Dr. Ron Hood showed how to tie 3 of them together, back-to-back-to-back to make some sort of treble hook for catching fish, frogs, or birds!

Pinning the tongue to the cheeks to keep an airway open. This is a "last chance" fix for maintaining an airway with an unconscious patient.

Ow! Oh, jees. Ouch! Ow! Oh, man. That hurts just reading it!

Can you use them to pin someone's mouth shut?

[Rick]

Mmmm. mmmmmm. mmmmm!

[Sarge47]

Mmmm. mmmmmm. mmmmm!

Argh! He got me with that one!

[AdventureDoc]

Mmmm. mmmmmm. mmmmm!

Even I laughed at this one!

[Rick]

Easy for you to say. I'm still sitting here feeling my tongue and cheek.

[nell67]

Ok Rick,you even got a snicker out of me for that one!

"Pin" it on me why don't you?

Pinning the tongue to the cheeks to keep an airway open. This is a "last chance" fix for maintaining an airway with an unconscious patient. When a person is unconscious, the tongue naturally wants to fall towards gravity...back of the throat and occlude the ariway. Literally pierce the tongue, on both sides, with the safety pins and pierce the cheeks through. Close the pins and the tongue is mechanically kept from occluding the ariway. Not the best, but better than nothing.

AHHH CRAP!!!!! That is too much detail.

[Rick]

Ow, jees. Ouch. Oh, crap! Just when I had forgotten about it you dredged it back up. Now I'm feelin' my tongue again! Phanks!

[AdventureDoc]

OK, I am a "younger guy" 32 y/o and I actually have a tongue piercing. Isn't that ironic? Yes...it hurt really bad. Yes...my mom knows about it and is pissed, still 15 years after I got it. No...I don't regret it

I hope the poor guy doesnt wake up any time soon

[mbarnatl]

Knowing my luck I would wake up the moment the pin went through the tongue and cheek... and I wouldn't be able to scream.

[mbarnatl]

OK.... let's see the Man vs Wild dude do this in his show!

You didn't explain the why. It's doesn't matter. I wouldn't understand anyway. It's a bit like tatoos (just alienated more members). You go and spend good money for someone to inflict pain. You give me 5 bucks and a baseball bat. I'll do it a lot cheaper and we'll both have fun!!!

mbarnatl - "I have to rely on my SAS training before sliding down this 300 foot shale cliff. Now, there's every possibility that I could be knocked unconscious so to prevent choking on my tongue, I'm going to pin it to my cheek."

Now, that show I'd watch!
