All the gear no idea. You would only use this knee method to control
bleeding as a last ditch attempt. If the casualty is unconscious or in too
much pain to help you control the bleeding. Just because you are dealing
with what seems to you just an open wound, there could be internal injuries
such as fractures. Placing your knee on a persons leg could hyper extend
the joints and cause ligament and muscle damage. Get the casualty to help
them selves and you. And don’t slip on the pools of blood.
The SWAT T “must be applied above the knee or elbow.? I could see doing
this if one has a high tib/fib or proximal forearm injury, so as to not
place the tourniquet on a joint. But why cut off blood supply any more
proximal to the injury than neccessary? Thanks for the video.

What do I use if dude’s leg at 6:10 gave me snow blindness?
Move into the sun…red heads are powerless in the light. His legs can’t
hurt you there.
