Biker Lives Matter continues to provide Accident Scene Management Courses with the American Legion in Florida. Crashes and collisions continue to increase involving motorcycles and one of the most effective ways for those involved to survive is to be treated at the scene by others until more trained people like EMTs arrive.
The American Legion is a very large organization and each chapters can include a motorcycle group named Legion Riders. Working with the American Legion organization affords out teachers to reach a lot of people. The more people trained the higher the possibility of saving more lives.
The first-class Biker Lives Matter sponsored was at post 81 in Melbourne and it went very well. You can see the article on that class at https://www.bikernet.com/pages/story_detail.aspx?id=15130
This led to having a class at the American Legion Riders Florida Summit in Orlando, Florida.
This class though open to any American Legion Member Free of Charge, was mainly for some of the officers as they would be the ones moving the process forward through the organization.
At this time the classes are being sponsored by organizations and by Attorneys like the Fran Haasch Law Group who are well known for helping motorcyclist in Florida
Bryan York is their event coordinator and was one of the people taking this particular class. By him doing so, he has first hand knowledge and a certificate of completion. Once someone takes the course, they can better explain to others how it would benefit them.
Having a trauma kit is very important. There are many different ones of various sizes. But there are also items you may have with you just as part of your normal motorcycle attire that will further assist you. All this is taught in the class.
The class was taught by Dee MacLennan who is the Accident Scene Management Lead Instructor in Florida.
If you are in an American Legion Post and or any other organization you can have a class taught at your location.
