By: Murphy Gibson “LoopRope™ According to the New York State Department of Health’s Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, “Portable cylinders may be packaged in a rigid or padded protective case and then stored in a cabinet or strapped to the ambulance cot.” If the tank is strapped to the cot with bungee cords, there is a greater chance of hazard, as the hook design has been known to fail. Thomas Jefferson University researchers who studied serious injuries related to bungee cords failing and snapping stated, “We advocate a modification in the design of these cords.” Jeff Dahl of Southern Oregon has taken this modification task to hand.
