That car must have a good roll cage. The front passenger door still works.

I'm not suggesting, but just saying that most if not all majors may be in jeopardy of him missing....7 weeks from The Masters... This is no good.
It he plays a major this year, it surely would be a miracle. I just hope that he is able to lead a normal life and be there for his kids, even if he never plays a competitive round again.I'm not suggesting, but just saying that most if not all majors may be in jeopardy of him missing....
James Hinchcliffe would like to join the conversation as well.I’m no expert, but I believe Alex Smith had some life-threatening complications from his compound fracture.
I was hoping you would chime in. I saw them used once for my brother, after a horrific car accident. It was very interesting to watch, given that we have all heard or used the ominous phrase, “jaws of life.”I would recommend not getting hung up on if "jaws" were used or not. They are an extension of patient care only, and typically do not correlate to a bad accident or not.
Jaws of life is a trademarked sales slogan used by Hurst Rescue tools. There are no such things as jaws. There are spreaders, cutters, rams, and combo spreaders cutters.
Extrication is the most common form of technical rescue. They are used everyday from anything from a simple door pop to industrial accidents and heavy equipment. These can occur with or without injuries.
Use of these tools are dictated by conditions, not by injuries.
These are hydraulic or battery powered, most commonly.
Although we typically correlate use of extrication equipment with very bad accidents or injuries, its not necessarily true.
I will say that LAFD is highly proficient with such tools and rescue company operations, so whatever they did was most likely correct.
I am an SME and have taught Extrication all over the country, as well as having been in special operations for 15 years now.
Just food for thought; I figured I'd offer my knowledge of the subject for us golfers. We already know I don't have the golf knowledge to offer....

Hopefully Tiger can recover and have a pain free life. I would be surprised to see him play another Professional event. I hope he does.
Appreciate the information, it is enlightening.I would recommend not getting hung up on if "jaws" were used or not. They are an extension of patient care only, and typically do not correlate to a bad accident or not.

I think the pain free life is a horse far out of the barn door. As somebody who has had some back injuries, it is something I feel every single day and what I have gone through pales in comparison to five surgeries for Tiger.Hopefully Tiger can recover and have a pain free life. I would be surprised to see him play another Professional event. I hope he does.
It's really irrelevant. I've seen the jaws used on a simple fender bender because the door couldn't be opened. It doesn't change the story or the severity of the accident.Now they saw that the "jaws of life" were not used according to the Sheriff. Love the media!
The sherrif said they used an extrication device, so that could lead to the confusion, but hey, any chance to take a shot at the “media”It's really irrelevant.

That's where I am at this point. His back is jacked which means he was already going to be living with pain the rest of his life. This has the chance to add to that. Quality of life is on the line at this point. That means more than any major.It he plays a major this year, it surely would be a miracle. I just hope that he is able to lead a normal life and be there for his kids, even if he never plays a competitive round again.
