What To Do In The Event Of A Crash

[@bighead1006]

This was very helpful thanks

[@A_AAA232]

really good advice from John and great acting from Conor! :) i always carry disposable gloves and a small first aid kit now - never know when accidents can happen on a ride!

how to heal yourself in the case of drop...important issue for ollie

[@percivalrc]

I will save this to 'watch later'... And maybe really watch the video later... But if Ollie was in it, I will watch it right away... Just saying...

[@l3gaming27]

Very helpful medical advise, I had terrible concussion after getting hit by a car at a round about it is one of the worst feelings. My question is what happens to your bike if you are cycling alone? the ambulance crew were reluctant to take my bike so i dont know what would have happened if they would have said no they cant take it.

[@diegosteam7776]

An advice based on last year’s experience - if you need to be taken by ambulance to the emergency room, do not forget to bring your helmet with you. The trauma doctors will find it helpful to look at the helmet and assess the severity of the crash (if you happen to hit your head on the tarmac).

[@beermonster1234]

I found a cyclist during lockdown 1.0 last year having a heart attack lying in the road down a quiet country lane by himself. Well worth learning some basics because you never know when you might be able to do something to help another out.

[@MiseEnZheng]

I saw a pedestrian get absolutely totalled by a lorry one morning, and although I called in the ambulance, I didn't know much of what to do. My work offers a 3 day first aid course so I booked straight on there. Was really surprised at how unbelievably simple the interventions are that can save lives.

[@goodboy5]

indeed, learning CPR is one of the best skills to have

[@bobicabayo]

[@michaeltrollope8048]

Something I did was create an excel sheet (Google forms) with names, Id numbers, basically medical info etc with all the riders in our group. I then stored it on the cloud so that we could all access it with mobile devices. This is a great reminder I need to do that again with another group I'm part of, thanks.

[@geoffers1985]

Most smartphones have a medical ID section on them now and ambulance staff know to look for them

[@PoserExtreme]

Always check the bike first! And ask someone to pause Strava, don't want to lose those training gains. Kidding aside, ride safe always. It's also good if riders have basic first aid training, it could save lives.

[@MiseEnZheng]

I tell you what saved me a ridiculous amount of discomfort in the winter months when a taxi clipped me on a corner... a foil blanket. Weighs nothing, but really REALLY keeps the heat in while waiting for help.

[@katiel7166]

I always have one when I go hiking - I know a couple of people whose lives were probably saved by having one - but it hadn't occurred to me to have one on the bike. You could stick in with you spare inner tube. As y9u say, weighs nothing but is amazingly effective.

[@MiseEnZheng]

@@katiel7166 Yeah, I also remember climbing up to preist hole cave on dove cragg, and there were foil blankets in an army surplus box which meant could sit and truly enjoy the cave for a time without becoming hypothermic.

[@Phillip-hq1bv]

Moulage kits are used in first aid and more in-depth training (used in my EMT classes years ago) and are quite realistic.

[@CyclingOffToSomewhereIDK]

Definitely a refresher. I took a EMT course a couple decades back and this advice is spot on. I used my knowledge one time, not as a cyclist or on a cyclist, to do CPR on a elderly gentleman while out assisting my own disabled mother shopping for groceries. He went down, I went out to the road to direct emergency services, he stopped breathing. I rushed back in and started cpr. The firefighters that responded told me "If this guy makes it it is because of you." Well, he was 93 years old.. but he did make it, long enough to say goodbye to his family that had to come in from a couple different states. Got him 6 more days. Very useful reminder, this. Thanks

[@Alphard_adventures]

What three words is a life saver

[@westwingaero]

probably one of the best ever videos on this channel, keep up the good work

[@mathewrose2951]

I hope this video encourages everyone to take (or retake) a first aid course. As a school headmaster, I was appalled at the number of teachers who tried to help a teacher up and move her recently after she fainted following her second dose of the Covid vaccine. Clear the area of hazards, assess make sure the person is safe, and send someone for help. Even people who have taken Red Cross training need to retake the course frequently so they respond properly in an actual emergency. If anything in the video surprises you, watch it three more times until it's second nature.

[@gilleshug2736]

Really good video! As a cyclist and member of the Red-Cross, it's really nice to see videos like that! The only drawback is that you don't explain how to see if someone is breathing! Quick explanation would be cool! Overall really nice topic, thanks for that!

[@LUMIGOCHA]

And as a member of the Red-Cross i think you have the ability to quickly explain to rest of viewers how to do that in the comment section ...

[@slow-roll]

James Cordon did a great job on this one. 👏

[@adrianreinneiryt]

Hahahahahaha

[@H457ur]

I carry a Brave Soldier brand first aid kit (no I don’t work from them). The kit is cycling specific and is sealed in a Mylar bag. It weighs next to nothing and fits easily into a jersey pocket.

[@douglaswagner311]

Great episode... thanks to the Presenters ... we all ride so much we NEVER expect any of this to happen but when it does, you’ll be ready I watched it twice... very sound advice and suggestions

[@jimreppinb14]

Love the idea behind this video, as a clinician I really want everyone to be aware of neck injuries following a crash. Generally the speed at which we crash and the forces involved if a car was involved can cause C-spine injuries and if the person moves or is moved too much it can cause paralysis. If you really want to be able to help someone I encourage you to attend a first aid course, learn DRSABCD and if you're ever in doubt call for an ambulance!

[@GOlone9597]

Check the bike first. The person who crashed will thank you. 😄😄😄

[@willbowen3101]

Don’t forget to stop their Strava too.

[@docontra4921]

While you most likely said it tongue in cheek, that was my exact feeling on my latest crash ☺ (sometime between ~2016-2018). Lost my rear grip turning right on an intersection at ~20kph and fell; I landed pretty much behind a parked vehicle (with plenty of room to spare), bike stopped smack dab in the middle of an (effectively) single lane street. Cue 3-4 people heading to where I landed, and no-one with the foresight to remove the bike from the middle of the street. Got back up and picked the bike up myself out of pure spite and anger, walked ~1 block, got back riding.

[@odarpgaming4276]

So true 😁

[@Lordthidias]

Flesh heals. Campagnolo doesn't.

[@Roq-stone]

Yeah, if the bike is no good after the crash, it doesn’t make sense looking at the rider. I mean, what’s the use of a rider without a bike?!?

[@charlys.6747]

Making this video is a great idea guys ! I have the chance of being a trained rescuer (thanks to my job for paying for the training!), but I guess most of people are not trained and might freak out or just don't know how to react in case of a crash, and even if you guys only showed the basic stuffs, it might save lives somehow. Thank you GCN ;)

[@francoisthomas4930]

Made me laugh when I saw the notification for this video when I'm sitting in a hospital bed with a broken collarbone from my first crash ever this weekend

[@jeffreylee5770]

Great helpful topic! What should every long distance rider/commuter carry for first aid? I was in a bad crash with another cyclist a few years ago (not my fault), and several people jumped in to help almost instantly. One other cyclist actually handed me a bunch of large band-aid and some alcohol gel for disinfecting wounds, saying that the same sort of crash had happened to him just the day before. Bike vs bike crashes can be very bad with bleeding wounds, broken bones, concussions etc.

[@martinandersson5833]

Thanks for bringing up another important issue! Don’t forget the antiseptic sprays and fluids as well as antibiotic creams. There are some nasty bugs in every road rash. And put your helmet on every time you go out on the bike👍

[@Austibogo]

I’m watching this video as my collarbone is broken 😂 Now I know what to do! I’m just ready to go cycling again it’s been so long since I’ve had a nice ride. Great video as always 👍

I remember a broke my elbow once and had to cycle 10 miles to the A&E

[@AlaskaFrankTheWriter]

Perfect. Got hit by a car on my commute to work this very morning. The lady in the car was in more chock than I. She called the ambulance though and made sure I was comfortable while waiting. I was lucky, only my left shoulder that is broken.

[@PaulingtonGoose]

That sucks! Hope it's a smooth and comfortable recovery!

[@badbitecrew]

[@cyclingsfatsuma9808]

Oh no. Hate to tell you but I broke mine in early January. I've just got back on bike this week but still got a lot of physio ahead due to muscle damage. Good luck and listen to the professionals

[@AlaskaFrankTheWriter]

@@cyclingsfatsuma9808 yes. I have "only" muscle and soft tissue damage but I guess I'll be doing some recovery stuff later on as well. Hope you recover well.

[@matt-10229]

Some great advice in this video. It's also worth noting that you can store your emergency details in your phone and many phones have a dedicated I.C.E (In Case of Emergency) setting that can be accessed by anyone from the lockscreen - on iOS this is in the Health app and the information is access via the "emergency" button on the lockscreen number pad, then "Medical ID". You can add any health conditions, allergies (to medication), and emergency contacts (Mum and Dad or your partner). There are also numerous wrist bands you can get so always worth checking a person's wrist or watch strap to see if the emergency details are there. Importantly, NOTE THE TIME you found a person or the accident took place and try and keep a mental note if you're waiting for an ambulance which can be a while in the rural areas we like to cycle. Use the notes app on your phone and keep the operator up-to-date if the casualty's condition changes.

[@cyclingsfatsuma9808]

Or carry an "If I'm unconscious/ dead please call..." Card in your under saddle bag or pocket

[@madwank]

The lengths Connor and Manon will go to these video is amazing. Self inflicted punch to the eye and deliberate road-rash.

[@JasonLZimmerman]

[@greg_loper]

After a challenging crash last year my wife bought me an identification bracelet that has my name and emergency contacts on it. Thankfully I have not needed it but I am glad that I have it on 'just in case'

[@supercurioTube]

These simulated wounds are rather realistic! Good advice overall, although I'm surprised calling an ambulance was a rather infrequent suggestion. Is it because it's the UK, or because it's filmed in COVID times?

[@MiseEnZheng]

Good question! When I had an accident in the dim and distant past, I remember being hurt and embarrassed and just wanting to get out of the situation... so I walked away and didn't get help because I didn't want to cause a fuss. The accident involved a van, and wasn't my fault - I ended up with a broken hand and broken ribs... but because I managed to get back to my work place, the police, my colleagues and my family didn't comprehend the seriousness of the accident. It split my helmet. Most uncomfortable 6 weeks of recovery ever and being mage to feel like an impostor the whole time...

[@Kimberly_Sparkles]

The makeup is bomb.

[@boyobane1590]

I had a pretty nasty crash in January of 2020. A pelaton of 100 or so riders went by at the time and two peeled off to help. I was a bit shaken because it was the first time I'd come off the bike since I was a small child, and I had a nasty gash on my arm that was bleeding freely, so it was lucky they did help or I might not have figured out how to put my bike back together to get home. Was able to ride home and tend to myself without having to phone for help, which is nice.

[@ZOMBIEHEADSHOTKILLER]

what 3 words is such a great mapping idea, but it sucks that soo few people know about it. ive never met any one in real life who knows about it, let alone uses it. im gladd you mentioned, get that word out even more!

[@FlatSpinMan]

This was such a clear, important video. It needs to be made more prominent, ideally stickies or else referred to in many GCN videos.

[@tomstephenson5452]

Holy smokes that is commitment from Connor, crashing for a KZbin video ....

[@mattszrejter6785]

Lots of nice tips. The only one that goes against my training was what to do in the event of approaching an unconscious person. Yes check for breathing, but you should move the individual as they did in the video. Crashes like this situation have a higher chance of a neck or spinal injury, moving them without proper neck support can cause more harm than help.

[@Svartez]

Great acting from Connor, get him on an episode of Casualty

[@silam4465]

Great video... keep up the wonderful content. Having been knocked off by a car and another fall of my own making in the past few months, great tips to have.

[@channul4887]

Thanks for the warning about upsetting users, I feel much safer now.

[@markricketts6957]

The best advice I was ever given about a really serious accident (not the minor ones mostly listed here) is to do as little as possible to keep everyone alive and not getting any worse until the ambulance arrives. It is so easy to make a mistake if you do not know what you are doing or what the exact injury is.

[@domestik834]

I always keep a first aid kit for motorcyclists with me. It's much smaller than a first aid kit for cars and not as expensive as dedicated outdoor/cycling first aid-kits (but not that small).

[@muhd.nazreennazorex1165]

Nice! I've encountered a mobility device user who was flung a couple meters away just because he ram through a speed bump at rocket speed..in middle of the night..and yes..with no lights.. so yeah, practice safe riding habits and know your routes during the day before shreding it away~ during the night. Also, share some of those treacherous roads on a community platform cause, who knows?

[@DougMorley1]

Good sensible advice laden video. The bit about personal details carried with you at all times is an essential - name, address, next of kin, phone numbers are obvious but listing allergies, medicines taken, blood group info can save life. Also if an injury is bad enough eg blood loss and dirt in the wound make a note to ask for a tetanus shot if you haven't had one in the last ten years.

[@01banksjon]

Really important video kudos for putting it out there, a little bit of first aid really could save someone's life!

Connor's rash looks real!! Two years ago I was on a ride when I noticed a woman that just came on to the trail with a front tire that was low in air. Just as I started saying "your front needs air" she crashed face down and was quite injured. I have the St. John Ambulance course but on that day I had nothing with me. No first aide kit and no cell phone. The best I could for her was keep her out of danger and try to make her comfortable until someone could call an Ambulance. I felt completely useless now I always carry a cell phone and a small first aide kit.

[@johnreese3762]

Great info/video! Thanks!

[@ThePonycat]

Good video. And I know it may seems like a bit much but I always bring a First aid kit with me. A light one though. And last year I got to use it on myself. Came in handy but now I have to restock it. And it was only one of those small entry-level ones it was better than nothing and I added some my own stuff to.

The last time I got a concussion, I was riding my bike around *my own yard* to evaluate a repair. My husband just shook his head and said, “I was just asking myself, ‘Does she really need a helmet to ride in the yard?’” Yes. Yes I do. I don’t get on anything with wheels without a helmet.

Three and a half weeks from a severe crash in a 3-man team 35mile TT -> 2 hr surgery adding a plate and 10 screws in the clavicle. Several other "minor" injuries. Wasn't much my buddies or I could do. I assure you there was no way I could ride even if I'd put a sling on. Fortunately, it wasn't a compound fracture and my helmet protected my head.

[@davekiely2912]

For a serious head knock you must replace the helmet after treatment and recovery. Even if there’s no noticeable damage to the helmet .. it must be replaced! My 2015 accident caused me to end up with a Traumatic Brain Injury but my helmet saved my life. My wife (the nurse) gave me CPR until the ambulance came (she also saved my life) .. so .. if you’re riding in a group .. make sure someone has CPR training just in case. I’m back on the bike but a bit more careful about downhills.

[@mini1293blue]

It's important to note immediately after an accident you may not feel any pain at all for a while despite having broken bones.

[@rcranes2227]

The way I see him dressing that scrape, that dressing is going to stick to the wound badly and that will hurt taking off. Skin scrapes are not going to be a significant amount of blood loss. As long as your scrape didn't compromise a large vein, let it bleed for a bit until you get home, the blood will help deliver important cells to begin the infection fighting and healing processes. Once home, wash it, well in the shower with soap and water. Rinse. You may reinitiate some bleeding, that's not necessary, but OK if it's what was needed to clean the wound. To dress it, use some sort of petroleum jelly based triple antibiotic ointment to cover the inside of a gauze pad, and then dress the wound with that. The ointment will keep the gauze from sticking to the wound. I like to adhere the gauze with a big sheet of Tegaderm (as sold in the US, don't know what it's called in other countries, but it's what they use to cover up your IV when you go to the hospital). It sticks nicely, it's very flexible for when you scraped near a joint, and it doesn't hurt as much as tape does coming off. Once the wound stops oozing (once inflammation goes down, usually a day for me), I let it dry, preferably with whatever extremity bent while it dries (so that the scab doesn't crack later). Then your body forms the best dressing out there. It'll get soft with each shower and best to let it dry after a shower so you don't stick to the inside of your pants or shirt. Important: if your skin around wound gets more red and swollen, see a doctor. Draw a line around the redness with a permanent marker to guage whether the redness is spreading if you're unsure. It'll also give the docs and nurses an idea of how fast the spread is when you go see them.

Thank you GCN! I had my first crash yesterday in a group ride. I stressed solo through a turn and my back wheel slid on gravel on the road that I had not noticed. The world just tilted 90 degrees and hit me on my knee, forearm and helmet. I got 2 big bruises. Some kind people from the group came back and checked that me and my bike was fine, then we carried on for 40km :)

[@MiseEnZheng]

Shortly after this video dropped, I was in the worst traffic collision of my life last week. Torn aorta. 7 fractured ribs (2 in multiple places). Completely snapped hubris. Punctured lung. Chest needed draining. Contusions on the liver and a torn kidney. 2 operations and 8 days in the high dependency. It was all caught on camera, but it is with the police at the moment. I was doing 30 in a 30 and a van pulled out in front of me without looking. It is being treated as "driving without due care and attention" and the driver will receive a slap on the wrist, points and a fine. The logic in this situation... if the van driver had done the same thing but coming down the road was an 18 wheeler, the van driver's carelessness would've only cause his own demise. Like wise had it been a van of a similar size, airbags and handbags and everyone would've been fine... It was an absolute "nothing I could do" situation - zero time to react. While cycling is a passion of mine, I can't ride a bike on these roads anymore knowing trauma is around every corner. I am heartbroken both figuratively and literally.

[@bernielanger5679]

I crashed a few weeks ago while riding on my own. Didn't break anything, but got a lot of road rash, and some deep cuts on my hand. For a cyclist, the initial response is often, Can I keep riding? Even when you don't hit your head or break anything, the shock and adrenaline in the first few minutes can make it tough to think straight. And when the adrenaline wears off, you might feel very faint, which doesn't help either. Fortunately, some passersby came and decided to call 911. EMTs assessed me, bandaged me up, and advised me to go to the hospital to get the road bits out of my skin. Note that usually, ambulances won't take your bike. I was lucky; one of the strangers who called 911 offered to hold the bike at his house, and I picked it up later. Today, my hand is still on the mend... I can ride inside, but not sure I trust myself to brake with my left hand yet, until the wound fully heals.
