I think everybody agrees that it is far better and more realistic to train on vehicles that have 'Collision' damage... How does everyone achieve this?
We are incredibly fortunate that we can get vehicles to train on easily and in the past I have requested that the supplier 'crushes' vehicles in certain ways before they are delivered to station. I've even taken dummies to the scrapyard to be physically trapped into the vehicles. However I don't like asking every time for this, because I feel it's a bit of an extra for them, plus if every watch at the station starts asking it all becomes too much!
I have seen online people using remote load release hooks & lifting vehicles up with cranes and then dropping them from height to create damage.
Following on from the Norwegian rapid extrication method thread I used some relief cuts and a tirfor to pull a car roof down into the passenger space. On the plus side it created accident damage and a physical entrapment. On the downside I had already done a lot of the cuts and made the life of the crew much easier. In the real world it would be bent & buckled rather than cut, so would be more difficult to deal with.
So does anyone have any methods or ideas on creating accident damage?
