nice. very subtle...

you have to admit, the whole thing gets pretty funny though.

Heck, I might even lay the patient on the side to "drool" out, remembering you can package for cervical injuries on the side as well.

how is that done? just tilting the backboard, or is there a different technique?

for humanity's sake.

We were always taught that the KED is an extrication device, not an immobilization device; as soon as the patient is removed from the vehicle they are placed on a LSB and fully immobilized that way.

The website for the KODE2 includes directions on how to use the KED for a standing takedown... why bother using it at all, doesn't a long spine board work just as well/better in that situation?

Imagine being so lost, depressed, frightened, etc, that you truely believe that everybody who loves and cares for you will be better off without you.

People don't commit suicide in order to hurt anybody, they are (for the time being) unable to see how anybody could be hurt by their actions.
