Bonus Posted September 9, 2012 Share From what they were saying at the scene, he felt unwell, stopped and sat on the verge for a while, phoned his wife to fetch him but then suffered a fatal heart attack. We arrived there 20 min after the ambulance was first called and it was at least another ten mins before a paramedic bakkie arrived. By then it was too late and the folks trying to revive him had stopped. his wife and half a dozen more emergency vehicles arrived a short while later. When we rode back past there a 45mins later there were quite a few family members there with her. This, and the heart attack fatality 3 weeks ago has certainly highlighted how far away from medical responce you are if you ride out there alone :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Agreed, and also, if possible....go and do a proper basic First Aid course. Even if it means becoming a first aid rep at your company. My dad had a medical emergency on Monday last, and I was able to help him, because of a basic course I did. Bateleur1 and Tumbleweed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
