Got a couple of orange ones today and just finished watching the training videos - looks like the SWAT-T will be a useful addition.
About where to apply a tourniquet, or not, my first EMT instructor mentioned a time when he rode in the mbulance with the victim, clamping the carotid artery with his fingers until they got to the ER.He was later sued because of excessive facial disfigurement (unsuccessfully).
