The article emphasizes important safety measures, highlighting the need for immediate action in numerous emergency scenarios. If you encounter a bat, seeking rabies vaccinations is critical as survival rates without them are almost nonexistent. The piece also stresses the importance of wearing helmets on bikes and scooters to prevent severe injuries. Drivers should avoid putting their feet on the dashboard as it can lead to catastrophic injuries during accidents. Additionally, the urgency of calling 911 as soon as an emergency is suspected is underscored, reassuring readers that emergency services welcome calls made in good faith.
If you wake up, and there's a bat in your room, get your butt to the ER for rabies vaccines. Bat teeth are so tiny that it's extremely hard to tell if they bit you, and fewer than 10 people have EVER survived rabies without the vaccine. In this situation, it is ABSOLUTELY better to be safe than sorry. The series is expensive and not super fun, but it's WAY better than an extremely painful death.
Please wear a helmet. On a bike? Wear your helmet. On a scooter? Wear a helmet! Motorcycle? You guessed it, helmet. Got a passenger? Insist they wear one too. During my time as an EMT, I responded to too many incidents with victims who might have been able to walk away from the scene with only minor injuries if they had worn adequate head protection (and worn it correctly).
Don't put your legs up on the dashboard - unless you want bilateral femur fractures. My uncle was a firefighter who responded to many emergency calls on the road, and he drilled the 'never put your feet on the dashboard' thing into my and all my cousins' heads from a young age.
Call 911 as soon as you think there's an emergency. It's better to have us rolling out and it turn out to be nothing...than have you waffling on whether or not to call. We don't get mad/care/complain when people call 911 in good faith...even if it turns out you were mistaken.
