Chair Carry: The chair carry can often be used to move a sick or injured person away from a position of danger. The casualty is seated on a chair, as shown in figure 3-40, and the chair is carried by two rescuers. This is a particularly good method to use when you must carry a person up or down stairs or through narrow, winding passageways. This carry must NEVER be used to move a person who has an injured neck, back, or pelvis.

Arm Carry: The two-person arm carry, shown in figures 3-41 and 3-42, can be used in some cases to move an injured person. However, this carry should not be used to carry a person who has serious wounds or broken bones.

Another two-person carry that can be used in emergencies is shown in figure 3-43. Two rescuers position themselves beside the casualty, on the same side, one at the level of the chest and the other at the thighs. The rescuers interlock adjacent arms as shown, while they support the victim at the shoulders and knees. In unison, they lift the victim and roll his front toward theirs. This carry must not be used to move seriously injured persons.
