Air Ambulances Race To Crashed Chopper's Rescue | Helicopter ER | Real Responders

A chopper crashes and both air ambulances are scrambled to the rescue. A cyclist is fighting for his life after he and his partner are thrown into the air. And Paramedic Paul is called to handle a reluctant patient.
This popular British series takes viewers into the cockpits of rescue choppers to experience life or death dramas, high-speed action and colourful characters. The missions are often the only hope for the critically ill or badly injured in England's most unreachable landscapes.

Imagine being in a helicopter crash - and then being put back into a helicopter. Flight to the hospital is their best chance of survival, but how scary.

[@1jazzyphae]

That actually happened with a helimed copter. They were lifting off with a patient. They crashed into a camp site hitting a parked RV. The video is on youtube. Freaking insane.

[@catbriggs8362]

@@1jazzyphae Wow, that is so sad. It had to have shaken up the helimed team. They're amazing, though. I don't know what we have here (U.S.) but if I'm ever in an accident, I hope it's in Britain with a Helimed choper nearby...

[@JointSnipe]

Just after 38:40, there was a beautiful showcase of communication skills. The patient wasn't very cooperative and the doctors' questions weren't being answered clearly. The doctor recognized his efforts weren't getting crucial information to him so he flipped it, he asked him a very clear open question and from that moment he was in control of the diagnosis. It might seem small but you'd be surprised how many professionals are unable to keep this calm with combative/agitated individuals and become irritated and stressed themselves. Asking open questions in a medical emergency requires a vast amount of expertise because doctors would rather tunnel down to their diagnosis with closed questions. By asking the patient repeated open questions he gave the patient some control which he wanted to have, but it was working beautifully, the patient came to the conclusion that he couldn't remember what happened right up until the moment the doctor told him "well that's why we need to figure out what happened", a pivotal moment in the control of the conversation, it flipped right back to the doctor because the patient now understood. Communication is beautiful.

The helicopter is an amazing invention and tool. This was my chosen career from late 1978 until 2010. I'll be 72 years old in a few weeks, and still remember some of the peculiar situations very well that I believe saved human lives due to the helicopters' unique capabilities. Have a great, enjoyable life, and be safe 🙏🙏🇺🇸

Hi this makes me appreciate all the doctors in our world 10x more

[@randlerichardson5826]

It’s amazing how someone’s neck is broken but their heart still beats. It’s a miracle for sure. I know all of them don’t but it’s like the heart is on its own circuit or something

[@rickynieves3144]

That's sweet 😊 The cyclist's main concern was his sweetheart ❤

[@rickynieves3144]

Watching this show and shows like it and shows like Coast Guard Alaska is really making me rethink living somewhere remote. I don't think I'd like being more than about 15 minutes on good roads from advanced medical care 😕

[@stacycamacho59]

I appreciate all EMS services and anyone in the medical field. Today we had a major brown out. It is so sad.. we lack ambulances in our county of 250K. I think a total of maybe 10. We are in Yakima County, WA.

[@sarahalaswad3229]

[@annamarielewis7078]

[@martinmilner14]

This insight into what can go wrong with so many outdoor sports has made me decide to sell my bike, stop walking up hills and never contemplate getting on a motorbike. I'm so impressed with the calmness and competence of the paramedics. In comparison, the commentary gets unnecessarily panicky and it's a little tedious being told endlessly that helicopters get people to hospital quicker than ambulances. A very small moan about an otherwise excellent series.

[@savannahjames3259]

Wow they are so lucky to be alive

[@BLAB-it5un]

These are great presentations and I love seeing how operations like this vary from country to country. Unless I am missing something, though, it appears the choppers are left to their own to figure out a landing zone. Do they not get any support from services on the ground? Where I am in the states an engine company is assigned the task of locating and securing a landing zone whereas it appears here the pilot and crew are doing so entirely on their own.

[@barryg4927]

I said the same thing regarding the landing zone because of the United States emergency medical helicopters have the highest accident rate of any aircraft type in the nation. And it’s been like that for decades. We have to do much better about EMS operation safety over here. So this makes me extra nervous, watching how these helicopter ambulances in the UK are like you said left on their own.

[@barryg4927]

Spot on! And did you notice how the second partner flight paramedic just leaves the other partner by themselves in the back when they are returning with the patient who is in critical condition to a trauma center? The pilot is perfectly capable of handling the mission by themselves, and that other paramedic should be in the back, assisting their partner. This just makes me totally shake my head.

[@marcman94]

Some very unfortunate news that was not mentioned in the ending of this story, is what happened to the pilot of the helicopter. That part of the program is filmed in July 2016, and some media outlets writing about the event, reported that the pilot passed away in hospital a week after the incident.

[@terririckert7069]

Marcman94 --- AGREE 100%. I think everyone would like to find out the outcome !!!!!!!! It is INCOMPETENT REPORTING !!!!!! ESPECIALLY SINCE IT HAS BEEN 5+ YEARS SINCE THE ACCIDENT & REPORTING !!!!!!!!

[@annamarielewis7078]

I’m so sad to hear that😔

[@pandefona]

He’s blurred out in the footage. Very likely that his family / relatives disagreed on showing him and talking about his medical state. At least in most countries in Europe, your health data is 100% confidential so it would be illegal to mention it without consent.

[@h.stephenpaul7810]

@@terririckert7069 There is no need to yell. Relax.

[@ludocattin2788]

We didn’t see the pilot in the program. It was only said that he had the worst injuries. Of course, it’s really sad to find out that he passed away.

[@mipajaro1]

Wow, very well done.

[@rickynieves3144]

Why can't people just trust the medical professionals to know how to transport and where to transport best?

[@rottis5042]

for the helicopter accident, really makes you think what could've caused it: the pilot was experienced, it was a clear day in the middle of a field, i wonder what went wrong

[@Tigershark_3082]

Technical issues, possibly

[@barryg4927]

It’s interesting to see that none of these UK air crews are using the Phillips monitors from the UK. Hmmmm🤔

[@Reditold]

My mother broke her ankle like the lady did around the 30 minute mark. Then, in shock, she tried to stand on it again. Twice. She shattered it completely and her ankle is now made up of some rods and screws. In the process of fixing it, the surgeons caused severe nerve damage as well. She didn't know she could sue until several years later and ended up missing out on what one lawyer told us would be a multi-million dollar suit.

[@bepowerification]

Yeah, when you shatter your ankle by standing on it twice after its broken its really great to sue the doctors who tried to save it..

[@Reditold]

@@bepowerification The doctor failed the surgery twice, resulting in her spreading nerve damage. The doctor failed to do their job in America where the medical bill was 6-figures. They should be sued.

[@annaroy1694]

What a selfish attitude. Your mother causes severe damage by being stupid then you have the nerve to blame the surgeons who tried to save her ankle!

[@mjb12141963]

Which is worse. Falling 30 feet (9.14 meters) to the ground, or falling 30 feet (9.14 meters) to the ground in a helicopter? I knew a couple of guys who were medics in Vietnam. I can't imagine what they saw.

[@shanewhite1977]

Falling to the ground 30 without the helicopter is worse, in my opinion, as the helicopter eats some of the energy od the impact for you

[@barryg4927]

Hey, I’m just confused in a couple of things. Number one from the aspect of safety… Why are your helicopter crews landing at these scene flights without any type of landing zone set up and safety/security by law enforcement and or the fire department? Seems like an incredibly dangerous practice just to set down anywhere, hoping that people will stay back and out of the LZ. Secondly, I am absolutely baffled as to why your second medical crewmember… Flight paramedic number two is sitting up front next to the pilot on a return flight with a critical trauma patient. Why is that flight paramedic not back in the Patient area working with the patient and their partner? They can do for resource management assisting the pilot with landings and takeoffs from the back of the aircraft with the other paramedic partner. This seems like another unsafe practice and also putting a further undue stress/ workload on one paramedic .
