Subject: Airlifting? why?

The "problem" with airlifting is not going to be solved by wearing
a full supporting harness all the time. First, any harness that would
support (safely) a person would have to have leg straps. Now imagine
swimming around for an hour or two with those leg straps chaffing 
your thighs (thats why people wearing parachutes waddle).
Second, If you are going to be picked up by a helicoptor it's probably
not going to be a Bell Jet Ranger with Donald Trump and entourage but
a well equipped Coast Guard (or other) rescue craft. They will have
the seat, basket, stretcher, underarm loop, or whatever and the 
personell trained to use it properly.
Now, back to those pesky free radicals and super duper oxides...
