&pageText=The cradle-drop drag is effective in moving a casualty up or down steps. The procedures for the cradle-drop drag are to:& &label1=Kneel at casualty’s head& &label2=Raise casualty’s head& &label3=Drag casualty backward& &label4=Back down steps& &poptext1=Kneel at the casualty’s head (with him lying on his back). Slide your hands, with palms up, under the casualty’s shoulders and get a firm hold under his armpits.& &poptext2=Rise (partially), supporting the casualty’s head on one of your forearms. (You may bring your elbows together and let the casualty’s head rest on both of your forearms.)& &poptext3=Rise and drag the casualty backward. (The casualty is in a semi-sitting position.)& &poptext4=Back down the steps, supporting the casualty’s head and body and letting his hips and legs drop from step to step.
Note: If the casualty needs to be moved up the steps, you should back up the steps, using the same procedure.&
