The invention relates to a stretcher usable as a life raft. In an embodiment, the stretcher is provided with an elongate support panel (1) having a U-shaped inflatable tube (5) which surrounds the support panel (1) on its front side (4) and its sides (2,3). On its sides, the inflatable tube (5) has a first part (6) which is attached to the support panel (1) and an adjoining second part (7) which forms an obtuse angle (±) with the first part. The transition between the first part (6) and second part (7) forms a tilting point for the life raft in order to be able to tilt the life raft in the water between a first position in which the first parts (6) of the inflated tube (5) act as floats and a second position in which the second parts (7) of the inflatable tube (5) act as floats. By stowing away the deaerated inflatable tube (5) in the support panel (1), the life raft can also be used as a stretcher for rescue operations on ice.
