One Evacuation Tool for Patients

This looks like a cheap solution to moving a bunch of people out of a building when elevators and other solutions are not an option.

When I come across products that might have a pretty broad application I like to share them with you.  Check out this Med Sled product that is describe as being a tool for the evacuation of medical facilities.

 

Watch the video they have posted on their website.  The product seems useful to me, but not sure about how it might feel for the patient going down those stairs?

 

I could also see this being used for other patient evacuation purposes in other settings.
