You still have to place the patient on a LSB even with a KED on. So it doesn't really make immobilization any quicker.
It does seem to me that the only reason the KED is a "slow" process is because people aren't familiar with it.

Why do you need the LSB with a KED? Just as an extrication tool?
The KED is only designed for short transfer movements, such as extrication, once on it would not be prudent to remove prior to the LSB.

Why? I know you teach skills; are you basing that just off the skill sheets?
But why put them on the lsb at all. Leave the board out of the equation.
Per national NREMT skills test for immobilization of a seated patient they have to be moved onto a LSB.
I am pretty sure a KED is also considered to be a full immobilization device independent of a LSD in some areas. There is no spine in your legs...
