An alarming insight from ex-paramedic Nikki Jurcutz highlights critical errors parents make post-car accident. Many unknowingly remove children from car seats too early, increasing the risk of severe spinal injuries. Jurcutz explains the concept of three collisions during any car crash, emphasizing the internal injuries that can occur. Her advice includes leaving the child in the seat unless the vehicle is unsafe and securing them properly if they must be moved urgently. Educating parents is crucial to ensure they act wisely during chaotic moments after an accident.
The biggest mistake is removing a child from their car seat too soon... children should be kept as still as possible to reduce the risk of worsening a potential spinal injury.
There are actually three collisions in every car accident... The third impact is actually all of your organs moving inside your body - including your brain hitting your skull.
