Emergency planning should include everyone. Individuals with mobility disabilities are often overlooked in evacuation plans — especially in multi-story buildings where elevators may fail. Accessible evacuation equipment helps ensure individuals who use wheelchairs can be safely assisted during emergencies. Inclusive preparedness protects entire communities.

Firefighters, EMS teams, and emergency personnel often face challenging evacuation environments — narrow staircases, damaged buildings, or power outages. Traditional stretchers aren’t always practical in these scenarios. The ADAPTS Emergency Rescue Sling provides a compact and effective evacuation solution designed for rapid response situations involving individuals with limited mobility.

Caregivers carry a lot... responsibility, trust, and often the safety of someone they love. Having the right evacuation equipment can make an enormous difference during emergencies. Tools like the ADAPTS Emergency Rescue Sling help caregivers safely assist individuals who use wheelchairs or have mobility challenges when elevators or standard equipment aren’t available. Preparedness brings peace of mind.

April is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month, a time to recognize the strength and resilience of those living with life-altering challenges. One powerful story is that of , who lost his left leg to Ewing's Sarcoma at just nine years old. In his memoir Just Don’t Fall, Josh shares his journey from small-town life to the Paralympics, navigating adolescence, hospitals, faith, and financial strain along the way. His story is one of courage, perseverance, and the belief that even when we fall, we can rise stronger.

ADAPTS plays a crucial role in supporting individuals with mobility challenges by providing practical tools that make travel and everyday life more accessible. Our portable transfer sling empowers individuals with limb loss and limb differences to move safely and independently on planes, in emergencies, and beyond. Josh’s story and ADAPTS' mission both remind us that with the right support and determination, obstacles can become stepping stones.

Our Story

by Alex Ghenis for New Mobility Magazine, Jan 2019

Sometimes, valuable tools come from unexpected places — and sometimes, those tools can start a movement that saves lives. This is the case with ADAPTS, an innovative transfer sling that can be invaluable in an emergency. ADAPTS is the brainchild of Robin Wearley, a former flight attendant who grew concerned about poor evacuation planning for passengers with disabilities. The usual protocol is to let all non-disabled passengers out first, then lift the person under their knees and shoulders and carry them to safety. Wearley saw many problems with this. What if it’s a rapid emergency and everyone must evacuate quickly? What if staff aren’t trained on the proper lift technique? What if the passenger is an amputee or has weakened bones or joints? There had to be a better way.

A February 2016 interview with John Morris of wheelchairtravel.org for a blog piece on airplane evacuations inspired Wearley to design ADAPTS. “It’s intuitive to use and resembles a soft stretcher,” she explains, “and the person is cradled in it like a hammock.”

Two years and seven prototype designs later, Wearley began touring the country at disability product expos to sell the final product — a bright yellow, foldable sling with six handles. It is manufactured almost entirely in the United States. Although originally designed for airplanes, ADAPTS works in many situations. “I hear about other applications from our customers, so the research and development comes directly from the end-users,” Wearley says.
