What type of rescue may require specialized training compared to standard rope rescue?

Specialized training is often needed for different types of rescue scenarios due to the unique challenges and hazards they present. A high-angle rescue involves working on vertical or steep terrains where rescuers must navigate complex systems of ropes and harnesses, as well as manage the risks associated with elevation. Water rescue requires knowledge of water dynamics, the behavior of individuals in distress in water, and safety considerations such as hypothermia or drowning prevention. Urban rescue scenarios may involve searching and navigating through structures, dealing with debris, and potentially hazardous materials, all necessitating specific skills and techniques. Therefore, all of these types of rescue require specialized training to ensure the safety of both the rescuers and those being rescued.
