People do crash; it happens. Then what do you do?<\/p>\n

When someone is hurt or in danger, seconds can count. Do you suppose that if you’ve had some training in what to do that you could help minimize the harm? That’s what Accident Scene Management Training is all about.<\/p>\n

A group called Road Guardians has put together a training course and locally Rider Justice<\/a> is paying to reduce the cost to anyone wishing to get trained. The course is normally $99 but you pay only $40. The next session is February 26. I’ve signed up and will be attending.<\/p>\n

It says on the website that “Accident Scene Management (ASM), was established in 1996, to reduce injuries and fatalities to motorcyclists through first response education. Since its humble beginnings, ASM has become the largest motorcycle trauma training organization in the world! We teach both bystanders and professional rescuers what to do when a motorcycle crash occurs to improve outcomes.”<\/p>\n

Also:<\/p>\n

This intense course will teach you:
\n\u2022 Safety Factors
\n\u2022 How to Secure a Crash Scene
\n\u2022 How & When to Move Someone
\n\u2022 Effectively Accessing the situation and Mechanisms of Injury
\n\u2022 Contacting and Assisting EMS Responders
\n\u2022 Common Injuries Associated with Motorcycle Trauma
\n\u2022 Helmet Removal & Jaw Thrust Rescue Breathing
\n\u2022 Assessment & Treatment Techniques
\n\u2022 Preservation of Evidence at a Crash Scene<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Rider Justice subsidy is only available for 14 people for this session. I have no idea how many spots are still open, but if you’re interested you ought to sign up right away. See you there, perhaps.<\/p>\n
