2014 SILVER PRIZE - Bench Stretcher

Name

Lee Jeong Guk, Go Han Bin, Lee Jin Wook, Won Kang Hyo

A bench for mountain emergencies. Incidentsin mountains are on the rise every year. Topographically, serious accidents or injuries occurring inthe mountains are first reported to rescue teams, followed by the arrival of rescuers, carrying the injured to emergency helipads, and transportation to hospitals.  The process is very complex and takes time with the survival of the injured not guaranteed. Meanwhile, the proposed concept bench accelerates the rescue process as other trekkers or climbers can separate a stretcher from the bench and carry the injured to a helipad upon reporting to a rescue team.  As it helps save time, the safety and survival rates of the injured will increase.
