Central Illinois MSF Coordinator, John Sudlow, uses his training

It was good to see you again at the SMSA conference in Billings, MT August 15th.  I hope your return trip was uneventful.  Unfortunately, ours was more eventful than we would have liked.

Wendy blacked out at 8,000 feet and fell off her bike at about 60mph in the Bighorn Mountains.  Thankfully, I had taken your Accident Scene Management course which proved very beneficial.  The first aid kit which
you put together for me also proved beneficial to the two EMTs who stopped immediately after the crash and started using supplies from it.

The good news is Wendy will be fine again in 6-8 weeks.  She is recovering from a broken scapula, broken clavicle, three broken ribs and a punctured lung. All her riding gear was shredded but protected her
well in the 145 foot slide down the highway.  The doctors and nurses all thanked her repeatedly for wearing all the gear. too!

THANK YOU FOR THE TRAINING AND THE CONFIDENCE TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE A MOTORCYCLE CRASH SCENE WHILE UNDER DURESS!

                                            ASMI Statement of Purpose

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 3% of Roadway crashes involve motorcyclists but 17% of Roadway fatalities were motorcyclists! The purpose of ASMI's Bystander Assistance Programs are to reduce injuries and fatailties to motorcyclists through First Response Education. We also expect to reduce rescuer injury through proper training. Our programs, based upon the US DOT First Responder Curriculum, are focused on Trauma rather than First Aid and CPR. All classes include a Lead instructor who is EMT or higher in medical training. For the price of a piece of chrome you can receive this invaluable training in just one to two days. Don't put this training off.
