@Onelifeoverland Here is an example though - who in our country is likely to suffer one of the most serious traumatic injuries?
A good question... heres some quick statistics.....
Average uk driving commute: 54.8 minutes. So to keep it easy, thats about 2hrs in your car every day....
16.7 million people drive to work every day.
157,630 were seriously injured in RTCs in the UK in 2019.
The most likely sufferer of a traumatic injury in the uk is a driver. Soldiers don't just carry a field dressing in their bleeder kit. Maybe in 1944 but not now.
I'm not ranting and I sincerely hope that I'm not being read as such, but I do believe in being prepared. Better to have and not need than to need and not have......
I've been first and third on scene at two serious RTCs. When first on scene I was woefully unprepared to assist medically. I became part of the problem. Second Rtc I was third on scene. Air ambulance was on the way and a PCSO and a policeman was already on scene. They had med kit but it was spilled all over their car and they seemed more worried about scene preservation than helping the casualties (3 car impact on an off set junction, rural). I was way more prepared and delivered med on four casualties.
Dont think it'll never be you..... don't be like me and get caught out. Get training, get prepared.
