mis-types and auto corrects leads cock leeds |
Following the deaths of three soldiers trying for sas selection on the beacon becons through heat exhaustion ... there has been a lady on radio 2 suggesting health and safety procedures should be implemented.
Can you really implement health and safety for the armed forces? The very nature of the job is dangerous |

It is a tough one, because you really don't want people dying o selection but like you said, in the situations they'll find themselves in, the won't be any health and safety.
You just have to know the risks going in to selection and urge them to listen to their bodies and quit when they have to. |

A lad I was in the marines with along with another guy froze to death on exercise in Norway .. tragic events happen the army navy raf don't want to lose personnel they've invested a lot getting them trained
I don't know for certain .. I'm guessing the others on the selection course passed that particular phase .
Seemed a strange place for health and safety ..stop the war it's too hot today.. |

With the military they train hard for a reason.
The SAS training is bloody brutal but it has to be for what they do. They need to be in A1 peak physical fitness and the beacon trek claims its fair share of drop outs.
Before these lads do any section of training they all know what they are getting themselves in for.. They should also be on top of knowing their limits and some push past it and further to the point of exhaustion and death.
So to try and put health and safety into it all would not only detract from the whole point of the exercises but it would lower the level of mental awareness they have, which in turn would make our special forces less effective |
