There are many of us in the profession who feel that AR has become something other than it was intended to be. The premise is good, but the speed element is ludicrous. It is not just the Jamboree, in order to pass the EHAP program you had to "rescue" someone in less than 4 minutes. We have been more concerned with speed than safety.
We are currently working on overhauling the entire AR system. We are looking at other high angle disciplines, (towers, rock climbing etc.), in combination with the Red Cross to redesign AR. Any suggestions for improving AR would be greatly appreciated.
