Have you ever come across a rider injured in a motorcycle crash and wondered what to do? It’s even harder when it’s a friend or a loved one. What first aid skills do you need?
And do you remove the rider’s helmet?
In this week’s show, Steve and Christophe talk to Suzie Howell from Pulsestart, a registered training organisation that specialises in tailored courses in First Aid, CPR, Fitness, Hospitality and Fire & Rescue.
Suzie has plenty of experience as a first responder, has found herself in many life saving situations and she’s a very keen rider as well!!
She has some great advice on how to learn what you need to know, and answers the important question about removing the helmet from a rider after a crash.
Also this week the guys answer a question from Tracey who wants to know what’s the best bike for a first bike.
And Christophe brings us up to date with the latest happenings from Dream Racer, and there’s some good news for people looking to buy a Honda Africa Twin.
If you’d like to know more about the courses Pulsestart offers, check out the website at www.pulsestart.com.au or contact Suzie on 0416 888 343.
A strong point is made and cannot be emphasized enough where everyone riding should have completed a first aid course and carry some sort of first aid kit. Unfortunately you, as the first there, may be the persons only help for a length of time before the Ambulance arrives. Do yourselves a favour as it may save someones life.
You are so right Harry, unfortunately most do not have the Nationally Recognised Training, CPR and First Aid know how or even a First Aid Kit on board.
