"Hi, my name is Debbie, and I’ve been teaching beginner mountain biking for over ten years. When you’re out trail riding, often it’s possible for people to get hurt. Some of the safety things you want to have with you, most important is a cell phone. Have a general idea of where you’re at, and be able to get a hold of 911 in case you have to call rescue. If someone falls off their bike, its standard practice to come up to them, make sure they’re ok, make sure they’re moving, ask them not to move if it looks severe, do not remove their helmet, do not remove their camel back, and ask the person that’s down to stay still, stay down and catch their breath. If they’re bleeding, have the person that’s bleeding apply the pressure to stop the bleeding themselves. If you happen to have a first aid kit with you, it’s best to, if the person that’s hurt is able to take care of themselves, hand them the first aid kit. Having a cell phone is the fastest way to get help. The most important thing to remember if someone’s down and possible has a neck injury or a head injury is don’t move them. Don’t remove their helmet, keep them calm, stop other trail riders from running up on them, and wait for trained emergency personnel to come and help. "
