In the SKED, how are a casualty's feet secured?

In the SKED (Skedco Rescue System), a casualty's feet are secured by using a separate set of straps. This design ensures that the feet are restrained effectively, preventing any movement that could lead to additional injuries during transport. Securing the feet individually with straps allows for a more stable and secure fit, which is especially important in situations where the casualty may be moving or jostled during evacuation.

Using a separate set of straps specifically for the feet also aids in maintaining the casualty's overall position and alignment within the SKED, which is crucial for both comfort and safety. This method enhances the effectiveness of the SKED as a rescue and transport device, ensuring that the casualty is immobilized properly while still allowing for quick access and support from medical personnel if needed.
