Elevator Rope Rescue (Part 3 of 6) | Trapped in Elevator | Firefighter Elevator Rescue Training

In this firefighter elevator rope rescue training video, instructor Chris Smity demonstrates the proper way to assemble a double long tailbone rope rescue knot when preparing for an elevator entrapment rescue.

Below is the video transcription:

Double long tail bone.

I try to tie them in a snap configuration. We don't need huge tails for this because we have an objective that we're getting to. So all I'm going to do is get to about here. I got two strands of rope. I could drop these. All I'm doing is pushing this forward. You see how I did that?

Take these and stuff them through. Reach through, grab these tails. Pull. Done.

What can we replace this double long tail bone with? Two butterflies at the end of the day if you want to be at the end of the knot and you don't want no tails You don't need the tails. What can we put here two figure eights on a bite?

We just found out the way we do this. I can suck this up in this system and It's nice and pretty and now I have my two tails for belays or whatever I want to do and I'm still connected a rope through this knot .

And then the other caveat is try to dress them up. You want them to be pretty because pretty knots operate pretty.
