The Thomas Stretcher is a British mountain rescue stretcher designed by in the 1930s by a climbing club committee formed to investigate the construction of a stretcher specifically for carrying injured climbers over rough ground. == Background == A Stretcher Committee was formed by the Rucksack Club after a prominent member had severe fall whilst rock climbing. The member was badly injured and had to be transported from the climb on a makeshift stretcher formed from a farm gate in much discomfort, with his leg being later amputated in hospital. The Joint Stretcher Committee was formed in 1933〔 when the Rucksack Club Stretcher Committee merged with the similar venture of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club. Their requirements〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Scottish Mountain Heritage Object Collection )〕 were: # minimum weight. # quite exceptional strength and rigidity under varied strains. # provision for the loaded weight to be shared by more than the usual two bearers. # provision to allow the bearers to walk in file on the level and to advance in line on a steep slope. # portability (i.e. it should be possible to take the empty stretcher apart in case of need). # means to hold the patient in position with the least discomfort even when being lowered down a vertical face. # means to keep his body from contact with the rock under such circumstances. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Stretcher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
