Abstract: In abstract a preferred embodiment of this invention is an improved spine board and head stabilizer system for transporting injured persons in a relatively stable position. The present invention provides for a short spine board that can be attached to both the back and the head of the patient while he is in a sitting position such as an injured party who remains in an upright position on the seat after an automobile accident. Once the patient is removed from the location of the accident, he can be placed on a full length spine board without disconnecting or otherwise loosening the head stabilizer of a short board. The quick engaging and releasing features of this invention are not only convenient to use but also greatly reduce the time required in properly strapping the injured party for removal and transport.
