Did you know that 1/3 of our students use the information they learned within 3 years of taking the class? Well here is a testimonial from a student who got trained in September 2013 and has already been in two situations where his training came in handy. In the first case, a safety demonstration was being conducted with an ATV when it flipped. ASM student had the situation under control only one minute while other stood by shocked at what just happened. Read on as this new ASM instructor explains what happened late October:
My name is Andrew Mason. I really enjoyed the class taught in September at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX. I have already had the unfortunate opportunity to use my training in a real life accident just yesterday. There were 3 other certified instructors with us on our ride and when the guy went down we had the scene managed within seconds, providing medical attention and securing the scene from any further accidents from traffic. Of course, we were out in the middle of nowhere with no cell reception but luckily, the scene was directly in front of the Fire Chief’s house and he was outside to witness it. He had his radio and was able to call EMS for us. The guy who crashed is doing good today with only minor aches and pains. Just that experience has really deepened my passion for wanting to help others learn how to keep their buddies and love ones safe and alive until further help comes. Thanks to our trainers, Colleen Vetere and Tyke Barham!
