Concept | A bus crashes on a remote coastal road. Multiple casualties are dispersed over a wide area on a rugged slope between the road and the sea. Weather conditions are deteriorating, increasing the risk of hypothermia. The accident has caused traffic jams and road access is limited. Among such problems as major trauma and shock, spinal injuries are likely. Evacuating certain casualties will mean carrying them long distances over difficult, dangerous terrain. The clock is ticking… |  | In this example, the response of medical teams is immediately challenged by both awkward access and poor weather. One person can easily carry up to 5 LESS stretchers to the scene allowing emergency teams to work optimally.
The victim can be secured to the stretcher quickly with waterproof thermal insulation for the body and head, to prevent a worsened condition from hypothermia. | |
