FAQ Question :
What do I do at the scene of a skiing accident ?
Check to see how bad the injuries are and check to see if First Aid is required .
If the injury is not serious, help the person back down the mountain .
However, if the injury is serious , place markers several metres uphill of where the injured person is lying . Cross your skis upright in the snow or your snowboard.
Release the casualty's bindings, leave the boots on unless there is a particular need to remove them. Put them in the recovery position - on their side - only if you are certain they have no skeletal injury. Keep them as warm as possible.
