Hi,
Firstly let me welcome you to First-Aid-Biker, we know that everybody learns by their mistakes, which is why as a biker, we buy the best motorcycle clothing we can afford. We have all seen people traveling at high speeds on their ride in flymsy clothing and just shook our head at the disbelief, but thats another lesson to be learned.
We can not enforce our beliefs upon others, they have free will, all we can do is teach ourselves or learn from other peoples costly mistakes.
Most people in their time have done first aid, wether it be sticking a plaster over a cut, removing a splinter or stopping a nose bleed, thats brilliant and for some harder to do because they are squeemish, however, at the scene of something major that fear seems to go and a logical mind takes over.
At the scene of an accident, one of your buddies is out cold, they have lowsided their ride and hit a tree or another vehicle or they may have ran into another vehicle that didn't expect to see anything coming and turned in the road in front of them. There is many types of accidents on motorcycles and one thing is for sure, you will almost deffinately be thinking afterwards, I wish there was something I could have done.
Well here is your chance, I am not promising you anything, I am not giving you anything either but rather providing an opertunity for you to get Emergency First Aid Trained and be able to save a life or a limb.
Nobody wants to witness an accident, but nobody wants to be helpless at one either, so GET EMERGENCY FIRST AID TRAINED and spread the word, encourage others to do the same, start your own group of First-Aid-Biker, where you live, lets get this out in the open and promote our ability.
That just leaves one thing left to say,
Thank you for reading this, Ride Safe, Be Safe.

Simon O commented on the group First-Aid-Biker's wall:I'm a first aider and always carry a small first aid kit when I'm on my bike. As with my first aid kit at work, I hope to have to replace things when they go out of date and not because I've used them, but it's nice to know it's there if needed.

by Framey 1 year agoI have been riding bikes for 25yrs. I was a police motorcyclist for four years and am a class one police advanced pursuit driver. As a police officer both on and off duty I have dealt with many injured people, a fair proportion of whom were injured in road traffic accidents and in particular motorcyclists
I am a qualified first aid trainer. I have the benefit of having spent six weeks with the East Anglian Ambulance Trust learning advanced first aid skills.
I am now in the position to offer a bespoke first aid course for motorcyclists covering the following subjects.
Bleeding.
Casualty movements.
Communication and hygiene.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Crash helmet removal.
"C" Spine immobilisation.
Log roll.
Emergencies in public, scene management
Head injury.
Primary/Secondary survey.
Shock.
Unconscious casualty.
It takes about four and a half hours to complete the course depending on class size and progress of students. I always ensure my students leave competent and confident. If you dont get it on the first course, I will return you free of charge to complete another course. The qualification is valid for three years, but annual refreshers should be undertaken to stay competent. So no pressure.
The courses are run in Dereham, Norfolk at a cost of £20 per head. This is half the price of St Johns, which could be taught by someone who knows nothing about biking. Course sizes are a minimum of eight, maximum of sixteen students.I can travel to teach, but would need to reflect that in the price of the course.
Please contact myself or Steve for more information.
Keep it between the hedges !

by BBUK01 2 years agoHi reggie and thanks for that Info, that is very useful, So if anybody is from Iowa or Des Moines Get along to the course and get yourself qualified or trained up.

by 2Wheeltips 2 years agoWhat type of first-aid supplies do you recommend that every motorcyclist carry with them when they go out for a ride? -
by Reggie 2 years agoI am a State Certified First Responder in Iowa. Our ABATE Chapter in conjunction with the Mercy School of EMS in Des Moines has sponsored a 2 Wheel Trauma course that focuses on how to assess and treat injuries sustained in motorcycle crashes. It is an 8 hour course and I would highly recommend it if it is avaialble in your area. I look forward to watching the video. Reggie -
by GrrrlX 2 years agoI am first aid and CPR certified already, but have not ever had to use it yet (knock on wood). I look forward to watching your video! Thanks for posting this awesome group/topic. -
by Tony B 2 years agoI'd love to spotlight your group on 2wheeltips. Let me know if and when you have some time. we can do an audio interview so others on the site can know about this great resource !! -
by BBUK01 2 years agoHi, we all know the importance of getting First Aid Trained, but as a Biker it's even more desirable to get Emergency First Aid trained, because being at the scene of an accident when one of your buddies has been twatted off their ride or misread the road conditions and all you can do is just stand their with your hands in your pockets or acting like a headless chicken and panicking, when istead you could be helping by giving that person those vital life saving minutes before the services arrive and take over from you knowing that you were competent at what you have done and possibly saved a life or a limb.
