This is often a contentious issue. An IFAK is to be used on YOU, by someone else. You might get a trauma surgeon, you might get Ricky Rescue who saw it on Youtube. The probability is more the latter and not the former. I do not advocate anyone use one if they have not been trained. Even if you have been trained, depending on state law, you may or may not be liable regardless of any Good Samaritan laws.

I will say, in 30 years (almost 31 now), I have never seen anyone die of a singular tension pneumo. TPs are usually accompanied by other things, and those other things are usually the cause of death.
