Effects of simulated firefighting and asymmetric load carriage on firefighter obstacle crossing performance - Angelini MJ, Kesler RM, Petrucci MN, Rosengren KS, Horn GP, Hsiao-Wecksler ET.

Slips, trips, and falls (STF) of firefighters may occur while traversing stationary obstacles. STF risk may be amplified by fatigue from firefighting and carrying an asymmetric load. Vertical and horizontal clearances of the lead (VCL, HCL) and trailing (V...
