See Something - Do Something

Someone shared that they like Blake Mitchell.

 

Here he relates that he witnessed a traffic accident. He stopped and with others helped pull people out of a vehicle which was on its side.

 

On face value it seems the right thing to do. But I remember watching some movie many years ago and there was a young woman who was in a car accident and her boyfriend pulled her from the car and it caused her to become paralyzed from the waist down.

Exactly. My friend’s dad is a retired firefighter and one time when he was off duty he had stopped at really bad accident. A woman was pinned under a car and people wanted to move the car to get her out...makes sense....but my friend’s dad said they could not because she would have lost her legs and/or died.

 

That’s the first thing instructors tell you when a laymen learns cpr and first aid you shouldn’t even approach a injured/distressed person unless it’s absolutely safe to do so. And especially never move them because you have no idea what part of their body they injured and you could do further damage
