CALLOUT 74 – Call to assist injured mountain biker

CALLOUT 74

Around 14:30 yesterday the team were called out to a 31 y/o male who was riding his mountain bike out on Rooley Moor Road and came off suspected to have a collar bone injury and wasn’t wearing a helmet.

Members responded quickly on blue lights to the location but on route control informed us that the casualty was trying to make their own way off the moor and wanted to stand us down.

We hope the gentleman was ok and his injuries were copiable.

It’s always a part of our role to accept we get stood down whilst on route to an incident but we always stand by our mantra that it’s best to call us out any time of the day, any day of the week, 365 days a year and us be stood down if things change, then it is to need us and not call us out and things become worse.
