If there is an emergency and you need to make a sling very quickly, you can use your clothing to improvise using the hints below:
- Use of a long-sleeved shirt: You can tie both ends of the sleeve behind your head and gently slip in your hand through the loop formed, then adjust the knot until you are comfortable.
- Use of belt: Simply secure the belt buckle behind your neck and slip your arm through the loop formed. Fasten the belt so that your arm is supported at a 90degree angle.
- Use a tie: You can make a sling using a tie also by simply tying it behind your back and then, pass your arm through the loop formed. Keep adjusting till you achieve a 90degree angle.
- Use a head-tie: Using a scarf or head tie can also serve same purpose. Simply fold it into two to get a triangular shape, then tie both ends behind your back and slip in your arm through the loop formed.
