This is a sad story. But please read and pass on to others...
Many years ago a friend of mine who is now dead was in a motorcycle crash. (Not his fault). His name was Charlie. Just after the crash some well meaning people came to help him,the first thing they did was take off his helmet.
Big mistake
they did not know what they were doing or more importantly how to remove a helmet safely.
they did not know what they were doing or more importantly how to remove a helmet safely.
By taking off his helmet, Charlie was in a wheel chair for the rest of his life as a quadriplegic.
Taking off the helmet the wrong way messed up his spine.
The doctors said if the well meaning people had have left his helmet on for paramedics and just put his arms down by his side he may have walked again or maybe lost the use of his legs and been paraplegic but not a quadriplegic.
Many year later I decided to come up with a decal for peoples helmets (see above) that would warn people to leave a downed riders helmet on for paramedics or people who know how to remove it safely.
You may buy one of these for yourself or friends who rides and the money will go to Unicef.
E mail your(or the person you want it for) name and address and I will send you one.Cost $5 and as I said the money will go to Unicef. Your info will be safe and not given to anyone else
