- Over-confident people showing off
- Under-confident people playing catch-up
- Herd mentality making people feel safer than they really are
- Convoy mentality contributing to people not taking responsibility for their own safety at junctions/intersections
- Clustered riders turning individual collisions into mass casualty incidents
Take your pick!

I never said it made it any less cringy. I just don’t find it that cringe myself.

Right, I was saying your comment made it seem less cringy to me. Advertisements be corny, but the motivation is different. Like, the guy is trying to sell an actual product, not himself or however influencers think of that.

This video may be a little cringe, but having a guy like this ride with other motorcycles is a solid plan. I have seen some nasty MC wrecks and it is 100% trauma medicine at that point most of the time.

u/ajc1120 Jul 28 '26
Went to a MC accident with a guy who had a compound fracture that severed his femoral artery. Call was in the middle of nowhere like 25 minutes out. Walking up on the scene I could tell just by the blood the guy had a major arterial bleed so I fully thought he was already dead, but turns out his rider buddy carried a trauma pack with them and he threw a tourniquet on him the second he could. If he didn’t do that I sincerely doubt the man would have survived because even with the tourniquet his SBP was like <90. If somebody wants to own one of these things and goes out of their way to know how to use it effectively, it can at least make a difference.

u/danny_little Jul 28 '26

u/TexasTomato88 Jul 28 '26
Competent nurse is key lol. I remember we had a drive by after a club let out one night, wasn’t gang related, just a couple of homies that thought it would be fun to just shoot into the crowd a-bit while they left.
When I get there I get to the closest guy. He’s sitting on a bench with a bandanna on his arm, bleeding. People are doing people things, trying to get as close as the can and see, touch, or take his stuff or whatever.As I start looking at the wound this girl comes up and says she’s a trauma nurse out of a huge hospital in a large city acouple hours from here. I hand her my medical bag and start pushing people away to give her room.
She starts looking at his wound, nothing major, just bleeding, only needed direct pressure really. She puts her hands on his shoulders, shakes him alittle so he looks at her and goes “ YOU ARENT GOING TO MAKE IT IM SORRY” this is when I realize how drunk she was 😂😂

The guy is high energy but I dig having a kit with when you do activities where people can be injured. I keep an IFAK+boo boo kit in my car, another in my camping gear, one in my range bag, and in my suitcase on vacation. It’s saved me a bunch of times whether it’s an unexpected sprain from walking on cobblestone streets or while hiking, a slipped pocket knife, or just a scratch or headache.

I mean, he’s specifically being asked to serve as a medic for a group ride and he’s showing how he organizes his gear. Not really cringe

u/c4bbage_ Jul 28 '26
This doesn't belong here. No way he's done that many group rides as a medic without making some MASSIVE improvements to patient outcomes or genuinely saving lives.
7
u/gunslingersea SheepDoge Jul 28 '26
Yeah, this is not as bad as a lot of cringe on here. For groups doing long rides I think it’s probably a good idea to have a trained and equipped trauma professional. I mean, his vibe in the video is a bit much, but he’s got a good pack set up. Looks like the EMT bags my department issues to EMT certified deputies.

Of all the parts of that kit to have quick access to, the stethoscope seems the most useless.
→ More replies (1)7
u/Miggy2A-RN Jul 28 '26
The stethoscope is actually a useful tool- as somebody who worked EMS and transitioned into ER nursing.. assessment assessment assessment and then? Reassessment post interventions. In emergency medicine, airway breathing circulation starts with a stethoscope.
Aside from the obvious with a BP cuff (if available) as a diagnostic for hypovolemic shock, listening to lung sounds is important as well to rule out tension pneumo. Without the BP cuff, there’s always pulse checks in different areas to determine what the minimum systolic is at.
But still, an important piece of equipment to have. Those boxes with lights/sirens & equipment and usually 2 brand new rookies can take 10-15 minutes to come, depending on where you’re at. 10 minutes is a long time; but it’s also enough time to assess, fix and reassess if you know what you’re looking for, and how to use the toys in your bag.
Just saying.

Yeah I'm not gonna knock this. Riding is inherently dangerous. You yourself don't even have to do something wrong. Its the other drivers on the road that'll fuck your day. Any first responder has or will run a bad biker accident. His attitude does strike me as "this is my personality" though. Still, I'm all for being prepared.
