Thanks to everyone involved in this project. These small, incremental, ergonomic changes will make our sport safer when it matters most. For those who’ve not seen- video results here: youtu.be/IlJMTXMcn5w @ExtEnvLab_UoP @UoPSportScience

So proud of everyone involved in this work. What can we learn from 140 #paraglider #pilots deploying their reserve parachutes at up to 4 G? Watch and find out!

Delighted to be on @cloudbasemayhem this week to discuss our paragliding safety research. We talk accident stats, hypoxia, cold, reserve deployment and Mont Blanc. The research has been a huge team effort, thanks so much to everyone involved so far.

Enormous thanks to @ChocTree Edinburgh for donating kilos of their incredible chocolate to the Critical Care Unit at the Royal Infirmary. Surely the ultimate morale booster for a weekend on call?! @riecriticalcare #chocolate #nhs

Strong research needs to be built with good tools. Congrats to James Moore for demonstrating that fatigue, like sleep, may lead to misdiagnosis of AMS using the LLS. @MartinMacInnis @itravelhealth #lakelouisescore #altitude #highaltitude doi.org/10.1089/ham.2019.011…

Inspired by this paper in @FrontNeurosci: the authors used fNIRS in a #flightsim and then repeated the same tasks in real flight. The differences underlined the need for ecologically valid experiments in #aviationmedicine @Aero_Med frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Just landed in #Houston (no problems thus far).
Time to brush up on my #spacemedicine courtesy of this great article by @spaceman_pete @Bonposselt @_TheSpaceDoc and @Kevin_Fong before visiting @NASA_Johnson - the kind of @BJAJournals #anesthesiacpd I enjoy. x.com/bonposselt/status/9315…

Checklists don’t have to be lists: excellent presentation from @NASAAmes group using eye tracking to compare Linear vs. Topic Blocks vs. Topic Blocks with Treatment designs. Room for a redesign @AAGBI @dasairway @RCoANews?

Astonishing demonstration of humanity and support for other climbers from the Polish team on #K2. A sad loss of one of their countrymen but an outstanding achievement to rescue Elizabeth Revol. x.com/ExpedMedicine/status/9…

#NangaParbat: Reached Elisabeth!
Denis Urubko and Adam Bielecki have met Elisabeth in the vicinity of C2 (6100m). She will now be assisted to lower altitudes, where Piotr Tomala and Jarosław Bator await.
Further course of action to reach Tomek isn't known at the moment.

At 13:40 Pakistani time (9:40 Polish), two helicopters took four Polish climbers for rescue in #NangaParbat. Keep your fingers crossed. bit.ly/2DGM7iI
