Bellers101 347 Posted May 1, 2022 Another example of why there should be two ambulances at every meeting. A policy employed by Redcar this season. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At evening meetings yes, not so critical in day meetings where there is more time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know the best way to get round the issue I'm sitting here now bored to tears then got a 2 hour drive back to west Cumbria, by the time the meeting starts then 80 minutes to finish cud have been halfway home if no delays 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have known riders being ferried in cars but any sort of head or breathing injury or bad break the paramedics won't allow it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You hear of patients waiting for hours at some hospitals with ambulances queued up outside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many riders have made their own way to hospitals during a meeting but with relatively minor or non life threatening injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
