A rollover bed having a pallet with a pair of central hinge points to allow mid-body flexing and knee joint flexing of a patient supported by the pallet is capable of maintaining constant angular traction on the patient while the pallet is flexed to angles which are comfortable to the patient. The bed also maintains the constant angular traction on the patient during the operation of turning the patient over.
