I work at a childrens mental health facility. When we have to transport children, we are required to use an ambulance, not personal vehicles. On friday I had to transport a young girl to a facility that was about two hours away. As we boarded the ambulance the paramedic, very nice woman secured the young girl to the stretcher. She than asked me to remove my jacket so that it would not interfear with my safety belts. I did as she asked and sat where I was told. She the fastened me into a 5 point harness. Very tight, and seated very upright on the bench seat. This was the first ambulance I have been in that had 5pt harnessed for passengers, and I have been in a lot of them. Normally in the back there's only a lap belt. Every so often you may get one with a 3 point harness, but never a 5pt. I was very surprised.
