ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises an inflatable pad for releasable attachment to a backboard to provide cushioned support to substantially an entire human body. The inflatable pad comprises a pad body having a length, a top end and a bottom end, a first side and a second side, and a selectively inflatable air retaining chamber integrated with said pad body. The inflatable pad includes an airtight interior for which a compressed air source is provided which selectively rapidly inflates the interior of the inflatable pad to provide cushioning of a person being carried upon the backboard without comprising the immobilization of the person. The inflatable pad is alternatively comprised of various sections specifically contoured to support the head, back, and legs of a person placed thereupon, and alternatively includes an integrated head restraining means.
