Name the drag used to move a person who is too large to move another way.

• A. Blanket Drag
• B. Seated Drag
• C. Shoulder Drag
• D. Ankle Drag

Answer: (D)

When someone is too heavy to lift or carry, you rely on a drag that uses the ankles as the grip point. The ankle drag involves grabbing the person’s ankles and pulling them along the ground to safety. This keeps the body low to the ground and uses less individual strength, making it feasible to move a large person when other methods aren’t possible. It’s especially practical when you can’t get under them for a blanket drag or when a shoulder or seated drag isn’t workable due to size or access. If there’s concern about spinal injury, move only as needed to save life and seek additional help, but the ankle drag is the go-to technique for moving someone who can’t be moved by lifting.
