Member ignored my plight!

It does seem strange indeed. 

I doubt they realised how hurt you were to be honest, and if you were both inside the car, blocking the entrance for everyone else, then would have wondered what was going on. 

I had occasion to ask someone in a car only yesterday if they were ok, ill or broken down? Parked in front of zebra crossing, causing havoc, blocking out incoming ambulances. Neither ill nor broken down, just being rather stupid over choice of where to park.

I hope your arm is on the mend by the way👍

Sorry to read this.

I think the least they could have done was let the site staff know.  I think they should have come out to see if you needed assistance.

No, takethedogalong, I was flat out and unconscious ON THE TARMAC,

We were not in the car.

Amazing isn’t it...

Hardly the Good Samaritan! However as suggested they may not have witnessed the whole episode and had not realised how serious it was? Hope you are OK now.

I read it that Cath was still down on the tarmac.

We were on site at Cae Mawr, Anglesey a few years ago when an elderly chap in his 80s went down having lost hid balance on a grassed area. In under a minute there were half a dozen people coming to his aid, One went off with an order for three mugs of tea, one went to get a chair. I sat down with the chap and told him to relax and we would soon have him in a chair with a brew. Two of us raised him onto the chair being held for him. Several of us stayed to natter with him and we all had a good chuckle. When he had fully recovered I went and fetched my car onto the grass area as the X-Trail was best suited for access and drove him to his van to see him safely installed inside. He did say that his daughter played hell at him if he went out without a stick!

That and other experiences out and about have shown folk to generally do what they can to assist

Sadly, this happens in life R2CD, so I suppose it follows that it can happen in the realms of club membership as well.

It seems ignorant and inexcusable but, fortunately such people are in the minority.

Hope you’re on the mend.

Sometimes it's better not to have onlookers round you so although your friend told you the people concerned ignored you maybe they didn't see exactly what your friend saw. I passed out in the aisle of a busy train to London earlier in the year. It was enough to wake up to see OH and the train guard and a kind person who offered me their  water bottle. Others looked on quietly and I was glad they didn't crowd me out. It's bad enough looking up from the floor wondering what's happened. Very sorry you had an accident, don't worry about what others didn't do as you had a good friend with you. Hope you are OK now.

Thanks all, hopefully helping to restore my faith in human nature.  It would have been clear to the new arrivals that help was needed, they manoeuvred their van around my ‘lifeless’ body!

plaster off 4 November, booked at Chester for 8th November, hopefully for a incident free stay!

The wardens indeed helped with advice on which A&E and they completed the necessary incident report.

As well as the points mentioned above, it might be wise to consider how seeing an accident/injury affects other people.  It used to be quite well known that some people would faint themselves at the sight of blood.

We should be aware of the distress that can be caused to persons suffering from PTSD. Depending on their experience, simply seeing an injured person lying on the ground can be enough to bring on an attack - in which case the best course of action is for the PTSD sufferer to be removed from the scene as promptly as possible.
