talking to myself here, probably.
this slash makes me itch, really should read the article, however.
this statement
"carried on litters or stretchers -- both easier to navigate up a ramp"
is entirely false.
it may seem true, without experience, but just try it.
you may get up a short ramp, carrying a heavy weight, of any kind, without much effort, but i will happily race you, even at my age, up any serious flight of stairs, compared with any equivalent ramp, your choice of slope, and we will see whose hamstrings last the longest.
this slash talks rubbish, and although i should not waste time on this, i will now go read the article - thank you.
