Our latest addition to our Emergency Response Team - Choking Charlie. This is basically a 1:1 scale model of a male human upper body armless torso (don't ask me why they don't have female version). This is for our team to train and practice the Heimlich Abdominal Thrust Maneuver, which is a lifesaving technique used to dislodge objects that get stuck in the victims' throat.
