I'll see what other pics I can dig up.
Wish I could've gotten pictures of people trying to do chest compressions standing up without holding onto anything in the back of the ambulance as it kept speeding up and breaking.

LOL
Maybe I should take an EMS class. Sounds like fun.

AWESOME!
That's what I did this summer!
I was the victim though. My friend was the belligerent drunk who decided to put a little spice into the scenario by resisting arrest.

The news rolled a tape of me later that night with me screaming my head off... I think I was saying "I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS! OH MY GOD, DID YOU CHOP MY LEGS OFF?!"

More details! More details!

HAHA. It's great playing victim in these things. Great when the proctor lets you go all out, too.

::Whisper::
On a lot of domestic violence practice scenarios, I let stuff get out of hand and escalate just for kick of things. I'll notice the the object that could be used as a weapon, but I won't secure it, b/c I want the cop (who is role-playing the suspect) to try to run for it, so I can jump and tackle him ;-)

LOL
It was at a college, so I had an audience of like 1000+ people which was awesome.
And the Deputy told me that if I wasn't convincing and didn't scream loud enough he'd hit me in the head with his baton lol you gotta love threats from your advisors lol
He actually DID end up smacking the Fire Explorer after they covered him up with the blanket next to me, because he refused to scream.

LOL tackling a cop that sounds like FUN. I outweigh my advisor I could actually bring him down I bet... that's kinda sad...

WE do something similar for my EMS class.

Last time we did scenarios, I was a gunshot victim (the guy who "shot" me is with the forest service in real life) and kept yelling, "That sonofabitch shot me and he can't aim!" The class had a hard time keeping a straight face through the exercise.

Haha. Oh, I was making my class crack up so much. I just pretended/imagined I really was drunk and started being as silly as I could and remembering all the silly ways I've seen drunks act. Half the trouble in strapping me down was I kept wiggling, but the other half was interrupting them by making them laugh. That'll teach 'em to appoint me the victim in a scenario... ;-)

LOL
It never even occured to me to start cursing.
The EMS people made jokes about me dying after they covered me with the sheet and I started laughing... it was hilarious.
I used to hate scenario things like in DARE (mostly cuz its so corny and not fun like 911 things are) but now they are AWESOME.
I'm gonna do a columbine-style one with SWAT team later this year. Good times.
