I did notice that it wasn't made with the usual flair! "Iain said that
this was a great opportunity for the UK Usenet community to enjoy low
speed downloads that won't flood their ADSL lines or encourage them to
exceed the limits we are about to impose"

Cheers.

It's in the Pan owners manual.

 

No, it's ABC - Airways, Breathing, Credit Card.

 

And why not! ;o)

Not much I can say really - only that I wasn't around when the announcement
was made - and the people involved have learn't from it...

So, erm, sorry!

Anyways, have fun )

 

I think the point he is making is not one of this particular incident,
just accidents in general, that is, he could have made the difference,
but at the moment, he can't.

Interestingly, first aid is a cumpulsory part of the German driving
license. Accident on the road, *everyone* has some first aid training.
Good idea imho.

 

....I'll take that as a no then.

Nevermind, I thought it was a good idea.

 

Heh! Nah - the litigation culture wasn't invented then. Otherwise quite
possibly.

 

Considering the plod arrived after 40 minutes, nothing they can offer
will be much help to the injured.
Anyone happening on an accident can help, even if just a little bit
with reassurances, for the victim.

 

Buzby emerged from their own little world to say

This company does "first on scene" training for bikers
http://www.rubiconsolutionsuk.co.uk/newsdesk/archives/motorcyclist_first_aid_forthcoming_dates

I got the link from another bike forum. They are used by a number of bike
clubs, IAM etc.

The cheapest way to get training is through your employer. Why not volunteer
to become a first aider?

My ex-employer sent me on a 1 day resuscutation course as I worked in an
electronics test environment. Although my StJ certification has expired I'd be
confident of doing the most approporiate thing before the pro's arrived.

 

I don't remember much of what happened, but there were two of them that
removed mine. The shoved something under my neck, cut the chin strap and
then one chap stuck his hands inside the helmet as far as he could. The
other chap spread the helmet and slowly began removing it. As it came
off the guy that had my head supported began inching his hands farther
back till the helmet was off. Then the cunts taped my head to the
backboard and cut the rest of my gear off.

'Hog

 

Same thing happened to me last month. I remember that they took about
ten minutes taking my helmet off, with three of them at it.

 

If you knew what you were doing, I'd imagine mouth to mouth and a bit of
thumping followed by a bloody quick phone call to someone with a
defibriallator(sp?).

Failing that, oral sex.

 

Still having problems, eh?

 

We could use W.C. as the victim.

He'll prolly be half unconscious by then anyway...

 

<fx puts kettle on>

 

Not fun, innit. I lost my Freddie Spencer replica. But still I got a
nice new shiny black Shoei to replace it.

Local colleges, Red Cross, your local ambulance brigade all may point
you in the right direction.

 

Puncture wounds, deep cuts, choking.

That's just a start. Any of those could lead to death before the ambies
arrive.

 

Too fucking right. After seeing the aftermath of road carnage, a good
toke is in order.
