- Victim suspended on a static support.

Follow the recommendations in the chapter Lowering 150 kg - 250 kg with the I'D S on the anchor.
Note:
If possible, select an anchor close to the victim, to avoid elongation problems with the rope supporting the rescuer when the victim's weight comes onto the rope.
