This system may be faster to deploy and facilitates quicker transitions to get additional rescuers to the bottom. Advantages: The rescuer has complete control of his movement on the rope.In this application the rope is fixed and the descent-control device is moving. The rescuer attaches a rope to an anchor and rigs the descent control device. This can be time consuming.Ī moving-brake system uses a descent-control device attached to a rescuer. Additionally, this requires the rope to be hauled back up if subsequent rescuers are needed. Disadvantages: There is a high propensity for delays due to communications regarding when and how the rescuer wants to move. Many rescue organizations view this as a safer approach because it places the descent-control device in a much more static location than being attached to the rescuer.
