Motorcycle Triage - How to Provide Care to a Crashed Motorcyclist

It’s the middle of summer, it’s a very warm 90 degrees, you’re out along ACH with a couple of buddies on a leisurely ride and one of your buds stacks it in a corner. You immediately know your day has gone from fun to bad. He is groaning and guarded and on the side of the road, his bike is a mess. You are the only people around. What do you do? How should you proceed?

Sharif Massoud, currently a sweep-rider and head paramedic for RawHyde Adventures, and a Clinical Instructor at the University of California, talks through simple steps to take when approaching a motorcycle accident and how to better protect your fellow riders using First Aid training and awareness.

Thanks for listening and a special thank you to Sharif for joining us on this very important episode!
