Immediate and effective first aid is invaluable in an accident or medical incident that occurs during any sporting activity. Determining the exact cause of the injury is the first step in making quick first aid decisions.
Sports are a big part of many people’s lives – and unfortunately, accidents and injuries are a common part of many sporting activities. No matter how many preventative strategies we put in place, one wrong step or movement on the field can result in sudden and painful injury.
The risk of getting hurt or becoming unwell is an everyday reality for athletes. There’s the risk of the extreme physical activity, the prolonged physiological stress, and the possibility of falls and other sports-related injuries.
Briony only knows too well that accidents and injuries are a common part of the motorcycling sport as she has witnessed in her very successful dirt bike career. She is the current 10 x Australian Dirt Track Champion. “I have been racing for 14 years and have witnessed a lot of situations where people require first aid. I have since started my own business to help spread awareness and instruct potential life-saving skills. I enjoy helping the community and developing a greater sense of safety”.
With the said risks, it is vital to have someone with a sound understanding of basic first aid wherever people exercise, train or compete.
It is crucial that first aid should be administered only by individuals who have the skills, knowledge, and competence to ensure that procedures are done correctly.
