App alerts you when someone in your neighborhood needs CPR. People make a difference not the government when people need help
Posted: February 26, 2014 Filed under: First Aid, Medical | Tags: Arvada Fire Protection District, Cardiac Arrest, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR, first aid, Mobile app, PulsePoint 1 CommentYou too can be a hero and save a life. The app PulsePoint will notify you when someone near year need’s CPR.
I’ve written about the need and benefits for people to respond to medical and first aid emergencies. See You don’t need an engine to get to the hospital, and you may live if you don’t rely on one. Getting help may be better than getting there. Now there is an App to do that. PulsePoint is an app that does that; it notifies you if someone needs CPR that is close to you.
After downloading the app to your phone you pick the fire district where you live. The biggest issue is the few numbers of fire districts that have signed on; only one in Colorado. Once you have signed on, you will be notified if you are within a close area where someone needs CPR in any of the districts that have signed up.
Even if you don’t live anywhere near a fire district that is signed up, if you travel, you should still download the app. I’ll be in three of the fire districts that are available in the next couple of months.
Read the article In one Colorado community, a smartphone app might save a life. Then contact your fire-protection district and community leaders and encourage them to become part of the program.
There are thousands of you out there who have the training, have the experience and have the desire to help. Get the app, PulsePoint, and get involved. You too can save a life.

Audience: Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education
Location: Keystone, Colorado
Date: 2010
Presentation: Wilderness First Aid http://rec-law.us/17L6pQB
This presentation looked at myths and realities of first aid and the special issues of wilderness first aid. It also examined the various state Good Samaritan statutes and why some first aid “designations” might now qualify under the act.
For additional articles on the subject see:
10 First Aid Myths http://rec-law.us/ySaAwO
Another Way to Teach CPR http://rec-law.us/xEEaRo
CPR is not fool proof http://rec-law.us/w4PrpE
Everyone should write first aid protocols…. Or you could just buy a first aid book!http://rec-law.us/wguXEW
First Aid has its Limits. By law! http://rec-law.us/xS1IEk
Letter to the Editor: Wilderness and Environmental Medicine http://rec-law.us/AjxzNj
Not a final decision, but I believe an indication of where the law of AED’s is heading however the basis for the decision is nuts! http://rec-law.us/yKC5te
Seriously, you have to send a memo about this, the issue is not what they are doing, it is who you are allowing to instruct. http://rec-law.us/Ap1bRu
Stopping a rescue when someone is willing to perform may create liabilityhttp://rec-law.us/xuMtOt
Remember the law changes constantly, this presentation may be out of date. Check back at www.recreation-law.com and with your attorney to make sure the information is still valid.

Bicycle guide job in the Grand Canyon
Posted: April 21, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Arizona, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, Hopi people, South Rim Leave a commentBright Angel Bicycles LLC, (a guide owned business) is looking for help in our guiding dept. We have developed the first bicycle rental and tour services located at the South Rim and operate several tours per day. The tours operate seasonally March –November weather permitting. The tours run in two directions, the most popular is the Hermit Rd tour followed by the new edition to the park trail system Yaki Point tour!
The Hermit Rd tour starts with a shuttle ride from the Mather Point Visitors Center (M.P.V.C) to Hopi Pt., from there it is 5.5 miles and 90% downhill to Hermits Rest. Total time is 3 hours including shuttle ride. Tours depart at 10am and 3pm.
The Yaki Tour starts at the MPVC and rides along the newly constructed greenway trail to (you guessed it) Yaki Pt.! The ride has a 150 ft. elevation gain on the way to Yaki and boasts total mileage of 5 miles round trip. Total time is 2.5 hours including shuttle ride. Tours depart at 10am and 3pm.Piece of cake for a Grand Canyon River Guide, right? You can even bring your old juice container that has been converted into a water bottle if you like!!
If you are looking for work in the shoulder seasons we operate a café year round!! Check our website for current job postings.

This is not the first time I’ve seen this: Our fear of litigation or making people mad allows someone to die.
Posted: July 27, 2010 Filed under: Swimming | Tags: Adventure travel, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Outdoor recreation Leave a commentLawsuit filed over death of 4 year old drowning victim
The family of a four year old boy who drowned at Wilderness Hotel and Golf Resort in Lake Delton Wisconsin has filed suit against the resort. The boy was swimming in the pool allegedly noticed by the lifeguards but not rescued. Allegedly the boy was not rescued because the supervisor said not to. The quote in the article “guests get angry when lifeguards enter the pool for non-emergency situations” was the reason the boy was not rescued.
Many years ago, and I can’t find a citation to it, a lawsuit was filed over the death of an employee when the supervisor prevented co-workers from performing CPR.
Are we so afraid of litigation that we can’t react to save someone or are we so “dialed” into customer service that allowing someone to die is better than making our customers mad.
Probably a stupid supervisor did not understand the situation and a young lifeguard is feeling guilt.
Two issues jump out here. The first is watch who says what when an accident occurs. The media is effective at finding the scared, the talkative or the person with the worst thing to say. As Jeff Foxworthy always says, after a tornado the media always finds the lady in the mow maw with curlers in her hair who starts off with “oh mygod it was awwwwwfffffulllll!”
Eliminate those people two ways. Train your staff on what do in an emergency and what to do after one. Second appoint one person to be the voice of the organization and make sure everyone knows that one person is the voice.
Second. Don’t’ hire stupid people.
