I did a quick search and they show you how to use both styles in their manual, so it doesn't look like they recommend one over the other.

You mean, the manufacturer of the gurney?

Hello, I have a question about shoulder gurney straps. Our ambulance service used to have shoulder gurney straps that met in the middle and hooked around the seatbelt buckle and went over each shoulder. I found these to be just fine and I really liked them. Since then, we replaced them with...
