New function: rope anchor in actual cliff rescue (Laguna Beach Lifeguard R1S)

[UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan]

Posted by Laguna Beach Lifeguards:

Our lifeguard vehicles have the ability to act as anchor points for technical rescue situations such as a coastal cliff rescue

Captured here: The LBLG Rivian was used as an anchor point for the rescuer’s belay line for a victim stuck along the cliff at Crescent Bay Point Park.

Is there anything you can't do with a Rivian?!?

Carplay?

This just in, lifeguard finally gets to use their high school physics knowledge of mass and leverage.

Meanwhile, the Nissan truck previously driven for the last 20 years was set to pasture with 20k miles of beach driving…

And farting

If it were me doing the rigging I’d make a dead point using both recovery hooks. Two points is pretty standard practice when setting ropes.

I've been an anchor in a vehicle recovery. Still ended up getting dragged a little.

I urge all Rivian owners to get stuck on the cliffs at Laguna Beach. This is excellent free marketing. My underwater RIVN portfolio thanks you.

Don't worry. A quick Google search will show you there are no shortage of tourons who get stuck on those cliffs, every month.

Awesome! I wish my dept would use rivians. Imagine EDV's converted into ambulances, using rivians as chief vehicles, light rescue vehicles.

Silly tourists. There's a perfectly good ramp down to the beach. I scuba dive there pretty often. Haven't bumped into RJ though.

As much as I like my R1T, it's not the vehicle I would choose for sand. Not without some ultra wide tires that may not fit.

That's an @COdogman worthy response
