Did you take bets on whether the cot would fail?

More like offering sacrifices to the EMS gods...

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.

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.

Sounds like a hospital pick-up.

Out-of-hospital pick-ups can be pretty interesting. Any place imaginable.

Thankfully, I'll never have to haul another bariatric out of a ravine. Toronto's ravine system is the largest in any city in the world.

Ontario has a new Physical Ability Test called OPPAT.

• is legally defensible, wherein the OPPAT ( TM ) was developed based on the best practice template emerging from the seminal 1999 Meiorin Supreme Court Case;

That's nice.

Comes with a nice little video too.
