to bend the patient at the hips in order
to turn corners in caves or confined spaces.
The HALF-SKED uses two-inch wide chest
and leg straps with side-release buckles to
package the patient quickly and securely, par-
ticularly valuable if the patient must be imme-
diately evacuated from a high risk area.

becomes rigid when folded around your patient. A variety of handles and
straps allows the stretcher to be transported by carrying, lifting (vertically or
horizontally) by rope systems or helicopter, or towed with the stretcher slid-
ing on the smooth bottom surface. System comes complete with the stretcher,

CMC ProTech Rigger’s HarnessUL Classified to NFPA 1983 and ANSI Z359.1
CMC Rescue harness designs have long been a favorite of the riggers in the entertainment
industry and the Rigger’s Harness has the features they have requested. These same fea-
tures make it an excellent harness for rope access work of all kinds. Our dorsal D-Ring
design allows the position of the D-Ring to be adjusted for the most comfort. When
loaded, it does not ride up, but stays close to the back for maximum comfort and mini-
mum pressure on the neck. The front waist D-Ring allows a comfortable, stable sitting
position for rappels and the sternum D-Ring can be used for a front-mounted safety line
when climbing towers or other structures. Side D-Rings allow effective work positioning. Dark
colors minimize visibility when working “behind the scenes.” Weight: 4 lbs., 10 oz. (2.1 kg)Attachment Points: Front waist; sternum; dorsal; side waist.
The Work Seat provides additional comfort when you need to spend an extended time
sitting in a harness. The seat attaches to the front D-Ring of the CMC Rescue, ProSeries,
ProTech and CMC/Roco harnesses. Side adjustments allow the wearer to transfer as
much or as little weight from the harness to the seat as desired. As a result, the sitting
position can be varied to minimize pressure points, extending comfortable working time.
The aluminum frame is removable for cleaning. Weight: 2 lbs. (907 g) (Harness sold separately)

improved! CMC Rescue Escape Artist The Most Advanced Escape Descent Control Device Available
UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - Escape
The Escape Artist offers what most other escape devices do not— a hands-
free edge transition and a controllable descent. The Escape Artist pays out
the rope smoothly and then locks when loaded, allowing both hands to
be used to negotiate the exit. Squeezing the lever gives the user con-
trol of the descent rate. Intended for the most extreme conditions, the
Escape Artist’s all-metal construction and minimum number of parts provides
durability and reliable performance. The Escape Artist is intended to be pre-rigged on an escape line,
and kept ready for immediate use. The improved handle is located inside the side plates, reducing
the potential of catching on an edge. It also provides increased mechanical advantage for easier
control, while maintaining all of the high-performance features of the original design.
new! CMC Rescue Double Brake Escape Artist Squeeze Too Hard and the Descent Slows
UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - Escape
Some users were concerned that in a panic situation, a firefighter might squeeze the handle of
their descender and not be able to stop. The unique design of the Double Brake Escape Artist
eliminates that concern. You release the handle to stop, but if you squeeze too hard, the Double
Brake Escape Artist will slow or stop your descent.
• Patented auto-brake allows hands-free edge transitions
• Variable friction allows user to control rate of descent
• Works equally well with or without gloves of any type
• Constructed of aluminum and stainless steel
• Compact and lightweight - only 6.5 oz. (184 g)
• Fits 8 mm escape lines only
The Double Brake Escape Artist has all the other features of the original Escape Artist:

K E Y W O R D S E A R C H T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S I N D E X
The choice of a descent control device involves inherent trade offsbased on what is most important to the user. The original singlebrake design of the Escape Artist provides a hands free edge transition and exceptional control on the descent. An important feature isthe ease of paying out rope if the anchor point is some distance fromthe edge. Squeezing the handle fully allows the rope to slide smoothlythrough the device. The trade off is that during a descent the usermust remember to release the handle to slow down. Squeezing thedevice in a panic grip will allow the user to continue to descend.
The Double Brake Escape Artist operates in the same manner: theuser squeezes the handle to control descent and releases the handle
to stop. However, if the descent is too fast and the user panics,squeezing harder on the handle instead of letting up, the Double BrakeEscape Artist will slow the descent. To the best of our knowledge, thisis the only available escape certified descent control device with adouble braking feature. The trade off is that when a user is letting outrope quickly to cross a room, some skill is required to find the free running spot between too little or too much pressure on the handle.
The choice of which model Escape Artist will work best for yourdepartment and personnel depends on its level of training and theprotocols that have been established for emergency escape.

new! Firefighter Retrieval SystemDesigned by a Firefighter to Save Firefighters
Why carry just an escape kit when the Firefighter Retrieval Kit has the tools to accomplish a horizontal
or vertical evacuation of a downed firefighter as well as providing you with a means of escape? The
equipment in this kit can be configured in a variety of ways to assist a downed firefighter even under
dire circumstances. The single pulley allows the rescuer to build a 2:1 mechanical advantage for assis-
tance in dragging an incapacitated firefighter across the floor, especially useful in a low-rise/wide-rise
(big box store construction) building. By rigging the single and double pulleys and connecting to a high
point, a 3:1 mechanical advantage can be built to raise a downed firefighter up and over a window sill
or other obstruction and down to the ground or other area of safe haven. Use the Survivor 8 to lower
yourself or another firefighter to safety. The tough CORDURA® nylon storage bag attaches to an
SCBA or a truck belt and has pockets for storing the hardware. Developed by firefighters and then
field tested in real life applications. Weight: 3.2 lbs (1.5 g).
new! CMC Survivor Cearley RapidIntervention StrapThis multi-purpose strap was developed by Rick Cearley to provide a means of extricating a downed firefighter from a struc-

to safety. The Cearley RIT Strap can also be used as a quick attachment for securing a victim or as a safety belay when a fire-
fighter is working on a roof. Large loops at each end provide easy handling even with structure gloves. Rick Cearley is a

high degree of flexibility allowing a quick and secure solution to the anchor choices. The NARS Escape Hook can be used to
breach walls and anchor into studs while the oval design protects your hand. The point can be hooked over an edge or
behind a solid pipe. A fire tool can be slipped through the opening or the escape line can be tied off to itself or to the hook. Dimensions: 7 1/2 x 6 in. (19 x 15 cm).

improved! CMC Survivor RIT Kits
For many firefighters, the solution to navigation in an unknown structure with poor visibility is a small cord attached at the entrance and deployed as
the firefighter moves through the building. Whether called a RIT line, guideline, or search line, the cord provides a means of retracing your steps to the
entry point or for a Rapid Intervention Team to quickly locate you. With a carabiner on each end, your partner’s line can be attached to yours to extend
the distance. The 50 ft. length works well for residences and small structures. The 150 ft. length is a good choice for larger commercial buildings.
Includes CMC ProSeries RIT Line and two bright orange ProTech Manual Lock Carabiners with keeper pin.

The IntegratedStealth Harness(ISH) SystemIshmael L. Antonio retired from an elite
rescue team known as the USAF
Pararescue. During more than 20 years
of service, Ish was credited with 30
lives saved. He is an experienced
climber who has participated in two Mt.
McKinley expeditions and has done
Yosemite Valley big-wall ascents on El
Capitan and Half Dome. His combat
field experience includes Operation Task
Force Ranger, Somalia, where he treat-
ed victims of a night mortar attack in
Mogadishu and Operation Uphold
Democracy in Haiti, where he was
hand-picked as the primary Combat
Search and Rescue Team leader. Ish
recognized the need for a dependable
tactical harness during a night helicop-
ter FAST rope insertion when the fixed
leg loops of a standard climbing har-
ness he was wearing snagged on part
of the helicopter, causing him to hang
upside down beneath the belly of the
flying helicopter. As a result of this inci-
dent and other recognized deficiencies
in standard climbing harnesses, he
worked with CMC Rescue to develop
and patent the Integrated Stealth
Harness (ISH™) to accommodate the
Special Operations requirements.

It is critical for air operations rescue equipment to be ergonomically designed so
the operator’s focus can remain on the task at hand and not on operating the
equipment. Harnesses must be easily donned and doffed, straps must be simple
to use, and buckles easy to operate. The equipment also has to meet applicable
performance standards as well as air-worthiness requirements. Whether intended
for rappelling out of a helicopter or attaching a litter to the hoist cable, CMC air
rescue products are designed and manufactured without compromise, and with
the operator in mind.

CMC has revolutionized the realm of short haul operations
with the CMC Short Haul Line. Its synthetic fibers deliver an
unbeatable “strength to weight” ratio. Unlike metallic cables,
the Short Haul line is non-conductive and can be stuffed and
stored in a rope bag without risk of kinking or otherwise
damaging the rope. These characteristics, combined with
low volume storage, a high visibility sheath, and extremely
low stretch (less than 0.5% at 600 lbs); make the CMC
Short Haul Line ideal for all types of short haul operations.
The line comes complete with 1.5 inch diameter stainless
steel thimbles spliced at both ends and is compliant with
Department of Interior Standard 351 DM 1. Custom lengths
are available by special order. Provision available for aircraft
equipped with dual hook systems. Contact our sales depart-

A throwline bag is the safest way to rescue a subject in fast moving or stillwater. It also provides a downstreamsafety backup when rescuers must enterthe water. We recommend 50 footlengths for rafts and boats. River rescuepersonnel should use 50 or 75 footlengths, which is about as far as a bagcan be thrown. The 100 foot length isgood when throwing from a bridge orhigh bank. Throwbags should be kept inpatrol cars, ambulances, and otheremergency response vehicles.

The Cinch Rescue Collar allows a victim to enter the collar from
either side. When loaded, the victim’s weight releases the con-
nector, allowing the collar to “cinch” around the victim.
Used for many years by helicopter crews in
swiftwater or bluewater rescues, the Cinch
Rescue Collar can also be deployed from
land or watercraft. As a flotation device,
the Cinch can be used as a life ring

ResQmax™
Streamline SystemsRescue Solutions has engineered a major upgrade in the ResQmax
Projectiles, making them easier to fill and more durable during use.
The new filler hose assembly features a quick connect fitting for the
projectile and the hose/air bottle connector. The hose/air bottle con-
nector is available for SCBA, SCUBA, and DIN type fittings and con-
nectors can be quickly changed with the quick connect fitting to the
filler hose.
The new nozzle assembly has a quick connect fitting that just
snaps into the nozzle. The new nozzle protectors are glass-
filled nylon and less likely to dent and easier to replace
when needed. The systems opperate at 3,000 psi, which
requires a high-pressure tank to fill the projectile.
The Streamline Projectiles may only be used with the Streamline filler hose assembly – NOT with the original ResQmax assembly.
For a conversion kit to upgrade your current system, see page 141.

CMC ProSeries SRT HarnessUL Classified to NFPA 1983 – Class III
Designed in cooperation with a large Southern California fire department’s aviation unit and USAR teams to meet their
requirements for an ergonomic rescue swimmer harness, the ProSeries SRT Harness combines vertical lift capability
while being worn underneath a PFD. Extensive field testing by Swiftwater Rescue Technicians, USAR Specialists, and
lifeguards resulted in this unique harness design with the following features:
• Y-shape shoulder straps allow freedom of movement for swimming.
• Sternum extension tether positions a carabiner where it’s needed for quick, positive, dynamic hook ups.
• Unique wraparound chest strap provides additional support to help keep the harness from interfering with PFD’s.
• Non-padded leg loops allow greater freedom ofmovement for kicking, but are comfortable duringhoists or short-hauls.
The harness includes a front waist D-Ring for
rappels and a rear waist D-Ring for travel
restraint inside a helicopter. The harness
is manufactured using polyester web to
minimize strength loss when wet and to
allow for quicker drying. Stainless steel
and vinyl coated hardware reduces cor-
rosion from frequent exposure to water.

by Robert Koester
The key element in successful search planning is
making the decisions about where to look. One of
the effective tools is to consider what lost persons
with similar profiles have done in the past. The text
has the latest subject categories; behavioral pro-
files, up to date statistics, suggested initial tasks
and specialized investigative questions. Now with
41 categories and using the statistics from the
International Search & Rescue Incident Database,
a more accurate subject profile can be developed.

RESCUE
Please Read These Important WarningsMany of the activities for which CMC Rescue products are used pose a very
substantial risk of serious injury or death. Be certain you carefully review all of
the following information.
Products manufactured and sold by CMC Rescue, Inc. are intended for use by
professionals trained and experienced in the use, inspection, and maintenance of
these products. All individuals using CMC products must have the same profes-
sional level of skill.
Technical rescue, rappelling, climbing, and the training involved are very haz-
ardous activities. Each situation has its own unique conditions and must be eval-
uated by those present. Effective risk management comes from experience,
proper training, and good personal judgment.
LIMITS OF LIABILITY: CMC is not liable for any damages arising from abuse
or improper use of the equipment, failure to follow adequate safety precautions,
or breach of the duty of either the purchaser or user. Adequate training and
judgment are needed to reduce the risks inherent in the use of this equipment.
Since these risks are out of the control of CMC, the liability shifts to the user and
purchaser.
DUTY OF PURCHASER AND USER: It is the responsibility of the purchaser and
the user of products manufactured by CMC Rescue, Inc. to:
• Read the product instructions and labels and follow them. If you do not have
a copy of the instructions request a copy from CMC Rescue, Inc.,
P. O. Box 6870, Santa Barbara, CA 93160-6870.
• Inspect the product immediately after purchase and before and after each
use. Read the note on inspection below.
• Receive training in the proper use of the equipment and in the appropriate
techniques. Proper training includes safety procedures, limitations of the
equipment, inspection of equipment, and risk management. If you are not
competent in the use of the product, do not use it. See the note on
training below.
• Determine if the product is suitable for its intended use and that it meets all
applicable standards and regulations. The manufacturer can provide assis-
tance, but cannot be expected to be knowledgeable of all worldwide stan-
dards and regulations.
• Use good judgment and do not exceed the limitations of the user's skill or of
the equipment.
• Use adequate safety precautions including belays and backup systems.
Practice risk management at all times.
• Do not alter the product in any way. Repairs must be done only according to
the manufacturer's instructions or returned to the manufacturer for repair.
Alterations may void warranty.
• If the purchaser is not the user of the product, the purchaser must provide
each user with a copy of this notice and the product instructions. If additional
copies of this notice, or the product instructions are needed, they can be
obtained from CMC.
INSPECTION: Each department involved in rescue operations is expected to
have a policy for inspecting high-angle life-support equipment. Inspection should
be no less than after each use and inspections must be done by personnel that
meet the department's training standard for inspecting life-support equipment.
Inspection dates should be recorded on a tag attached to the equipment or in
the equipment log. Each user should be trained in equipment inspection and
should do a cursory inspection before each use.
TRAINING: It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the user is
adequately and competently trained in the use of the product. Training is avail-
able from several sources, including the CMC Rescue School (see catalog pages
8–11 for school information). The publications section of this catalog also
includes a variety of reference guides to assist in the proper selection and use of
the products.

Ordering Terms & ConditionsBy placing an order the customer acknowledges agreement to the terms and con-
ditions stated below and acknowledges having read and understood the important
warnings on page 153. The customer further agrees that the laws of the state of
California shall apply to the purchase or any dispute arising therefrom.
Prices – All prices are FOB Santa Barbara, California and are subject to change
without notice.
Specifications – Specifications in the catalog are based on each manufacturer’s
representations. CMC Rescue, Inc. is not responsible for their accuracy or com-
pleteness. All specifications are subject to change without notice.

ice fee will be charged for any check returned by the bank.

CMC of any problems immediately. Claims reported more than 15 days after

Return Policy – Contact CMC Sales for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA)
number before returning any merchandise for any reason. CMC is not responsible
for merchandise returned without an RMA number. Returned merchandise will be
inspected and may be subject to a restocking fee. Absolutely no returns on rope,
web, web products, or videos, unless the item was received in a damaged condi-
tion and an RMA number requested within 5 days of receipt of shipment. On all
other returns, an RMA must be requested within 15 days of invoice date.
Adult Signature Required on Deliveries – For liability reasons, CMC can

CMC Rescue Limited WarrantyCMC Rescue, Inc. warrants to the original purchaser that CMC manufactured
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. This express
warranty and all implied warranties imposed by law are limited to one year dura-
tion from the date of original purchase. In the event of such a defect during the
warranty period, CMC agrees, at its option, to repair or replace the product
returned under warranty. This warranty does not apply to any damage caused by
misuse, neglect, accident, improper application or installation, or to any damage
caused by any repair or attempted repair not authorized by CMC. No further war-
ranties exist or are implied by CMC due to the high risks involved in rescue
services, and in other activities including, but not limited to, mountaineering, rock
climbing, rappelling, and caving, which risks can be reduced only through the skill,
training, and judgment of the individual participant.
This limited warranty excludes, and CMC shall not be liable for, any incidental,
consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of the breach
of the express or implied warranties on sales by CMC or otherwise. This limited
warranty in no way limits or alters other manufacturers' warranties on products
that are sold or distributed by CMC. Some states do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts nor the exclusion or limitation of incidental or con-
sequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
