Incident 2026-72: Mountain biker, Grenoside

On Sunday afternoon we received a request for assistance from Yorkshire Ambulance Service to one of our regular hotspots in Grenoside Wood to assist a biker who had taken a tumble. When we arrived on scene we assisted the YAS paramedics by loading the casualty into our vacuum mattress, casualty bag (think super warm fluffy sleeping bag) and onto our rescue stretcher before following our well trodden path to the roadhead and the waiting ambulance.

We wish the casualty a speedy recovery
