ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for manually transporting an injured person includes a chair having a seat, a backrest, front and rear legs, ground wheels on the rear legs and carrier arms which extend forwardly and backwardly at opposite sides of the chair. These elements are preferably foldable relative to each other from a chair configuration to a more compact storage configuration and the forward segments of the carrier arms are selectively detachable from the chair to facilitate seating of an injured person. A leg support cross strap extends between the forward carrier arm segments and additional straps enable each leg of the person to be secured to a separate one of the carrier arm segments. The device may be wheeled along the ground, where possible, by one or more carrier persons in front of the chair and may otherwise be lifted by carriers at the front and back of the chair. The device is particularly suited for transporting injured athletes from a playing field while also being useful in other situations that require manual transport of a person.
