What happened?

It was one of our school fundraiser a trail bike ride and a young lady rode off the track and down a steep hill and came off her bike head frist. She was in alot of pain and she was complaining of  back pain. We didnt want to move her.  As it was up a steep hill and I had a locate breakon so i set it off. I was so amazed at how the helicopter could pin ponit us so fast and they landed on top of a hill within meters of the patient. They load her onto a board then we carried her to the helicopter, then they were up in the air.

Words of wisdom

Always carry an ACR.
