    When did the solid back piece go in between the sides?

    Looks like from various images that the side pieces are flag shaped, so the back is not solid and the back pieces are slipped under the back of the person when assembling.

    the back piece is like the sections of a scoop stretcher. The piece supporting the patient's back is actually a metal piece which is attached to the side rail, not a continuious piece which spans from one side rail to the other. (think cantilevered)

    the scoop stretcher I'm used to is made of aluminium and has connectable joints at the head and feet. the patient is rolled slightly to one side, and the left side placed in with the metal flags under the paitent, then the patient rolled to the right and the right side piece inserted.
    once both pieces in place, the connectors at the head and feet are clicked together and the entire stretcher is rigid and secure.

    Had a neighbor fall in her condo this past Winter and I was unable to get her standing - Her Daughter called for ems help to get her upright and then checked out by medics since she is 92 and fell. This could have made the situation much easier
