For moving a person who is too large to move another way, which drag would you choose?

• A. Blanket Drag
• B. Ankle Drag
• C. Seated Drag
• D. Two-Person Carry

Answer: (B)

When you need to move a person who is too large to lift or reposition by hand, choose a method that minimizes your lifting and lets you slide the body rather than pick it up. An ankle drag fits that need because you grab the person by the ankles and pull them along a surface. This keeps the weight distributed along the line of your body and relies on gravity and your leg strength rather than lifting with your back, making it possible to move the person a short distance to safety without needing extra equipment or more than one rescuer. It’s particularly practical when you can’t get a blanket under them or when space is limited, and you want to avoid the more involved setup of a two-person carry. The other options have limits here: a blanket drag requires a blanket and access under the person, a seated drag needs the person to be able to sit, and a two-person carry needs another rescuer and more coordination.
