(Thanks to Israel21c) Israel’s Agilite has produced a hands-free rescue device called the IPC (Injured Personnel Carrier). The IPC weighs less than 0.5kg and secures an injured person on a rescuer’s back. It is a huge improvement on the Fireman’s carry technique and is already popular internationally.
