Moving a stretcher that is too high is a common cause of stretcher tips. The problem is many providers don't know how high a stretcher should be and when trying to do all of the other tasks they need to complete they forget to check the height. A simple way to avoid this is to place two strips of reflective tape on your stretcher, one on the frame and one on the extension arms (I totally made up that name but you can see where it is in the picture). Now all your providers need to do is check that the tape is lined up and they are at the correct height.
