BBC News - New stretcher promises to help mountain rescuers

A specially designed stretcher which will make it easier to take casualties off mountains has been unveiled.

The Katie Stretcher is the brainchild of Scottish mountain rescue teams.

It is made of lightweight carbon fibre and can break up into three sections, making it much easier to transport to accident sites.
