Two-ski sled as a splint.—A frame which is identical to this toboggan, except that skis are placed only 6 inches apart, serves as a splint for a broken back, neck, or pelvis. The victim is tied to the bottoms of the skis—face down for a broken back; face up for a broken neck or pelvis—and is transported in those respective positions.
Snowplow sled.—This two-ski rescue sled needs only one brace and fewer cords. No "emergency" equipment at all is needed if the skis, poles, pack frame, and boot laces of the injured man are used in its construction. If no Bergans-type pack frame is available, one wooden brace must be secured. The wedge shape of this sled, however, makes it the hardest type to pull—an asset on steep descents or icy slopes, but a serious drawback elsewhere.
The skis are placed in a snowplow position, points together and bindings 18 inches apart. The handle of one ski pole is run through the basket of the other so that the poles are united at the baskets. The points of the skis are fitted into the webs of the baskets and one pole is placed on top of each ski so that the handles lie between the toe irons. Now a cord (a rawhide boot lace is excellent) is tied around each ski pole about 6 inches in front of each toe iron. The thongs must be tied with a clove hitch because other knots will not hold. The knot is tied in the middle of the thong leaving two long ends. These ends are passed through the toe-strap holes in the toe irons, pulled very tight and their ends tied together
across the toe irons with a square knot. This method of tying pulls the poles back along the skis, thus tightening the ski tips in the baskets at the front end of the toboggan. No cords are needed at the front of the sled. A brace must be placed at the toe irons.
If no pulling ropes are available, the handles of two ski poles may be passed through the baskets at the front of the toboggan so that their handles extend forward. These poles are held in place by their baskets and may be used in place of pull ropes.
