There are two drag harnesses, one
at the head end and one at the foot
end. On removing the protective
sheath, a tape loop is released that is
permanently attached through metal
eyelets on the stretcher.
Placing the loop over the head and
around the shoulders will allow the
rescuer to drag or pull the casualty in
the required direction while having
their hands free to carry out other
duties.
The same dragging or pulling
technique is used when moving the
casualty head or feet first.
