Motorcyclists are one of the most vulnerable road user groups and account for largest proportion of road crash admission to A&E – but would you know how to help an injured rider if you were first on the scene?
From a recent survey conducted by Devitt Insurance, focused on motorcycle safety in the UK, they found that from their 3,000 respondents over 70% of bikers knew someone who had been injured on their biker. It’s no surprise that 76% had taken first aid training and 80% felt confident to use their skills at the scene of an accident, however it always pays to be prepared.
At Devitt, they’ve been working closely with British Red Cross to give you some useful advice to deal with some of the most common injuries from motorcycle collisions including broken bones, heavy bleeding and unresponsiveness.
