High-altitude suicide, see how the fire hydrant saves you!

Most high suicide is the most efficient intentionally or intentionally hurt people take their own lives, but also one of the lowest cost way. High-altitude suicide is a kind of extreme threat behavior that takes place due to the crisis of the individual's personal emotions or to achieve one's own purpose. It is vigilant, passive, and open; the other is to get rid of physical or mental illnesses. These suicides are all active and covert. At present, the main targets of rescues encountered by the fire brigade are mostly the first case.

First, the characteristics of high-altitude suicide incidents

(a) Great social influence. Many high-altitude suicide seekers are not subjectively willing to commit suicide, but through this behavior, in order to attract attention from the government, the unit, the family, the individual, or the society. Therefore, they often choose to be able to be used by busy people in downtown areas or places of concentration. The place of discovery. For example: A man jumps to the building on the fifth floor of a hotel near a train station to commit suicide. At that time, the man clutched the window on the 5th floor of the hotel with his hands and stepped on the window sill with both feet, feeling very excited. When the firefighters arrived at the scene of the accident, crowds of people were already crowded, and vehicles entering and leaving the South Station were seriously blocked. In such an environment, on the one hand, it affects the sentiments of the Slave, and on the one hand, it brings great psychological pressure to the rescue of the fire brigade. Therefore, when firefighting forces participate in the rescue, they must be carefully arranged and exercise caution.

(b) The rescue is difficult. Many people who jumped from the building were at the top of the building, edges, windowsills, windows, and other critical areas. For example, a man in the top building of the hospital's emergency department wanted to jump to the floor because of emotional problems. At that time, the commander took a closer look at the situation on the site. Because the man below the position of the boy was a podium and the platform of the podium could not be accessed, the rescue air cushion could not be laid; and the man who jumped from the building refused to listen to the persuasion. Not down, emotionally excited. In order to prevent the rescuers from approaching, the jumping man even pulled the guard rails in both hands and suspended himself in the air to threaten the firefighters. Firefighters who are forcibly approached can easily cause drastic changes in the sentiment of the rescued person, and they can take radical actions to end their lives at any time. Various factors have increased the difficulty of rescue.

(c) Poor predictability. The acts of suicide by high-altitude suicide seekers have sudden characteristics. In spite of a lot of preparations during the rescue process, due to various reasons, once the contradictions intensify, the tragedy will occur rapidly. For example: After drinking a man, he climbed more than 40 meters in Ningbo Bridge to suspense. At that time, the bridge jumper stood on the top of the bridge, which was over 40 meters away from the bridge , and no rescue air cushion could be laid on the bridge. Even if the rescue air cushion was laid , it would not have any effect on the height of more than 40 meters. The situation of on-site rescue is very urgent. In other words, the success and failure of the rescue is in the hands of the Saviors. Rescue workers are very passive and the rescue results are difficult to predict.

(d) long time to rescue. Most of the people living in high altitudes are not easy to persuade, and it is difficult to communicate with each other. The time of confrontation between rescue parties will be longer. Spontaneous people are mainly due to psychological frustration or heavier injuries. They are difficult to erase psychological trauma, emotionally stubborn, and their judgment ability and thinking ability are already very fragile. To do their ideological work, rescue workers must have patience, not Stopped the land to persuade, enlighten, attract attention, but can not have verbal stimuli, so that in a critical moment, under full grasp, rescue workers are likely to take enforcement action. For example: more than 1:00, a 18-year-old "naked man" climbed the event want to commit suicide on State Road 15 meters high billboards. Rescue workers have been deadlocked with slaughterers for nearly seven hours before they were persuaded.

Second, the current shortage of high-altitude light rescue

(i) Lack of systematic training. High-altitude rescue workers are generally borne by the firefighting forces. However, our firefighting department still lacks the necessary systematic learning of such rescue knowledge and psychological knowledge. This is especially true for grassroots front-line commanders who have no knowledge of such rescues. The situation is often observed at the scene of the incident.

(b) occupy a large number of social and public resources. The fire-fighting force is a professional team. In addition to eliminating fires, it is also responsible for emergency rescue. As a grass-roots squadron, although the fire-fighting forces have made considerable progress in recent years, due to the constraints of personnel equipment, a city’s Disposal power is limited, and such high-altitude rescue operations involve many personnel, take a long time, are difficult to rescue, and have great uncertainty, which greatly affects the fire fighting forces’ normal combat readiness and other fire fighting. Rescue mission.

Third, several major aspects of the disposal of high-altitude suicide incidents

(I) On-site reconnaissance

After the fire and rescue personnel arrive at the scene, they should investigate the situation from the following three aspects:

1. Observe the exact locations, approximate heights, and adjacencies of the sky-lighters at the scene.

2. Quickly grasp the main reasons for high-altitude suicide.

3. Determine the location of rescue vehicles and the type of rescue equipment, and choose the protective measures and rescue personnel's offensive routes.

(II) On-site alert

1. Control onlookers and passing vehicles at the rescue site and major traffic intersections to ensure that the words and deeds of the onlookers do not stimulate the sky-lighters.

2. Evacuate the site to watch crowds of people and vehicles and provide a good environment and place for rescue operations.

3. Evacuate persons (including relatives, media, etc.) and onlookers involved in incidents of high-altitude slaughterers from the scene, avoiding certain sensitive individuals or over-stimulating words and stimulating suspicious individuals and forcing juvenile offenders to take drastic actions.

(III) On-site negotiation

On-site negotiation is to ask rescue workers to persuade and persuade airborne people to voluntarily give up overly aggressive actions by providing facts, reasoning, and using effective psychological strategies and techniques.

1 , good at using negotiation skills.

The special squadron of the special squadron has specialized psychiatrist training and psychology counselor qualification squadron officers as commanders to negotiate and communicate with slaughterers. Commanders have excellent mental qualities, patience, and sense of responsibility. They also have meticulous and sensitive qualities. They are good at using various negotiation techniques to persuade slanderers. 2 , smartly collect information.

The commander should understand and communicate with the relatives of the upper-air suicides, the people he knows, and the people who know the situation on the spot, so as to grasp the basic situation of the teenagers in a timely manner, and to find out the main reasons for the suspicious students to want to take suicide.

3. Strengthen communication and exchange between the two parties.

Commanders should listen more and talk less, listen to the prostitutes, and build a foundation for trust, so that they can communicate with each other, communicate with each other, and build a harmonious atmosphere. In a guiding language, he guided suicides to vent their emotions, observe reactions, and channel and persuade their aggressive behaviors and emotions. Such as "little things useful?", "Does this solve the problem?", "There are problems you can discuss, you can solve!" And so on.

4. Choose the right negotiation strategy.

When the high-altitude suicide seeker's mood is stable, they must actively discuss with the suspicious individual the main problem of the problem, understand the real cause, and propose suggestions for solving the problem. In order to properly resolve contradictions and problems, the suspicious individual's state of mind is balanced and the idea of ​​giving up suicide is automatically given up. Such as "lost love to find their lover to the scene," "the children are not filial piety to find children to the scene" , "not to find employers or government leaders to pay attention to solve the problem."

(d) to start operations

The rescue operation can be divided into passive rescue and active rescue.

1 , passive rescue:

A , life-saving air cushion. This is mainly a life-saving method that is used when a high-altitude suicide seeker fails to persuade or crash suddenly. When using air cushion, the air pressure cannot be overcharged (air pressure is sufficient for about 95% is appropriate), the charge is excessive, and the suicide is easy to drop. A rebound occurs, causing secondary damage. The air cushion should be placed directly below, and four to six people should be arranged around the air cushion to stabilize the air cushion and protect the safety of the slaughterers. According to the position of the suicide person and the direction of the fall, adjust the air cushion in a timely manner to prevent it from falling. And master rescue height, can not exceed 10m .

B. Life-saving nets. This is mainly an emergency method that can be used when the Saviors lose their reason or take excessive actions, and other equipment is too late to open, or cannot be opened due to constraints of the venue, environment and location. Usually, 6 to 8 people pull the net edge, quickly open the liferaft net, and are under the sky-along and adjust the net point according to the position and direction of the fall. The maximum height cannot exceed 6m , and 5m or less is safer.

2 , active rescue:

If you are stubborn, do not listen to persuasion, or take proactive measures for long-term confrontation, you will be rescued. Generally, under special circumstances, when other measures cannot be taken, the rescue personnel carry safety ropes, safety belts, safety hooks, and other equipment to the upper layers of the upper-air suicide person or the favorable terrain around them. Select a fixed fulcrum or rescue team to do a good job of protection. When the time is ripe, implement active rescue measures for slaughterers, or use the inertial effect of slide-down ropes to push suicide victims into rooms or platforms and save them safely.

IV. Precautions in Rescue Treatment at High Altitude

(a) The site is carefully planned. When rescue workers arrive at the scene, they should do the necessary precautions, such as erecting life-saving air cushions, hanging life-saving nets, etc., in case of any accidents. In addition, careful consideration should be given to the preparation of multiple plans and a variety of plans should be formulated. If one does not work, an alternative plan should be implemented immediately.

(b) Strengthen self-protection. High-altitude light aid, under normal circumstances, as rescue workers we will have some contact with the sky-alonggoers, that is to say, our rescue workers will be in a dangerous place like the suicide. In addition, rescue workers need to make necessary communication with the Saviors or take active actions. They will have physical contact with the Slave offenders. Once they are resisted, the safety of rescue workers will be difficult to guarantee. Therefore, we must do our own protection work.

(c) Ensure that the facilities are good. When rescue personnel use life-saving air cushions and life-saving nets, they must not exceed the safe height, and personnel must be set up around the perimeter to prevent secondary damage caused by impact when falling. In addition, there must be no sharp objects on the ground where the air cushion is placed and nearby to prevent air cushion damage and affect rescue.

(d) ensure the success of the rescue. When using fire ladders and climbing fire engines to rescue them, be sure to wait until the upper-air suicide person is emotionally stable, automatically give up his idea of ​​being suicidal and willing to accept the rescue. Then, when the emotional instability is still in a state of volatility, it is easy to have excessive stimulation behavior.
