Road Safety in Ireland .

[irlmin]

What a Week We have had in Ireland with road deaths , I am not going to get into causes and the blame game now , I will save that one for later . BUT I will ask all of you on here a question if You were the 1st to arrive at an accident scene would You know what to do I for one would not . and this was reinforced recently when a friend of mine came accross a very serious accident and He looked around the scene and saw one Guy not moving and another very seriously injured and chocking , He did not know what to do !! and had to wait for the emergency services to arrive , He had the presence of mind to call for them and watch approaching traffic etc . We are in a position to offer a Day long 1st Aid course By a Qualified Paramedic / instructor who will also issue certs on successfull completion of the course which We would propose to hold in Ballincollig in Cork . So Who is interested please give this some serious thought and let Me know if you would be interested enough to attend , if so the Club will arrange it .I would think a suitable Saturday might suit most People . I will need commitments for this and You never know the Day You could save a life with what you have learned .

Buph !!!!

[irlmin]

Is that a Yes Alvin

[1lightningd]

Yes, I spend all day on the roads and I have come across a few bad ones in my time,I have also been involved in a few, and almost sure I caused a few. This is a basic "Life Skill" that everyone should know,as you said you never know the time or place when you might need it,to save someones life or for them to save yours.
I also think it is great for a club to be offering something like this to its members.It just shows that we care.
Well done G.

All We need now is 10 names more and We can go ahead and organise it .

great idea

[1lightningd]

Tell Barry that the 12th one is free and he will be straight down ol: ol:

[irlmin]

Yeah , I suppose a 'dawk' of a defibrilator would do Barry no harm right enough .on second thoughts I can think of someone who would put both 'paddles' up to his ears .

[1lightningd]

THEY WOULD HAVE TO OPEN INNISCARRA DAM FOR THAT TO HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE SAME SAID PERSON ol: ol: ol:

[1lightningd]

C'mon people, we need a few to commit to this, it is a certified course and something everyone should do. It should also be good fun. So I want to see 10 names on this next time that I log on.

I'm not going to spoil this thread with Banter! :wink:

[irlmin]

I am going to post a pic that hopefully will make a few people wake up and think before they go out onto the roads , this is what happens when a Jeep meets a Mini in fog at 90 degrees , thankfully the driver walked away BUT think if a passenger had been sitting in the Mini . it can and does happen . as they said in a famous TV programe " be careful out there " .
