How about this: RESTRAINT OF BACKBOARD fail. If they had used tie-straps to hook that sucker in there so that the poor folks also riding along in the back weren't the only ones responsible for making sure it stayed in, this might not have been a fail.

I'm all for improvisation when the situation calls for it. But you have to ensure the safety of the providers and the patient. I'd have tied the backboard down using several anchor points, and I would have also used tie-straps to give myself as a responder a lap-restraint belt. And I would have had someone else drive, who knew that you have to drive VERY CAREFULLY with a backboard and riders in your pickup bed.

Whoopsie!

One of the comments says it's in Venezuela. I could see someone being transported like that, if it were out here, and they were in the middle of the woods. However, on paved roads? If they're that hard up for an ambulance, maybe try a station wagon..
