Cardiac Arrest at the Boston Marathon

The bike and gator units make a huge difference at large events. A few years back a police officer suffered a cardiac arrest at the marathon and was also resucitated by a bike defibrillator unit.
 
+1. cardiac arrests happen at these marathons all the time. usually because they have such a heavy EMS presence (added to the whole runners generally being healthy) result in these being saves. Definitely should be publicized more, because it shows the benefits of EMS.

Yeah I'm here in Cambridge. I know the place real well.

I work the Walk for Hunger (this will be my 6th year running one of the First Aid stations). Wanna volunteer?
 
This is exactly why I am trying to get a bike unit started in my department.
 
We have bike units inthe city i volunteer at, but so far they have been more of a nuisance than help.

Maybe with this i can convince the department to begin our own bike unit!
