If you've ever enjoyed watching Stan's videos, consider giving back by donating to his GoFundMe. He spends so much time making free videos and never asks for anything in return: www.gofundme.com/stmmbikefund
The guy checking on him is the definition of a great friend…every advice he gave him to not move and not take off the helmet was a good call to make. He took every moment serious and didn’t underestimate the possible severity of his injury regardless of how chill the rider seemed after crashing. Major props to that friend! He’s a real one!
Yeah really! The only thing they did wrong is let him lay down... that lowers blood pressure and could potentially hurt his back more, other that he's a good lad
i think car drivers/bikers near him would see him,and there are probs parts of his bike on the ground,they will check it out but then its maybe too late
There's new technology to prevent this. In fact, I'm doing a project to prevent this. A helmet that detects collision and sends an automatic help signal to hospital.
Can i take my helmet off? "Not yet man" Im gonna call ariel "dont think you should do that" I have to get out of the water "I dont think thats a good idea"
As a first responder myself, the only thing I think he could have done better is minimizing the amount of movement. Hold him down a little bit if need be, don't put a lot of pressure but still don't let the victim move about. What might seem like a minor injury can turn out to be something that is life threatening or even permanent (such as paralysis). That and you have to take into account pain tolerance as well as the adrenaline. Other than that, I think these guys did great. Found him, assessed the situation, dialed 911, kept the helmet on, made sure the bike was away from him to prevent further injury, and informed FR of what they knew when they arrived on scene. Good job guys on this overall.
@@dontaskaboutmyname6876 it wasnt a joke. I had 3 different by standars calling 911. I needed someone to know what was going incase my injuries were worst then I thought
Honestly, thats the first reaction for many of us. I remember my crash, i flew into the ditch, through bushes and everything at 60 km/h, the bike hit a electrical post. I got up as soon as i could (3 attempts of getting on my feet while still tumbling) and once i got up i ran to the bike immediately. Wasnt until my friends arrived while i was in complete denial of my bike being non repairable (frame bent, front forks snapped off, a complete shitshow) that they said to me "dude, your whole right side (from below the chest down) is soaked in blood". My response "oh, ok. But look at my bike dude". Wasnt until half way to the hospital in the ambulance that i realized that im actually badly hurt (i had even tried to refuse to go to hospital, although its tax payed at 0 cost for me).
@@klementalb4614 the helmet should be taken off, but it has to be done right ,else you might make neck-injuries worse , which would be very bad after you remove the helmet you should out on a splint ,but nobody has a splintwith them
I just want to commend you guys for staying cool. You made 99% good decisions considering you were probably in shock too. A great example of how to handle a situation like this. For those still learning or don't know: Never remove the helmet or try to remove any gear. Don't move the person or let them try to get up. Just try to reassure them and keep them calm, even if you have to lie. Ask as many questions and get as much information as you can without scaring them.. such as "what hurts? Where? Can you move? Do you feel heavy?" Look and smell for fuel and make sure the bike is off, if there is liquid fuel and you can safely turn the bike off, do so.. if not very gently move the victim a short distance to safety, same for if they're in the middle of the road. The shortest and most gentle you possibly can with as many hands as possible to make sure every part is supported. Anyone and everyone who rides should take a safety course or watch some videos on emergency response.. it could save a life or stop someone from being paralyzed. My friends family owns an ALF, and there is a guy in there who is paralyzed because he crashed with his wife and she pulled his helmet off right away. She pinched his spine by trying to help. Never do that.
ReCount Live it is something to joke about twat it was a year ago lol and he decided to go like 140 that’s his fault I support him and I actually gave money to the go fund me but I won’t be told it’s not something to laugh about
@ What sucks is that right after a crash the police ask you what happened and you cant even recall what street your on. Major props though dude. Broken Ribs suck.
@ and that's why people shouldn't move, it stops you from feeling stuff so people move and end up paralyzed for life moving because they didn't know their neck or back had broken vertebrae. This guy was right to tell his friend not to move, friend should listen
One thing i learned from guys no matter what happened just don't break down stay strong and act strong even if it feels like taking your last breathe i really appreciate u hats off to all the boys
“NooOoOOooO my bike” while attempting to scramble out of the puddle with a soaked ass and a truckload of broken bones. This is true rider spirit right here.
He felt fine because of the shock and the adrenaline rush accompanying the crash. Pain was minimal. Honestly him moving so much had me on edge. So glad he's okay despite all the damage. Life is so precious. You are such a good friend for trying your best to keep him calm and from moving.
Satsui Nohado He stated he was following his friend too much during the video, all bikes are different and so are all drivers. He overestimated his bikes ability, more than likely needs different tires, or he needs to let off that accelerator and not put himself in that situation.
My ex was a biker, and ended up in a coma for a month, parelyzed for a year, and hearing you talk so realy nicely with your friend, warms my heart, i hope he fully recoverd now2021
Im happy Dan has such an awesome friend in such a terrible moment. Kudos to you for doing every thing right and keeping him calm, i know he appreciates that so much.
UncleRocco's Modern Life I don’t condone speeding but at least they weren’t doing wheelies at 120 in the middle of a highway while wearing shorts and a t shirt
I know it's been almost two years since you posted this video of your friend's motorcycle accident, but this was a great capture of the actual accident and I hope he made a full recovery. You guys continue having fun, but please be careful and know your limits. Your bodies weren't designed to withstand that kind of situation.
Way to keep him cool, collected, and focused on himself (what matters) and not the condition of the bike (which doesn't matter). As someone in an ambulance once, it's one thing to hear sirens, and it's another to hear them and know they're coming for you. Stay safe 🖤
It’s called adrenaline! It’s a amazing thing! I have seen people walk around on a open book fracture of the pelvis! Guy broke both hips in a car accident and was refusing medical aid for a good 20 minutes until the adrenaline levels dropped and he started to feel the intense pain that comes with that type of break!
Its never good to take a Full head helmet off after an accident. if your neck is partially fractured you could fracture it completely when pulling the helmet off.
I fell off my onewheel at 22 mph. I have a huge scar on my knee (all my skin came off) my nose started dripping what looked like pee. The first thing that hit the ground was my head. 2 of my friends just started riding around and racing for fun. The other 2 helped me. Another time I was at a playground with my friends. I fell from like 20 feet and onto my back. They just laughed while I rolled on the ground in pain. Then I limped towards help in pain, and trying to breathe. I wish I had friends this good.
Kaylin A. I imagined a bloody broken mess at the bottom of the ditch and was so relieved when I found him in tact. It was self-relief more than self-reassurance.
Great attitude by telling your friend not to move or remove the helmet while he was complaining about his back pain, you're a good friend mate ! Cheers from Brazil
Mr LightMode exactly! You should add that feature on your LightMode thingy majig. As an Emergency Medical Technician you know what you're doing, not removing the helmet, limit the movement, check for bleeding. All in all that was some good TLC on your part 😄
For me the most disturbing thing in this video is not even falling itself, but how he's moving after that. I mean every his move in this vid is very-very scary. Especially now, knowing how severe injuries were. Hope he'll fully recover in no time. For everyone reading this comment: that's why YOU DON'T MOVE AT ALL until paramedics come(or in this case - control that injured person won't move). This simple thing can literally save your live. Once again i wish good and full recovery to Stan.
If a buddy wipes out, LEAVE THEIR HELMET ON AND KEEP THEM STILL. Spinal injuries are invisible and they might not even know they have one until much later. Adrenaline blocks out pain and numbness. Be a good friend and help them stay good.
Reading where you put "don't move until helo comes" I just thought about last month my dad was crushed by a tree and he was in alot of pain and my mom and I said to go to the hospital but nope. In the morning he DROVE HIMSELF to the hospital and found out he had a broken shoulder 3 broken ribs and a collapsed lung. So the doctor said that my dad shouldn't have lived through the night. So if you feel pain. CALL FOR HELP
Damn he just vanished, you were in the ditch with him and still couldn't find him right away. Imagine if he was by himself, how would anyone find him? Scary
Wonderful job remaining calm and providing accurate guidance! Well done! It's also really great to see all the protective gear you all wear just in case young kids are watching this. It's too often people do not gear up properly and end up paying the price.
Fireman: Do you remember anything that happened? Stan: Uhh, yea, but in the moment I was thinking like "oh shit, I'm gonna die" Pretty much every rider's first thought when they are about to go down
420 YEET yea I’m good now and I broke my leg in 20 different places which cut the pulse from my left foot so that amputated my leg 9 inches below the knee, I split my liver in half so I had to get a liver transplant, got seizures now, had 17 surgeries, was in the hospital for 7 months and was in rehab for 1 month and I was only 17 and it happened in the beginning of my senior year and I passed only going to school for 2 months
always and always 1st call 911. as this guy did, he told other guys call it right away, and he went down to chek up on his friend. everything was on point. well done for treating this this way.
Really great, how you handled the situation. That was perfect first aid. Preventing shock by calming down everything. Very good: not taking his helmet off, when he talks about pain in the back. Really good reactions. A perfect video how to deal with such incidents.
