The Golden Hour Starts with You Riders Saving Riders
March 8, 2013- If someone in your motorcycle club goes down, or you arrive on the scene of a motorcycle crash, do you know what to do and what NOT to do? You could help reduce injuries and possible save a life. The Golden Hour –defined as the first hour after the occurrence of a traumatic injury - is considered the most critical for successful emergency treatment. While much of fire and rescue departments in southern Maryland are dependent on dedicated and educated volunteers, who are applauded for their dedication, fast response to a motorcycle crash is important.

On Sunday, April 14, 2013 riders, road captains, emergency response persons, and advocates are encouraged to attend Motorcycle Emergency Incident Management Training/Bystander Care. The training will commence at 8 a.m. with doors and sign in starting at 7:30 a.m. and will be held rain or shine. The class will be hosted by the Southern Maryland Motorcycle Safety Rally Safety Task Force and Red Knights MD 4. The training will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department – Bingo Hall, at 24801 Three Notch Road, Hollywood MD 20636. There will be an 1 ½ hour break to provide students with an opportunity to participate and enjoy the Southern Maryland Motorcycle Safety Rally in the parking lot.

In 2011 there were 70 motorcycle fatalities and 1513 motorcycle crash injuries in Maryland. In 2011, there were 1881 motorcycle related crashes in Maryland. Motorcycle riders aged 21-49 are overrepresented in crashes, compared to rates among all driver types statewide. Nine out of ten motorcycle crashes involve a male rider. Three-quarters of motorcycles passengers involved in crashes are female. According to preliminary 2011 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 4,612 Motorcyclists were killed on our nation's roads.
