The 77 year-old woman fell about 130 ft from a helicopter, after rescue workers failed to secure her safety harness correctly during an evacuation procedure in Iwaki city, about 195 km north east of Tokyo.

she must have mumbled something about "seizing the means of production" or something

Maybe they got her to door and realized she was a commie?

She almost made it inside.

Only Pinochet is supposed to do that!

Oppski.  Most unfortunate for her.

First thing I do before starting to put the victim into a full harness is just a tubular webbing girth hitch around their chest and clip them in.  I can do it in less than 2 seconds and I’ve got a hasty leash if things go bad quickly.

Obviously I never want to load a girth hitch around their chest because it would suck.  Put the full harness (or whatever system you use) in place over the webbing and get on with it.

That would be horrifying. You're practically inside the helicopter too. Poor lady.

Actually appropriately used here.

This thread doesn't strike me as one that feels okay to make jokes at the victim's expense.

Yikes.  That suck to watch.

Well, the investigation should be short.  No question as to who’s fault that was.

I hate to say it, but this.
Statistics will eventually catch up.

There have been a shit-ton of people who needed to be evacuated after the Super Typhoon that just rolled through.

Me too. She died in '03 so that would've been odd for sure.

Although I would be interested in finding out how she made it to Tokyo.

Yep.

Go into the countryside, and the average age gets OLD very quickly.

I was behind a line of 3 cars the other day with the Yotsuba sticker.

ETA: The "Yotsuba decal" is required by law to be placed on a vehicle operated by a person age 75 and older.

I appreciate humor in situations where there shouldn’t be any.

But I agree with you on this one.

If she did survive, she is a high fall risk per the Morse fall scale.
