00:00At the Tinalak Festival in South Cotabato, there is a competition that they are looking forward to.
00:12The motocross or motor racing.
00:15At the hands of a motocross vlogger, Resty Atilar, in his Tinkulak PH Vlogs, the viewers will talk about the actions that will take place.
00:35And the contestants will have a game on.
00:46But the others are not far away.
00:51Suddenly, there is an earthquake.
00:56According to the Physical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Specialist, Dr. Hubert Ko, extreme sports like this are really dangerous.
01:08Motocross activities is actually one sport that is considered as extreme sports.
01:14There is a study that was done in the US, this was done in 2014 by the American Association of Orthopedic Surgery.
01:21They found that 95% of people who join motocross activities have injuries.
01:2995% is actually a very very huge percentage.
01:33But the contestants are not afraid to jump in the air.
01:36In other rounds, some of the contestants fell down.
01:41According to the expert, it is important to wear safety gears like a helmet to avoid dangerous situations.
01:53It's what we call traumatic brain injury.
01:56When we hit our head or secondary to a head concussion.
02:01In the latest round,
02:03this contestant fell down,
02:06jumped,
02:08and later did not move.
02:11If the participant is unconscious,
02:14and you saw that he did not breathe and there was no pulse,
02:18then you have to administer CPR.
02:20It is important that we have someone with us who can administer CPR.
02:25If the patient or the client is actually awake,
02:29let's see if the patient or the participant is dizzy,
02:33has a headache,
02:35has a neck pain,
02:37has a convulsion,
02:39is vomiting,
02:41or they can't move their hands and feet,
02:45then that is a red flag.
02:47Always remember,
02:49whether it's a mild or moderate concussion,
02:51always remember,
02:53whether it's a mild or moderate brain injury or head injury,
02:57the patient should be taken to the hospital.
03:06The easiest way is actually to immobilize or keep the participant still after an injury.
03:13Don't just move after being injured or falling on the bike,
03:18not unless it's life-threatening.
03:21If there is a chance that we will be hit by another motorcycle,
03:24then that's the time that we have to move.
03:26But if there is no such danger,
03:29then keep still first.
03:40You have to undergo proper supervised training.
03:44It means that we have to be physically fit,
03:46we have to be aware of the rules and regulations,
03:50and the safety measures that we have to follow.
03:56The motocross game is exciting to watch,
04:00but it is also dangerous.
04:09So if you are going to join,
04:11you have to join the training
04:12and ask for advice from experts.
04:15For always safe, thank you!
