DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SIMULATING A TRANSPORTATION EMERGENCY

摘要

Devices for simulating a transportation emergency are disclosed. The devices have a base with a framework of interconnected supports extending therefrom as a skeletal portion of a simulated transportation device and defining a chamber configured to receive a human or a medical-training manikin. Within the chamber a seat for receiving the human or the medical-training manikin is disposed. The framework defines one or more openings representative of access openings into the simulated transportation device such that a first responder in-training can receive instructions on how to assist a victim positioned in the simulated transportation device. The framework also defines one or more open frames representative of structural features of the simulated transportation device that block access to the victim such that realistic training occurs. The device may include one or more props such as a telescoping steering column, a prying simulator, a foot pedal unit, and a side impact bar.

1. A device for simulating a transportation emergency comprising:
a base; a framework of interconnected supports extending from the base as a skeletal portion of a simulated transportation device and defining a chamber configured to receive a human or a medical-training manikin; a seat, for receiving the human or the medical-training manikin, disposed within the chamber; and a telescoping steering column having a steering wheel at one end thereof; wherein the framework defines one or more openings representative of an access opening into the simulated transportation device and one or more open frames representative of structural features of the simulated transportation device that block access to the chamber; wherein lengthening the telescoping steering column positions the steering wheel closer to or against the chest of the human or the medical-training manikin thereby simulating a collision that pushed the steering column toward the human or the medical-training manikin.
