Scenario 2

You are hiking in the woods with some friends on an old logging road when you hear the sound of a motor further down the road. Suddenly a 4 wheeler comes flying around the corner out of control and strikes a man who was walking the other way.

The man is thrown into the bush and you and your friends rush over to see if he is okay. One of your friends has some first aid training begins trying to control some major bleeding from the upper leg.

Your friend says “A tree branch has punctured all the way through the man’s thigh and his leg may be broken. He needs an ambulance! He has deep cuts over a foot long on each side of his leg.”

You offer to run down to the van you came in to press the medical emergency OnStar button and get help.

You run to the van and press the medical emergency button.
