I’ve been lucky enough not to be carried in a stretcher, but if I were going to be, I’d want it to be in one of these. This design for a Caterpillar stretcher looks standard at first, but can tilt up to a reclining or sitting wheelchair and glide gracefully up and down stairs. This lets the paramedics easily carry you down elevator-less buildings without risking breaking your body even more.

Awesome.
