Question

A hiker has fallen while trying to scale a rocky cliff. Gabe is one of the paramedics who arrives at the scene. The road is very close to the edge of the cliff, and peering down, Gabe can see the hiker in a thicket below. Once he and his partner get to the hiker, Gabe can see that they are unconscious. He must get them transported back up to the road and into the ambulance. What piece of equipment would Gabe MOST likely use to get this patient back up the rocky cliff?

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Gabe would most likely use a Stokes basket or a rescue litter to transport the hiker back up the rocky cliff. A Stokes basket is a stretcher-like device that is designed to be used in rescue situations where the terrain is difficult or hazardous. It is made of metal and is designed to be strong and durable. The basket is placed around the patient, who is then secured in place with straps. The basket is then attached to ropes or cables and lifted to safety.
