More like offering sacrifices to the EMS gods...Did you take bets on whether the cot would fail?
No bariatric unit there at that time...I want to say 5 or 6 of us to manoever them onto the stretcher/into the ambulance, then the aircrew assisted us at the aircraft.I would place my bet on whether the crews backs would fail first.
All we had were the old Ferno-Washington #30 and #9, for anyone old enough to remember them.
Now, they have power stretchers and power stair chairs.
We used 27' OBI Orion ll buses equipped with fully low rear floor for bariatric patients.
Use air pressure to squat and raise the rear-end. Load via back door.
