their strength when raising the casualty, so the mechanical advantage is greater (4:1).

Si el punto de anclaje se encuentra a nivel de los pies, el
sistema no podrá elevar a la víctima lo suficiente como para
volver atraerla al punto de partida. La víctima deberá ser
elevada para poder soltar su cordón y después descenderla
a un puntoseguro. Además, el rescatador deberá utilizar
su fuerza al elevar a la víctima, de manera que la ventaja
mecánica es mayor(4:1).
Si el anclaje se encuentra 1,5 m. por encima del nivel de
los pies, preferentemente a nivel de la cabeza, será posible
elevar ala víctima hasta su punto de partida. Para esto, el
