Daniel J Méssem Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Just came across a cyclist unconscious from a fall - his buddies are with him but dont know who to call - just before the pedestrian bridge, next to the school Getting dark and dodgy in these parts
Warren911 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Hope he got assistance. For reference call any emergency service. Such as netcare 911, 082911. If scene is remote give them your GPS coordinates. If patient is breathing, the best thing is to just leave him alone.I do think all MTBers should do a first aid course. Capricorn, mrbaker, slowpoke and 4 others 7
Skylark Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Well that's a first, emergency situation out on the trails and the rescuers start a thread on thehub for advice on what to do.Seeing you only got a reply an hr later I hope the guy got helped and is ok!
Guest EdEdEd Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Oi. I hope the guy is ok. 10111 is quite well known,no?
Danger Dassie Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Oi. I hope the guy is ok.10111 is quite well known,no? That's police, not medical. I don't even know what the hotline is for emergency services, just netcare
Guest EdEdEd Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 That's police, not medical. I don't even know what the hotline is for emergency services, just netcarebut you can still phone them at least and get a number... which is better than posting a topic on theHub... Danger Dassie and mrbaker 2
Guest notmyname Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Ask if they are sorted. If so, move along. No need to rubber neck. fanievb 1
Daniel J Méssem Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah they said they were sorted but didnt know who to call - we didnt want to rubber neck nor did they want us to - so we moved on Hope he got help, who are the best people to call on cases like this? Edited June 1, 2014 by Daniel J Méssem
Sven137 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) 112 is the best number to call, no need to call some money grabbing private ambulance service. Edited June 1, 2014 by Sven137 nonky 1
Daniel J Méssem Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 And if the person does not have medical aid does the same apply? Just to be clear, I did not post on the hub instead of calling for help, but rather to know for next time
