@hardstylekc From what I know there's no such thing as a weight limit. It will be up to the site to review the medical, decide if there's any comorbidites or risk thst comes with that weight. depends on the task as well. Some seats of equipment have weight restrictions.

ahh Gotcha, I get your context now. I've worked across many underground mines and recruited multiple mine site ERT. Definitely, unless the sitr for some reason decides to make it a policy, there's no such thing as a weight restriction.

My understanding was and this is going back years ago, that you couldn't be heaver than what a rescue team could carry. Obviously times have changed and if that's not the case then it's a bad day for a rescue team getting a 130 to 140kg up an escape way. Thanks Nick
