The litter bridle attaches to the litter at how many points?

• A. Four
• B. One
• C. Two
• D. Three

Answer: (A)

Distributing the haul evenly across the litter is essential for stability and control during a rescue lift. The litter bridle is connected to the litter at four points—typically at the four corners of the frame—so the pull from the hauling lines comes through all corners. This balanced attachment keeps the litter level, minimizes twisting, and prevents one side from bearing more load as you move. If you used fewer points, the load could tilt or rotate, making handling harder and increasing resistance. Four attachment points provide the most stable and controllable haul.
