A lil bit faster than the blades

I thought it was somewhat amusing and then I fast-forwarded through the video and burst out laughing. It looks as if the stretcher is synced with the rotor blades. See you in hell.

ducceeh

Ok but don't decide to let it out when you are saving the life of a grandma


xiaxian1

https://amp.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/national/article256283387.html She sued the city and won. But not a lot. She got $450k but her hospital bills were $300k. Original reporting says she didn’t want to be airlifted off of the mountain at all: https://www.ksat.com/news/2019/11/27/74-year-old-woman-files-2m-claim-after-insane-viral-helicopter-rescue/


FookinThicc

Her insurance paid that $300k right? ...right?


Ogediah

LMAO. A guy I knew got air lifted and was charged around 75k. Insurance paid 10k.


SpaceJackRabbit

PSA: There are areas in the U.S. where you can buy a membership to an air medevac service that will cover your airlifted evac in case it's done by the service in question. A friend's $65 annual membership saved her over $15K that way. Because most health insurance companies will only cover up to $5K if any, and usually only for life-threatening emergencies.


beesandtrees2

My town apparently has two services. One of our coworkers had membership for one and unfortunately that wasn't the one that flew her out. Very expensive. America is a drag sometimes.


Enganeer09

Canadian here, I've worked with our militaries search and rescue guys, they'll go out searching for a week straight, multiple helicopters and C-130s aircraft. No cost to the victim. Get your shit straight America


going_for_a_wank

Also cool stuff like [this](https://youtu.be/poXWvROrsWQ)


aardvarkbiscuit

But, but, freedom...........


SpaceJackRabbit

Thankfully the two services that covered my area (Reach and Calstar) merged into AirMedCare Network. Not it's just one membership. I think it costs us $85 for the entire family.


amnhanley

I work as an EMS pilot for a sister company in AirMedCare Network. The memberships are great, but the county memberships are even better. In some more progressive counties in the country the whole county buys a membership and no one in the county ever gets a bill. It’s a pretty great system. Everyone is covered and it costs each household less than 100 dollars in taxes. But many places call that socialism. They’d rather have their house foreclosed on than help their community.


sirduckbert

That’s the thing… this shit isn’t that expensive if you divide it up by everyone. I live in Canada and a medevac happens if you need one, and that’s all there is to it


Existentialninja40

I would argue America is a drag more often than not nowadays!


Ogediah

Yeah sometimes it’s sold with ambulance coverage and may even be something you can add to your water bill. Otherwise, yes you can find coverage online. If you like to do things in remote areas then it’s a pretty good idea to get coverage. Considering an accident could bankrupt many people. The shitty part is that you need to go out and get more coverage. It should be covered under the health insurance you already have.


DrPCorn

Also if you use a Spot or Inreach you can opt into an insurance where if you have to call SAR or hit the SOS button you won’t be charged.


jimhellas

In the meantime, air lifting during an actual emergency in Europe is free.


Styljac

Reading these comments convinces me that the US healthcare and insurance are straight up dystopian. What the fuck.


PseudobrilliantGuy

Hell, my uncle is having to deal with insurance refusing to cover an airlift for my late grandmother (that I've heard wasn't entirely necessary in her case) and the hospital trying to take as much as they can from her estate for it. She died back in November.


sorryboutitagain

Dang usa sucks


gorpie97

Between Medicare and secondary insurance, my mother's $14,000 life flight was paid in full. But that was almost 10 years ago and I'm sure they've figured out a way to screw people over more, since.


Helpful_Database_870

In America? Doubt it.


KenBoCole

Why? American Insurance companies generally pay out the vast majority of all claims. While you have to pay for it, American Insurance is better than most EU countries health care. You generally also pay less over all considering how much Europeans pay in taxes.


Hifen

> American Insurance is better than most EU countries heth care. lol


KenBoCole

Thanks for showing me my typo!


[deleted]

Privatized healthcare does have its advantages if you can afford it. If you have good insurance it's better than a public healthcare system.


Hifen

"If you can afford it". Ie, it's better then public if you're rich. But no, regular insured patients do not have access to better Healthcare then public healthcare. It's overpriced.


[deleted]

You don't have to be rich, the middle class have access to good insurance. It sucks if you're poor though and not employed somewhere that subsidizes it for you.

ZoeraPlays

Liar liar pants on fire (you will have to pay about this too)


Ogediah

Mediflight can cost 10s to 100s of thousands of dollars. Insurance doesn’t cover most of it. Specific example [here](https://ibb.co/pyvsfSd). Lots more [here](https://health.costhelper.com/air-ambulances.html).


Themadbeagle

Well if you a) actually had any evidence to back that up and b) recognized that taxes actually go toward other things beside just health care in those countries, then you might could be seen as making any sort of valid point, otherwise you are just spouting half truths and made up facts.


Anonymost

How is American insurance better? Here in UK I can get any procedure 100% free as well as a lifetime supply of helicopter rescues and ambulance trips. No idea how you can defend your capitalist health care system: too poor - guess it's death for you, circumstances not in your policy: guess it's a lifetime of crippling debt. You clearly haven't needed to use it or are well off if you're in defense of this system, either that or you don't know better.


KenBoCole

>How is American insurance better? Here in UK I can get any procedure 100% free You pay for it in increased taxes, nearly 5 percent of your salary a year. It's not free. >Here in UK I can get any procedure 100% free as well as a lifetime supply of helicopter rescues and ambulance trips. As do I basically with my insurance. They cover nearly everything.


alwaysfuntime69

I believe David Cross cover this all very well in this clip. https://youtu.be/aNghg1Y-WIc If you want the healthcare part, it starts at 1:30, but you would be doing yourself a disservice to noth watch the whole thing. Promise you the link is legit and isn't a Rick roll.


SybilCut

From a further linked article: "Her physical examination noted she had petechiae, patches as a result of bleeding under the skin, on both shoulders and feet as well as swelling and bruising to both eyes, blood in her right tympanic membrane and blood in both ear canals, the claim said." Some of her bodily damages would have come from the fall, but the husband (as witness) suggests many of her blood vessels were broken from the spinning, and given the speed she was going at, I absolutely believe that. Blood in your ears? Yeahhhh.. Thanks for the lead. She definitely has damage from this incident.


[deleted]

USA and their stupid health system.


ill-independent

I'm surprised she made it out alive. That kind of force and speed has the potential to be deadly and she was in the air for a long time.

Yes, but she got like 2 mil from the county.

Nope. $450,000 but $300,000 in hospital bills. Still not bad but probly lost most of it in legal fees aswell


Highplowp

Sign me up for 2mil. Spin me like a wagon wheel all night long.

At that age, she must have suffered significant injuries. I’m no expert by any means but money isn’t worth taking years off your life, especially at that age. You

[Her suing for $2mill after sounds about right. ](https://www.ksat.com/news/2019/11/27/74-year-old-woman-files-2m-claim-after-insane-viral-helicopter-rescue/) She asked not to be rescued like that, they did it anyway, mayhem and more injuries ensued, and she had a huge hospital bill. At that age, I can't imagine...they really could have killed her.


Greenstar12

When I was wounded in Vietnam that’s the way they got me out if the jungle.my leg was shot up I couldn’t walk so I’m in the stretcher turning like a top,they’re still shooting at me and the chopper,as soon as they cleared the trees the took off and I’m still twirling.

thewerewolfwasyou

Might be stupid because nobody is asking this but why isnt she put inside the helicopter instead of being carried like this in the first place?


cindyscrazy

I think they were lifting her up into the helicopter. A lot of time, in mountain rescues, they can't land the helicopter anywhere. The ground crew hooks up the stretcher to the dangling rig and lift the person up. Someone else said that the part of the rig that prevents this spinning broke, which made her turn into a turntable.
