Selbst schuld, wennst keine Versicherung gegen sowas hast, nix dabei und niemanden, den du anrufen kannst und der dich abholt.



Aber mal im Ernst: bloss, weil du zu der absoluten Minderheit gehörst, die hilfsbereit anderen gegenüber ist, kannst du doch nicht erwarten, dass auch du mal geholfen kriegst...

Ist schon wieder n paar Wochen her, da postete dude dies auf FB:

TO ALL BIKE RACERS: If you see someone laying at the side of the road from a crash: STOP. Help. SHARE THIS WITH YOUR BIKE RACING FRIENDS.

At Gran Fondo Charly Gaul today, a guy crashed on the first descent. It must have been just ahead of me because I was among the first 100. He was badly banged up. I dropped my bike and ran to him. He was bleeding from his neck, mouth, leg and other places. He was conscious, in severe pain and couldn't breath properly. I put my hand on the neck wound to stop the bleeding because it did look like the main artery. I stuck my finger in his throat. In the meantime, I shouted for help. Hundreds rode by. He was lying at a very dangerous spot so it was just a matter of time that someone else crashed there. I was ready to jump into the curb. Sure enough it happened and another rider hit the deck, crashing into him. That guy only suffered some bruises so I put him to work slowing down the other racers while I kept talking to Gregor that he's going to be fine and will be taken care of immediately. It took forever for a doctor to stop. Many must have just ridden by. Finally, a police moto came. It took several more costly minutes for a race doctor to arrive and the ambulance to follow. They immediately ordered a helicopter. I don't know if he survived. I wouldn't bet on it.

I only have basic first aid skills. And, of course, that race was important to me. My three Gran Fondos this summer were crap but I felt good today and was right where I wanted to be on the first climb. I was confident to get a Top50 finish (out 2,000). I think if we are removed from the race situation, we all say we would help. But once the gun goes off, things are apparently different. I think you need to really reinforce this with yourself: "If I see someone in trouble in a race, I help." Next time it could be you fighting to survive.

Der Knabe hats gepackt und das ist gewiss nicht mit nem Platten zu vergleichen, aber ich bin sicher, wer hier vorbeifährt schaut auch da weg.
