Double Rescuer Walking Assist
This assist can be used when the athlete has an injury and cannot put pressure on that area, such as a leg or a foot. The rescuers need to lock arms by grabbing onto each others wrists and securing a grip. The athlete then puts his arms around both rescuers and uses them as a crutch to take pressure off of the injured area.
