Needs pictures, but it sounds pretty much like it, yes. Straps more
or less just extend that type of carrying position.

Some people wear black t-shirts to make some kind of fashion statement.
I'm the type who wears black t-shirts because they don't show the blood.

There's techniques and also a device you can wear to ease movement.
Google around. I've seen petite nursing aids move large people.
In reality, modern wheel chairs have fold down sides, you slide the

someone who can not move, a modern chair is essential.
