You probably forgot to remove them before your emergency the other day.
I'm glad I haven't run into stuff like this on my preflights:

Ankle-biters fall off the airframe at around 40 knots. Don't worry. Just let the Tower know you FODed the runway.

A little late now, isn't it?:wink2:

Never too late!

Kimberly, perhaps you should reply in private to Grant and let him know what you think.

Grant and I already emailed about it last night. The rest is up to him.
 
No. We didn't really talk about that kind of stuff. I was very sheltered.

Well then, make sure you leave the house with clean undies. Think of what would happen if you were in an accident. Those poor paramedics and nurses have to take your clothes off and if you have no underwear they might be confused.

Besides it is against FAA rules. They consider them safety equipment. ;)

If I'm involved in a crash of any type I'm quite sure I won't have clean undies anyway...:yikes:

'Cause first you say it, then you do it.

(Yeah, this thread pretty much cratered!)
 
Great.

Now at my next ramp check the FAA guy is going to want to make sure they're clean, too!

I've been in ambulances enough times on both sides of the stretcher belts that I'll be happy never to ride in one again.
 
Did they cut your clothes off with scissors?

Yes, on one ride, they did. For the record, I had on clean underwear. It was not in the glove compartment as Bill Cosby describes in his story.

And when I was the medic in back, cutting off clothes was common. Typically the patient had experienced significant trauma, was not concious, and cutting the (often bloody) clothing away was the only way to assess and treat the patient. If you've got to put a large bore IV into a leg, or check for a flail chest, or heck, practically ANYTHING, you've got to expose the body if the patient isn't awake to tell you what they're feeling or to get access to the things you need to treat.

Oh so the scissors is only when I'm not awake? Oh good. Hoping they give me those modesty gowns too. The ugly paper blue ones.
 
No, the scissors might still come out when you're awake, but you'll know why... like "we have to cut your jacket away so we can see where all this blood is coming from", or "so we can cover up this bone that's sticking out of your arm".

One of the first thing I teach a new paramedic/EMT, "You can't treat it if you can't see it."
