On May 11, 1985, a devastating fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade stadium claimed 56 lives and injured over 250 people, prompting the invention of the Bradford Sling, a revolutionary device designed by Prof David Sharpe and Dr John Boot to support and elevate injured arms for better recovery, which has since been acknowledged with a Green Plaque at the University of Bradford for its significant contribution to medical development. #MedicalInnovation #BurnTreatment #HistoricalLandmarks #GB
