Rescue Device for Injured Skiers and Hikers

Objective

Design a ski device that will allow a hiker with a knee injury to safely descend down a snow capped mountain. The device should create a new approach for descending down a snow capped mountain in a fun and effective way. It is to be small and lightweight to give a rider maximum control and prevent injuries in the event that an accident occurs.
