In this first video, Keith Luscinski describes how to use the ZIGZAG mechanical Prusik in a few partner rescue applications. He goes through two different techniques for using the ZIGZAG during a rescue. First, he addresses the scenario in which the rescuer and the victim stay on independent systems throughout the rescue. Then, he examines the scenario in which the rescuer and the victim do an accompanied descent together on a single ZIGZAG.
