Bad afternoon
 

I was on my way back from Julian this afternoon when I guy about a
mile ahead of me took a spill on a motorcycle in a corner. Being the
first one on the scene besides his son who was riding with him and
another biker who crashed as well, I attempted to be helpful. His
poor son was trying to get his mouth open and some air in through
all the blood and mess of his face. He had a full face helmet on and
it was a deseperate situation. I felt a heart beat but he wasnt
breathing. His son removed the helmet and everyone that was there
was just staring at his bloody face. His son was in a panic. I could
feel a heart beat. someone had a one way breather mask so I gave him
a breath. Blood and vomit went everywhere. His face through his
mouth and nose were just pouring blood and other matter. After a
long time of CPR, we just got no where (his heart stopped within a
few minutes). It is so frustrating to feel someone die right in
front of you and not be able to do anything. Mercy Air came, but it
wasnt of any use. All of you guys, wear seatbelts, wear helmets if
you must ride and remember. It can happen to anyone. I have no
freaking idea how he got such a devastating head injury through this
full face helmet. Im an adrenaline junky myself, but we are all just
here a little while so be careful. Apparently the guy just lost it
in a corner at 35mph. I'm getting a little sick of people around me
dying. Thanks for letting me vent. Also apparently there was another
two people who died on cole grade road today on motorcycles and the
paramedics said this was their third time doing cpr this week.

Re: Bad afternoon
 

Heard about that on the news today. Is tha the one that shut down 78 for a
while? Sad thing, someone out for a Sunday ride won't ever have that
opportunity again. Terrible to see someone die while you're helpless to do
anything to stop it. You did a truly heroic deed today and I for one commend
you. These days, sadly, many people don't want to get involved.

I truly feel for the boy. He lost his father today and this is no way to
watch a parent go.

I agree fully with what you say about being safe. We only have one life to
live...

Hi Kevin,
Don't blamed yourself for not, being able to clear his throat or
something. Your description tells me he had a broken neck with a jugular
or artery ruptured into it. I think you save a lot of lives by letting
him go.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
