RE: Do Not Play On Your Phone And Cycle!

in #blog7 years ago

I remember one guy around his 50's had been riding a bicycle and talking on the phone. He had fallen down and knocked unconscious. An older woman got to him first and was already calling an ambulance, when I arrived I picked the mans phone from the ground and tried to talk in the phone.. in English, because the man who fell down was a foreigner.

I had to tell them that the person on the bike fell down and we have called an ambulance, but he seems to be somewhat OK as I didn't see any blood coming out from the head etc. and told them to go and see in the hospital as soon as he gets there.

He woke up soon, luckily he had only hurt his arm and was quite clear in the head when the ambulance came. Lucky for him we have quite good health care system in Finland and I guess he won't meet any extreme costs for needing an ambulance.

The photo and the title just reminded me of this story. Seriously, please try to avoid using the phone when you are riding a bicycle.

Oh wow he got off good. Thank you for sharing this story @apsu, it confirms what I am trying to convey

Well it is important for people to remember you can actually get hurt if you don't be careful. It's safer than in a car but still..

You can even walk under a car if you focus on your phone while walking outside. A dangerous addiction.
