Tricks of the mind: The Rope

A group of 4 people must walk across a rope bridge at night. There are rabid wolves who have got their scent and will reach the group in 17 minutes, so the entire group must get across the bridge within 17 minutes. Only 2 people can cross at a time and the group only have 1 torch, which means 1 of the people
must come back with the torch, as you cannot cross the bridge without light.

Each of the 4 people can cross the bridge at different speeds. One person takes 1 minute to cross, another takes 2 minutes to cross, another takes 5 minutes to cross, and the last person has been injured and takes 10 minutes to cross. When 2 people cross together, they can only go at the speed of the slower person. For example, if the 1-minute and 10-minute people cross together, it will take them 10 minutes to get to the other side. Each time 2 people cross, someone must return with the torch, until all 4 people have made it to the other side. How does everyone get across within 17 minutes, before the wolves reach them?
