This is why you never go riding alone!!! :( Hopefully he's ok

I was expecting him to run off into the distance like animals do when they're freed.
Carsondh
instead he just rolled down the hill

The hardest part of riding a four wheeler, telling your parents you're gay.

One time I found a helmet. Then I got an free helmet. Pretty convenient
SnoopyDancing
funny that people always have time to set up a camera.
arteestic1
He probably took his helmet off to help better. Go pro might have gotten in the way.
bss36504
Helmets are hot; I'd take mine off too before lifting that quad.
Sabiya
Bikers wear these (most of the time) to ensure that if an accident occurs, there's video proof of events. Other times it's for showing off 1
Sabiya
Later, but in my experience, most like to be prepared and safe. 2

I like to think that he took off his helmet and threw it perfectly on the road to attract attention
UpvoteTotem
Yeah it just coming off on the road and the quad being way over there just doesn't compute
Rogahar
Likely lobbed it towards the road/incline and it managed to stop before rolling off altogether. Unlikely =/= impossible.
angelicyokai
Good thing. He could have been there a long while. Especially if no one was looking for him
smellmyicehole
I'd be riding by like "oh free helmet" and nit even notice
ColoneISanders
This is good to know. It honestly would not have occurred to me to look for someone needing help.
Boniggy
Yeah i was thinking the same thing. I had no idea about the helmet on the road sign.
Khanaar
To think hed be dead if he threw it wrong. Or overshot it
Franky4Twenz
Imagine throwing the helmet over and knocking the other motorcyclist out as he's coming down and he dies, then you just think "well fuck"
snurx
Or if he hit the guy on the motorcycle
SergeantKnas
It's a "code" among offroaders/motorcyclist, if you see a helmet lying you always stop to see if someone's in danger or has had an accident.
pandorafalters
Another good practice is counting riders & bikes. A mismatch means there may be someone out of sight who may have worse injuries.
SergeantKnas
Absolutely!
abidikgubidik
As a motorcyclist, TIL
Cal1te
This video always haunts me, I found a motorcycle helmet on a green lane, it was sitting exactly like this, I picked it up and hung it on1/2
Cal1te
A tree branch then rode off without giving it any thought. This was 2 years ago so I doubt anyone local died, still fucks me up about 2/3
Cal1te
What could've been. I just assumed some other rider had put it down and forgot it, never thought of people using it to flag traffic 3/3
Fluffycorn
damn sonsofbitches just wanna get 'ttention ..
TemporaryUzername
he's lucky it even landed on the trail and didn't just roll off.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Helmet on the road is a universal distress signal. Miracle he made the throw
thissitestealswhatcouldvebeenmyproductivity
Left my helmet on the road once. Was pushing a motorcycle with my grandpa. Within site, but noisy. Someone stole it.
varsipieru
TIL this. I don't even have a bike but perhaps I'll know what this means if I ever should see one.
DiedAndHauntingImgur
Yup, it's one of the first things taught when learning to ride a motorcycle
EDarwin
Good to know.

Oddly enough it's not (at least, I never heard of it) for fourwheelers. (Though most states don't require training/license I believe)

It actually might even be in the provincial rider's handbook that you need to study before getting your license here. I'd have to check

It's been a few years but I definitely don't remember reading that in my manual for Iowa, U.S.
L0rdAv0n
I got pinned under my quad once. woke up with my leg under the foot rest and had to pull it out. my helmet was down the hill. don't know how
DanOrtega
Probably more like video proof in case the man died, to avoid being convicted..
DonDraperSC
I believe this comment is referring to the man placing his helmet down to view the save... the original is about the helmet on the road. +1
DanOrtega
Oh! my bad... now I feel dumb.
VodkaReindeer
You should!
MrPhukett
So you should. Why would the rescuer put his helmet on the grass right next to him to attract attention? Plus, the road was way down below.
leslaron
My dad once saved himself and a friend by throwing his tuk in front of a moving snowmobile in the middle of a blizzard. Last chance deal.
Boniggy
.. i read that as "by throwing his tusk".. instantly started thinking about Tusken Raiders and their tusks... i need sleep.
leslaron
The man who stopped didn't have room, so drive off to get help, left them with spare jackets. Another guy came along a few minutes later.
leslaron
Fur hunter with a tow behind his snowmobile. Packed them in and drive them to town, saving their lives.
leslaron
The first guys snowmobile broke down and he died of exposure a kilometer from town, they found him next morning.
LoodGookin
Did he die because he gave away his extra jackets?
leslaron
And that's the story of how a tuk saved two and killed one.
joel1997
What's a tuk?
SgtMichaelCross
A child.
narcissisticarsonist
I thought it was short for Tuk Tuk, so in my mind the guy threw an Indian taxi to a snowmobile
LordofGoats
Khyrberos
What a handsome hat
LordofGoats
A man wears a hat like that and you know he's not afraid of anything.
LordofGoats
Another spelling of tuque/toque, the Canadian word for what Americans typically call beanies. It's a winter hat.
BreadyStinellis
I just call them knit caps. Beanies are puff-less and flap-less in my mind.
MeepyMcMeepMeep
I have NEVER seen it written tuk.... toque, yes.
leslaron
The lengths a man will go to to save a few letters... is what I'd like to say. I just messed up and didn't realise it. :(
LordofGoats
First time for me, too, but I understood what they meant. That or I am COMPLETELY wrong. But context suggests this interpretation.
xtsnx
he did, in the comments on the original video the guy said he threw it down to get attentionion

What a lucky toss. How easy it would have been to throw short or long and have it hidden by grass.

That's why the person said, "I like to think that he took off his helmet and threw it perfectly on the road to attrqact attention." They (1)

And this is why you ALWAYS go riding in a buddy system and make sure you've got cell service or a good radio with you if you do plan solo.
xxPaulCPxx
I think that guy was hunting. He was in camo, so he may have been function riding, not joyriding. Good thing he wore his helmet!
whyexactly
A cell or radio aren't much help if you're pinned like this or unconscious though.
mroranges
Well it's not perfect but it's better than nothing. And also ppl will know where to look for you if you go missing
DraccoKnightblade
True, I guess I'm just odd that way and go for the 'buddy system' for mud/trail riding. If I can't find one, I don't go.
Sporkeldee
911 operator here. I could ping his location and relay the gps coordinates to fire/ems personnel as long as he's able to make the call.
whyexactly
That's what I mean, chances are you won't be able to make the call. The guy in this clip wouldn't be able to get to it unless it was in a++
whyexactly
++chest pocket, which is unlikely.

kackied
My luck the helmet would have kept rolling down the hill!
inclination646
So that you can throw it in the road to attract attention?
FlexoHyjal
but not shoes
Molotovbliss
I bet his shoes pulled off from him wiggling underneath the quad, the guy helping was old/bad back, only lifted it so high. Plus clean socks
zacletus
And a seatbelt too if you have them. He might have avoided being pinned if had one on
whyexactly
ATVs don't have seatbelts, you need to be able to jump free if it tips.
zacletus
I wasn't pay close attention, I was thinking a side-by-side/ranger.. whatever people call them. Those typically do if I'm not mistaken
whyexactly
Side by sides do since they have a cage.
bentwrenches
My son was in one of those, didn't have seatbelt tight. It rolled and the rollbar landed on his foot. Damn near lost his foot.

I left just a bit of slack in the harness in a Honda Odyssey, I put it on its side and dislocated my shoulder. That was not a fun ride home.

Some people place traps on their private property to deter trespassers. Can't blame them, hear trespassers are a real nuisance in some areas

No, it's legal to shoot home invaders or trespassers if you're in reasonable fear for your life or safety
whatchamahoozit
Yup, here you go. I'll try to find more on it. https://definitions.uslegal.com/b/booby-traps/
outofdoubtoutofdark
It's not legal to set hidden or camouflaged traps. Property isn't valued higher than human life
Tinebra
I would happily set a trap for my shit uncle that constantly make his shitty motogross bike rumble and roar under my widow just to upset me
Tinebra
and fill my fucking house with bike smoke, but then, I don't wanna hurt anyone else. So I'll just put dog shit on his bike saddle.
hatchattack
That's great, by the looks of the downvotes most people didn't read the second part and see what kind of trap you would set

Sometimes noise of bikes riding nearby woods drive people crazy. Literally, they are ready to kill bikers in attempt to stop it.
Efreeti
Douchebaggery goes both ways. I've seen people take their cross bikes into deer hunting grounds.
TwoBitFortuneTeller
There's a level of dickery in riding through hunting grounds, but I don't think it's close to the level of setting up beheading traps.
Efreeti
Nor was it my intention to imply that
AzgarOgly
There was a report of similar incident locally some years ago.
AzgarOgly
There was a popular enduro trail in the forest. And one of locals with a nerve not that strong wrote peritions against it for years. //
AzgarOgly
Then fed up of the noise he went nuts and set some traps. Fortunately no fatalities, the guy was pronounsed insane.

It is if you are turning nuts. Everyone has his point of no return. One quits and sells their home, other shoots himself, or maybe ...
snipedthewrongguy
I mean how unlucky and lucky at the same time can you be? What's the chances he took that helmet off and it rolled perfectly into that path.
vintageRhino
Doesn't it seem like a fabricated video? I don't know. That's a hell of a throw backwards from your ass.

Or he just let it roll down the hill

I'd venture to bet that a helmet won't roll through that field grass.

Are ATVs less safe than dirt bikes? I'd like to see statsitics, but it seems like they cause much bigger problems when you wipe out.
twfeline
But they wouldn't sell them if they weren't safe, would they?
VivaLaSteeze
It is much easier to crash on a dirt bike, but when you do crash an ATV there's a good chance it ends up landing on you. Grew up riding ATVs
bitemark
See this is what I'm thinking, I mean on a bike sure you're off-balance by default, but with only 2 points of contact to the ground on 1/
bitemark
rough terrain it seems like it would be easier to manage overall. I've only ever ridden mountain bikes though, nothing motorized, and no ATV
Leterriptaterchip
MTB is the closest thing to riding moto without the motor. ATV's just throw you around so much.
SOURCECODE01
My dad used to ride the old three wheelers,and he says that they were the most sketchy thing he's ever driven.The new ones are a lot safer.
Lvaneede
Three wheelers are great one you get used to them. They dont feel as stable as quads, so youre always aware to be careful.
SOURCECODE01
Yeah he rolled them a lot,but he was always lucky enough to have them not land on him.He used them for cattle,so it was very unpredictable.
twfeline
Once you get on it, the center of gravity is really high. These things need a roll cage and 4-point harness.
Leterriptaterchip
Also, if you get airborne on an ATV and land crooked, it gets out of control really fast.
Fahrvergnaked
Had a buddy that used to ride a lot, say this a couple times when he landed one side first. it just tosses you right off.
Katateochi
you need to learn how to fall off them, you have to throw yourself clear, cos physics being a bitch means the bike will be coming after you.
bitemark
That almost seems impossible; everytime I've fallen off my bike I didn't see it coming til I was halfway off already.
CaptainLateToTheGame
The biggest problem with quads is that they don't lean like bikes so there's no chance to lay them down in a turn. It's always a high side

The biggest problem with quads are inexperienced riders easily going beyond their capabilities.

Natural toxins in the blood build up in a crush site, causing the kidneys to fail when the blood passes through

It's called compartment syndrome in a crushing scenario like this. Like in Signs with the dad's wife. It can happen in a lot of ways.

The acidity won't be the biggest problem however it can be counted with hydrogen bicarbonate infusion and hyperventilation

The biggest problem will most likely be hyperkalemia which can be counted with glucose and insulin infusion

In the event of cardiac arrest CPR can be administered while the above is managed

Well if he still has feeling in his leg, that should mean that he still has blood flow there, right?

happens after quite some time, so yeah if the person is stuck for 1 hour or more, don't rush and call for medical help asap

How would professionals be able to deal with it where the victim doesnt die if they are experiencing crush syndrome?
StarkRG
I think they use a tourniquet to release slowly, they have medication to counteract the poisons and expertise in reviving stopped hearts
soso456
you put a tourniquet, then... Best case you clean the blood, worst case you cut the limb
DoctorDrowsy
You can counter a lot of the effects if you have two IV lines secured and maybe a set of defib pads on him.
ElWangGrande
Same thing can happen if you fall from a height and get caught by a safety harness, if you hang too long it cuts off circulation.

That's why my treesstand harness comes with a suspension relief strap I can push down with my feet on to reduce circulation loss.

Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
I thought it was compartment syndrome?
AnUninvitedGuest
Both very similar, however compartment syndrome is more associated with skeletal injury and necrosis of the tissure around the crushed site.
AnUninvitedGuest
The pathophysiology associated with both are alike in that hypoperfusion of the tissues take place. Depending on injury it can go either way

spartanliam115
In situations like this its hard not to just rush and help. however it is important to assess the situation, ASK how long ago did it happen,
spartanliam115
LOOK for signs of injuries such as possible bleeds, TEST see if they have feeling in there legs and call emergency services if in doubt.
spartanliam115
if someone is conscious and aware its likely you have a moment to asses the situation.
megalotz
IF i was ever in said situation, How long after the incident is it safe to move the person?
spartanliam115
That is a difficult question, depending on the point of compression and how much blood flow has been restricted the time frame is different
spartanliam115
I would go off if they can feel anything in the extremity if they can then it is likely blood flow is just restricted and not fully blocked
koalascanevolvetoo
Daughter of an emergency responder here... As short as a few minutes can cause enough damage to kill someone with toxins when the weight
koalascanevolvetoo
Has been lifted. Unless it JUST happened, always call emergency services and don't remove them yourself. Keep them hydrated and awake also
spartanliam115
it is also location dependent (the bigger the muscle group the more toxins and the less time).
spartanliam115
if they have feeling in the extremity it usually means its only partial obstruction and there should little to no muscle death
TC98372
Yeah, or it can be holding a bleed shut. Kinda like pulling a knife out. Best left to the professionals.

Surely if the guys pulling knives out are professional, as are the guys sticking them in.

That didn't happen. There was no barb for him to pull out. It destroyed his heart, but wasn't left in there.
nickalijerkoffski
What if the weight is causing him to suffocat tho ?

Life over limb. If they are suffocating, then they are dying anyways - lift the weight and risk it.

The cells get crushed in the limb, releasing potassium. When object is lifted the blood comes back with lethal conc of K and stops the heart
ThatDidgeridooPlayerInSpongebob
What is the proper way to lift it without the possibility of killing the person?
xxJohnxx77
Have EMS do it. If it only affects limbs you can tourniquet them, if it affects hip or above you are pretty fucked.

I think it's safe to move the object though if the person can feel and move the pinned part of the body. If not, don't move it.

Wait for help if you can. If not: tourniquet. Loss of a limb is better than loss of life.

Raising the acidity in the blood to lethal levels
johnsoninabox
I thought Ca helps the heart beat. Why does a Ca rush stop the heart?
blueberrycupcakes
In very high doses it can do that. There's an acceptable level for every electrolyte and anything out of that is problematic
billyoshen
Damn. What would have been the appropriate thing to do?
freakishdarling
I would assume monitor their heart rate, keep them conscious until help arrives. Maybe relieve small amounts of pressure on the limb?
Tentrees
afiak, ask/guess how long pinned, tie the limbs off with a tourniquet, keep note of time NOW, and haul ass to a hospital. then provide times
Tentrees
so docs can gague how much damage was done with trapped blood.

This doesn't look like limb, this looks like life vs. body. His whole lower body was pinched.

Was speaking generally, but you're right. Looks to be on his ABD, may be the only thing keeping him from bleeding out internally.

Well difficult. Body can't filter out the toxins fast enough either way. If it is just a limb cut circulation with a tourniquet (or belt) 1/

If the hip affected, things are looking bad anyway, because you can't stop internal bleedings that could likely occur on removal of the 2/
AsATexan
Is there anything you can do for someone in that kind of situation to not let any of that happen?
Remmon1
That depends on the level of crush and the time spent trapped. If they were trapped in the last 15 minutes or so and the limb wasn't 1/?
Remmon1
crushed too badly, you can relieve pressure immediately and prevent problems. If they've been trapped longer than that, get medical help.

I'm so sorry to hear that. The reason high K. is a problem is that it stops the heart muscle contracting properly, whereas myocarditis (1/?)

No, one cannot become hyperkalemic (excess potassium) simply by digesting it. Your kidneys will filter it out. If you have renal failure 1/2

2/2 along with taking in lots of potassium, than yes this could happen.

K+ is used for lethal injection. Usually 3 drugs are used- a sedative, a paralytic, then K+ to stop the heart. Nothing silent about that.
