What should be done if other rescue methods are unavailable?

The recommended action is to manually lift the victim from the bucket using basic techniques when no other rescue methods are available. This approach focuses on immediate intervention when the situation does not allow for waiting or the use of additional equipment and ensures that the victim receives prompt assistance.

In a rescue situation, time is often of the essence. Manual techniques can be effective in swiftly extracting a victim in emergency circumstances, provided that rescuers are trained and capable of doing so safely. This hands-on approach can help stabilize the victim and prevent further injury while waiting for additional help, if necessary.

The other options typically involve delaying action or relying on resources that may not be immediately accessible. Waiting for backup could extend the victim's exposure to danger, while relying on a bucket truck for a rapid descent may not be feasible if there are complications. Additionally, calling for higher authority intervention can also delay the necessary actions required to safely assist the victim in a timely manner.
