Emergency Cast

castSo you're out in the woods hiking alone, and you just used a condom to make a fire and cook some Ramen. You're so excited, you start jumping up and down in excitement. In your enthusiasm, you stumble on a pile of rocks, fall down, and really hurt yourself. Dang, you think you might've broken your arm. What are you going to do? Looks like it's time to whip out the emergency cast.

The heavy-duty cardboard cast comes flat-packed. After folding it, you simply slide your injured arm inside, lock the velcro strips around the unit, and pump air inside the inflatable lining to secure your arm as you can stumble to the hospital to get a real cast.

Feel better soon!
