- Summary
- COI synopsis: This rescue capsule may well replace the conventional rescue stretcher. The difference is that in the new capsule, the patient is strapped in an enclosing box protecting him from further injury over rough terrain. While primarily designed for use in underground accidents the film shows it standing up well to the gruelling endurance course used by the Royal Marines.
