The day my heart jumped out of my skin

On friday (22nd), my last day at work, i was sent to the bank by work to put in yesterdays takings. As i was coming out of the bank, there was an almighty BANG, and for a split second i thought a bomb had gone off.

After the immediate split second shock, i saw that a guy had been knocked off his motorbike by a car! He'd gone flying off and skidded across the road, with parts of his bike smashing and flying off.

For a second i had no idea wat to do. What do u do in those situations??? He still had his helmet on. Do i take it off, keep it on? Luckily he took if off himself, and then some other people came and helped him out of the road and moved his bike. I didnt know whether i should leave him where he was, just in case he'd hurt himself and moving him would make it worse.... I dont know whether what those other people did was right or wrong, but i do know that no1 but me had their phone out calling an ambulance. You'd think that that would be the first thing someone would do, but they were just standing around saying 'you alrite mate?'

So i called the ambulance, which they asked me loads of questions about where i was, wat happened, how old the guy was etc. As soon as i put down the phone, my phone started ringing again, and it was the paramedics who asked me to tell the guy not to move, eat or drink. I put the phone down and the ambulance was arriving (they were quick! but the hospital is just round the corner, so you'd expect them to be lol). They took the guy off in the ambulance after saying they think it was just bruising down his leg and hip, and he said i was his 'guardian angel' for getting straight on my phone :o) lol that was nice.

Hope he's ok though......
