This is how they load people into the local "trauma chopper".
Not from the side of the helicopter, but from the back.
It's a small, narrow space, but they said they can handle people up to 400 pounds, depending on their fuel load and the distance they have to travel.
I would not ever want to be in the back, even though I know the Medics and Nurses who fly these choppers are excellent at what they do.
