What is a friendly system?
The Buddy system is a technique to increase personal safety in a risky or dangerous situation. Two people enter the situation together and each maintains visual contact with the other. If the emergency person affects one person, the other may offer assistance or call for help. Looking groups use a system of friends during the hike of nature, water sports and strenuous activities that could include the risk of physical damage. The concept is known under other names in various fields, such as the "observer" in strength training and "Wingman" in the US Air Force.
This security technique is related to the concept of security in numbers. In a crisis situation, the only person may be knocked unconscious or otherwise unable to escape or require help. If the other situation does not appear in time, the consequences may be fatal. Many people died when quick help could save their lives, bleed to death by injuries or die of exposure in harsh condition to name only two plugLady. Soldiers and hunters have long known that it is safer to travel in groups in dangerous or unknown situations.
Scout organization from America refers to this technique as a Buddy system. This is particularly important because many scouts are small children, without judgmental skills to avoid or escape dangerous situations. For activities such as swimming, tourism and other outdoor sports, scouts should always be paired. In fact, scouting regulations recommend using this technique in any situation where an adult cannot constantly monitor all scouts. The term "friendly system" went into normal use.
Many recreational sports use its own form of a friend system. In strength training, the observer monitors the strut, offers encouragement and monitoring of misfortune or injury. Climbers and other climbers are an anchored person in the group, sometimes called the second. ThermThe “second” was also used for a corner man in a boxing and collaborators of each side in the duel. Long -distance levies and long -distance swimmers are often followed by fans in a car or ship for safety purposes as well as to monitor their progress.
The use of a friend's system continues in modern military forces. One of the most famous examples is Wingman or Wingmate, which is used by pilots in the US Air Force. This is the pilot on the second plane, which follows just behind the main plane and watches the enemy aircraft and other dangers. The term was popularized by American films, especially from 1986 Top Gun and 1996 swingers . The last film helped the term "Wingman" to get popular use to describe a reliable friend in the dating scene at the night club.
