kpnuts Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Hi all just got back from taking my boss to Harrods to have her hair done. I was parked at the side of the road in my usual parking place when a woman opposite opened her car door as a motorcyclist was riding past, nearly cut his leg off so (don't know much but I am a trained first aider or was 3 years ago) I spent ten mins with my fist in his groin to stop the bleeding till the ambulance arrived. It was gory but the worst thing was the female car driver was in hysterics the whole time, it may seem callous but I did my best to ingore her and reassure pete he was more concerned about her, I could quite happily gagged her if my hands wernt busy doing other things, I actually feel quite sick now I'm home. This all happened about 1:30 this afternoon.
Jantrix Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Way to be johny-on-the-spot Ken. You stepped up, took some responsibility for your fellow man, and very likely saved his life. I commend you. Most people these days would be standing around snapping photos. Ata boy.
Foxer Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Yup .. I agree .. commendable job .. and well done. The woman was most likely in a fright from what SHE did .. opening door into traffic as if she was the only one there. Don't let her bother you.. you did what should have been done.
tbill Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 good thing you were there, way to step up and help out some one in dire need.
Harry P. Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Congratulations to you on a job well done. Now... how much did the wife's getting her hair done at Harrod's set you back? Quite a bit, I'll bet!
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 good thing you were there, way to step up and help out some one in dire need. Yup. Good man.
jbwelda Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 yeah man good on ya, someone will smile down upon you for that one day. jb
slusher Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Brave and thoughtful to help someone with that injury. Is his leg going to be saved???
Austin T Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Coming from someone who rides this is an absolutely terrifying story,while I'm sure the rider could have done nothing in such a short time (Sounds like it had to have nearly perfect timing to do so much damage) this should serve as a reminder to always be aware of your surroundings no matter what type of motor vehicle you are operating. Kudos to you for jumping in there and putting that training to use.
kpnuts Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Hi all just a quick update I phoned the police this morning a got a very helpful woman, I explained what happened and where yesterday and asked how he was she said she would find out and get back to me, well ten mins ago she did he had surgery and is recovering his wife wants my address so she and her daughter can thank me in person, as the doctors assured her I certainly saved his life(I hadn't even thought of the bigger picture of course he's got a mum and dad, probably grandparents, maybe brothers and sisters) the thought of all those people all wanting to thank me for doing such a little thing, makes me want to cry and embarrasses the he'll out of me I said tell her that I am just glad he's ok and appreciate the thanks but that's all I need.
