The immobilizer includes box sections providing increased resistance to longitudinal bending, one formed by laterally extending stiffener panels having free ends arrangable in overlying relation, and others formed by the strap arrangement. Features include laterally adjustable carrying handles, and slot and strap configurations which reduce tearing of the cardboard.
