In crossing roads, rocks, or steep slopes the toboggan may be lifted as a stretcher, six men carrying it so that a slip by one will not be disastrous. Bandannas tied around the shoes may increase traction on icy slopes. The victim of an accident will thank his rescuers for using the greatest care in pulling the toboggan. They should work smoothly, and unless it is very cold or darkness is coming on there is no need to rush. They should pick their course carefully to avoid bumps, steep slopes, and traverses. They should avoid jerking and should never go fast. Everything that can be done to make the victim comfortable and warm will reduce pain, anxiety, and shock. |
