[WMRT] Callout to injured mountain biker, Grenoside Woods.


The team was called out today at 15:58hrs to assist Yorkshire Ambulance Service with an injured mountain biker in Grenoside Woods. The casualty sustained a fracture and dislocation of his shoulder and was briefly unconscious after a high speed head on with a tree in the bomb hole section of the track. Given the mechanism of injury, the casualty was handled with c-spine immobilization and after some very strong pain relief administered by paramedics and our team doctor, the casualty was packaged and carried by stretcher to the waiting ambulance.
