Which drag is used to move a responsive or unresponsive person, by name?

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

Answer: (C)

The technique being described is a blanket drag, and that name fits best because it uses a blanket to move the person rather than lifting or pulling on arms or ankles. Placing a blanket under the person (or rolling them onto it) lets you grab the edges and drag them to safety with controlled, steady movement. This approach is useful whether the person is responsive or unresponsive because you’re not relying on their cooperation or on lifting heavy body mass directly; you can keep the spine in a more neutral position and reduce strain on your own back while still moving them to a safer location.

Other drags rely on grabbing the person by their ankles, armpits, or seating position, which can increase risk to the neck, spine, or back or require the person to be in a particular position. The blanket drag avoids those issues and offers a simple, practical way to relocate someone when space is limited or you need to move them quickly.
