Ok guys, saw a few things this weekend that really were not a smart thing to do. If you see a accident where the bike lands on the rider crushing his Shoei helmet do not pick them up and bring them to the store. This guy had a hard time seeing, stumbling around the parking lot and had memory loss. Why on earth would you move someone like that??????? In fact if their is any remote possibility of a major injury please do not move them at all. Bringing them here will only do them harm. First you take them farther away from medical help and you risk doing more damage. In the past folks have brought them to the store to prevent the police from showing up, not sure this is a good reason to risk your life. Our policy here is if you look hurt we will call the ambulance regaurdless of what you want. I think your safety is more important than your desire to avoid a ticket. I am not talking about cuts,scrapes or even an occasional dislocated shoulder. But if you can not breath, have lost your memory, bleeding from your ears or have bones sticking out the call will be made. Please again, if you wish to help them the best thing to do is leave them at the accident site, remember what mile marker they were at, get to the store so we can call 911. TN response has been much better with a new satilite station on the Pumpkin Center Camp Ground. Doing this will be the best help you can do for them.
