A routine first aid training session held by the British Association of Ski Patrollers at Glencoe Mountain Resort in Scotland went viral after someone captured still images from a webcam and posted them to the internet. The images which feature three lifeless bodies strewn across their dryslope where like 28,000+ times on Facebook. Looks macabre but it was just some excellent actors playing the role of victim for the exercise. Cheers to all the ski patrollers across the world that keep us safe and tip of the cap to the volunteers who participate in these types of mock rescues. Thank you!
“Just in case anyone is concerned regarding the current images from our dryslope webcam I can confirm it’s just our staff carrying out BASP first aid training.” -Glencoe Mountain Resort
