Rescue Support to Outback Challenge

By Paul Shrubb - 1 year ago

4 X 4 Outback Challenge

Problem:
The event challenged vehicles, drivers and navigators to some of the most high risk and challenging 4 X 4 conditions in the world. The stages took their toll on the machines… and the teams.

Solution:
Risk Response + Rescue provided specialist support to an area spanning 100's of square kilometres surrounding Broken Hill.

During the event RR+R personnel attended several incidents.

A RR+R medic was quoted as saying ‘the drivers treat their bodies the same as the vehicles... pushing them to the limit and breaking point.

Outcome:

The week was not without incident and the services of RR+R were greatly appreciated. Several roll-overs, a number of end-over-enders, snapped winch cables - vehicles, drivers and navigators pushed to breaking point!
