Hair in Rappel device rescue. (Partial Video)

This has been posted on Facebook allready with lots of discussion. Figured I’d post here as well for historical purposes and I can’t say I’ve seen a video depicting someone stuck a ways up by their hair.
Couple of facts
1. None of us had ever performed a rescue.
2. Very minimal training if any our group had in rescue.
3. This was not our group we were rescuing.
4. The partner of girl stuck did not think 911 or SAR needed to be called.
(We did anyways)
5. We learned valuable hindsight lessons about the Rich Carlson rescue Algorithm.
