Do you were a helmet?
I live in South Carolina, a state that does not require
helmets on motorcycle riders over the age of 18. I was one
of those that DIDN’T wear a helmet unless it was raining.
My wife and I were on our way to her job interview. After
the interview, it looked like it was going to rain. We put our
helmets on and about 10 minutes later we were struck by a
tow-truck (their fault).
1. What injuries do you think the wife has?
2. What first aid steps need to be taken with this
injury?
The end….
My wife was thrown about 100 feet. You could see
the impressions in the ground, where her head
bounced, (luckily the ground was soft due to the
rain). Her helmet, a full-face helmet, was broken in
the part that went across her face. She had some
serious bruising, but if she hadn’t been wearing the
helmet her face would have been crushed.
The ski trip…
Natasha Richardson had fallen during a beginner ski
lesson. It was a normal fall; she only bumped the
back of her head on the ground. She didn’t show any
signs of injury, she was talking and she seemed all
right. Then, she began experiencing headaches about
an hour later, she was taken by ambulance to a
hospital.
1. What injuries do you think Natasha has?
2. What first aid steps need to be taken with this
injury?
3. What could have been done to prevent this injury?
The end…
Actress Natasha Richardson died. She was not
wearing a helmet at the time of the fall.
