By wearing our vacuum splint, ski pants or ski jacket you are assured of quick self-splinting of a broken leg or arm with the least amount of pain. When a tumble on the slopes leads to a fracture, be prepared with the best possible support.
The Gore-Tex jacket and pants are lined with pockets of
vinyl-coated nylon, molded around the extremities, but pliant enough for active skiing. When the casualty has adopted a position that causes the least pain, the correct button is pressed. A compact, battery-powered, vacuum pump evacuates the correct pockets, forming a snug, vacuum splint within two minutes.
Equip yourself with glamorous ski or baggy snowboarder, first aid fashion to prop up aching bones until qualified help arrives.
Post deployment, a doodler's conception.

position of least pain may not be the best anatomically correct position? |

po: As long as its only until you roll yourself down the mountain, it couldn't do that much harm. I think this would be fun just to play with. |

The use of traction by inexperienced first-aiders has been discouraged lately. Who else can judge the best temporary position? |
