Plane makes emergency touchdown on golf course

Definitely gonna be sore for a bit, but he landed it. Pilot should be ok, too.

And I felt bad for laughing

I giggled and said that dude is a real one. Haha

*”there goes my hero, he’s ordinary”*

Watch him as he goes!!

I’m glad this is getting a lot of upvotes. I’m actually very serious even though the song is nearly a meme now, people like this I consider real true heros. Ordinary people who come up on a bad situation and decide to do extraordinary things are very important to life and society as we know it.

I mean. Not like he crashed a plane or anything lol

The guy running down the hill crashed worse than the plane lol Go back and watch it again – he fucks his shit up

Smacked his head pretty good.

now we need 2 ambulances

Bring an ambulance, but not for me – that pilot

But not for me

Because he lost his hat

I thought it was a toupee

Hat’s okay. If it was his flip flops, he’d be done for.

His shoes stayed on, he’s fine.

I believe that was the joke they were making lol

First rule for any first responder really. Pointless putting yourself in excessive//unreasonable danger because if you get hurt, not only can you not help but there are now two casualties instead of one. It’s why the first letter in DRS-ABC (a mnemonic for primary survey of a patient) is Danger (check for signs). And why the 1-2-3 rule is taught. 1 casualty: Approach, checking for danger. 2 casualties: Approach but with extreme caution and being ready to leave 3 casualties: Don’t approach, there’s something going on.

Sorry help me undersrand this. So if you’re a first responder and you come across an accident where 3 people are injured you’re not supposed to help until backup arrives or something?

Yeah pretty much. If three people are on the ground/unconscious (and there’s not an obvious cause like they’ve all been in the same car crash) then there’s clearly a pattern of something going on (could be electrical, could be a gas leak, etc) which is affecting multiple people in the same area. Until you can identify what it is and appropriate mitigations then you shouldn’t approach because you’ll more than likely end up as the fourth. Which brings me to mass casualty events. The first person on scene should not rush in and try and help people. At most they’ll be able to help one person, or two sub optimally. Instead, they can help more people by calling for rapid back up and additional resources (possibly a multiagency response). In the UK a Major Incident might be declared and the METHANE mnemonic used (Google ‘JESIP’ for more info). They then might proceed to a rapid triage sieve, splitting off walking wounded, severely injured, and not breathing/dead (as unfortunate as it is, anyone who isn’t breathing is going to need multiple people and intensive intervention and they might not regain ROSC. More people can be helped if those responders can help the critically injured and so anyone not breathing will be deprioritised until the seriously injured have been helped).

The classic example is people in confined spaces with bad air. Has happened many, many times. 1 guy goes into a confined space filled with a non breathable gas, passes out. His buddy sees and goes to help him, also passes out. Supervisor wonders what the fuck these two idiots are doing taking a nap in a tank, passes out. Can also be downed power lines or other hazards. If you don’t know what it is that injured 3 people in the same spot, there’s a decent chance that it could injure a 4th.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

It sadly happens in large scale home brewing more often than you’d think. Youngest goes into the tank to clean it and losses consciousness from the gasses. Later an older sibling sees this and goes in to rescue and passes out. Read that story to many times.

The second I saw that dude running. I knew he was eating it. Poor guy was just trying to help and forgot he was middle-aged

Brain: I know what needs to be done. Muscles: We have no fucking clue.

“Here’s my chance to shiiiinnnneeeeee!!!!!”

I get the laughs, but all the power to that dude. Immediately running to help. He’s a real one

The ironic part is the person filming the action gave zero thought to heading toward the pilot

Didn’t she say “Rick, do you want me to come with you?” Or maybe that was another person?
