But doesn't the weight of the patient pull strongly down the stairs? How does she resist the downward pull of all that weight, keep it from accelerating out of control?
It's really clever - the rubbery tracks that it slides on are also brakes. The heavier the person, the more friction on the track and therefore the stronger the brake. When you are pushing the person down the stairs, you are pushing straight down into the stairs rather than down and forwards. You don't take any weight or feel any pulling.
but how do you get him from his wheelchair to the evac chair? and what happens at the end - how does he get home? I guess he loses his wheelchair in the emergency and has to use the evac chair til he gets a replacement?
Lay them on the ground and pull them by their feet seems faster in an emergency. I use a wheel chair and I want to get out of the building as soon as possible. Not waiting on someone trying to figure out how to use this chair.

This works until you have a 3 degree grade pushing uphill. It has no wheel in front to avoid tipping. Coefficient of friction was not considered in this chair. Again when pushing up hill there is a high tendency when pushing you will tip over forward with patient getting injured. Needs front tipping wheel. Poor design!
BRAVO WE NEED MANY AT OUR SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING APT. I'M Passing THIS ON ! BRAVO 👏🏼💥💯

thank you so much for this demonstration video @evacchair!!!
i'm sure the world can learn from this right?
Question: the slider seems to work with friction. How many uses the rubber bands lasts?

Can you bring someone up stairs with this?
They have a chair with handles that will go up stairs but requires 2 people to do so.
Do you have this video in different languages? FE German?
Does this work on steel chequerplate steps

Can it be used to go upstairs?
Yes! We have two power chair models that are designed traverse up the stairs.
@@evacchair By using this chair we can move patients upstairs ?
Easyer said than done just done my training and you need some up body strength 😂😂

Can you elaborate?

@@alysdexia Yes. It makes so much sense. I asked if you could elaborate, not to do so. 😄
