Anyone done one, anyone been involved in organising one before?
The last time I did any first aid training was 20 years ago in the scouts so I'm very doubtful on any of it.
So, the reason I'm asking- on way into town this morning I saw the aftermath of a cyclist vs a truck, I was only about 10 cars (20 seconds) behind the initial incident, people were stopping I assume to help, as I went past it was apparent it was bad, I was hoping the cyclist was just unconscious as he was laying face down not moving, whatever helmet he was wearing was obliterated and only the straps remained.
I didn't stop because I didn't want to get in the way of anyone that may have known what they was doing.
It transpires that he was dead at the scene, papers are stating due to heart attack of a 40 year old male, I can only think that the head injuries would have contributed to it.
Now its one thing to think about Vinny jones pumping on a chest to 'Stayin alive' and another to have any proper training!
So- any ideas, and anyone interested in doing one (Lofo's?)
