On tv, there is an advertisement for these straps that you put under
whatever you want to lift and--voila!--2 persons can lift the heaviest
thing.
Could that be adapted to transporting a person?

Try lifting a 747 that way. It doesnt work.

Sounds like you're describing the "forearm forklift". I suppose such
straps could be adapted to lift any reasonable thing, but a person is
a little wiggly compared to a refrigerator. They could be hard to
manage, and the straps are certainly not made for that use.
Maybe you could put the person IN a refrigerator...

You don't need the straps for two people to carry a person. If you
take a First Aid course, or the more advanced First Responder course,
or search Google, you can learn about two-person carries.
