ACCIDENT SCENE MANAGEMENT COURSE - Feb. 23-24

[ajayhawkfan]

The KC BMW Motorcycle Club is helping sponsor these accident scene courses.

A number of friends took the course and most are wanting to do it again. They said it was very educational. For instance, in a motorcycle accident you should never remove a riders helmet (something that happen on a Back Road Tours Stampede a few years ago) EXCEPT when the rider is not breathing. This class show how to remove the helmet and then give CPR.

I'm going to try to make it.

Contact the people at the end if interested and let me know if you sign up.

ACCIDENT SCENE MANAGEMENT COURSE - Feb. 23-24, Vocational Services, Inc., Liberty, MO. 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. each day. $65 per class.

This training sounds essential. As of right now, my plan is to attend both classes.

Sat, Feb 23 conflicts with another event I wanted to attend.

Now Sat Feb 23 conflicts with an important event I plan to attend that evening. I'd have to leave the training to head home about 3:30. Not sure I want to pay the fee and drive up there if I can't complete the class.
