I'm not sure of this situation, but it is used to communicate that a member of the team has been injured. Police will say, "Officer down" to tell headquarters that one of the members of the squad has been wounded. "

Yes, that makes sense now. Thanks so much. In the video, Cristy had sprained her ankle and was calling out for help.
