Tamil cinema star Ajith Kumar, who is acclaimed for a recent contribution to the motorsports, has now seized this opportunity to impart important safety guidelines for those who are assisting road accident victims, etc. Kumar (whose team recently won third place in the Dubai 24H race in 991 category) stressed the necessity for proper car ejection/restraint during the event.
The Right Approach to Helping Accident Victims
As mentioned by Ajith Kumar in an interaction with Gulf News, safety should be given top priority while providing aid to accident sufferers, according to him. He warned against precipitating rescue by lifting victims or carrying them in inappropriate transports, such as cars or taxis. Rather, he instructed bystanders to contact an ambulance right away and to stay waiting for experienced paramedics to arrive.
People tend to assume that they are making a difference by acting fast and that often, it can actually make things worse for the victim,” Ajith said. He shared a personal story to underline this point:
“It happened to a very close friend of mine who had a car accident in Pune. The people there believed that they were taking pity, and lifted him up, but he had a fractured vertebra. Hence, he is ultimately in a wheelchair. In general, the lesson to be learned must be that taking the wrong approach to a rescue when rushing in can be a life-changing error.
The Dangers of Improper Assistance
Ajith further noted the usual errors that are committed by good guys. Eg, supplying water to a wounded individual may appear caring, but it may result in complications if the wounded person needs urgent operation. Drinking water before operation might hinder emergency surgery, thus putting the life of the patient at risk.
In India, and in some other places, it is believed that individuals are behaving as good Samaritans by trying to rescue accident victims and carry them away. But, in case victim has a spinal injury improper handling may lead to lifelong disability as, Ajith cautioned.
Raising Awareness for Better Practices
Ajith Kumar’s comments illustrate the critical need for training the populace in correct first-response actions for road crashes. Being prepared to administer first aid to onlookers or prevent the unnecessary repositioning of victims may decide in favor of recovery or incapacitating disability.
The actor expressed the need for more awareness not only in India but worldwide on the dangers of indiscriminate help. “While the intentions are noble, the methods need to be correct, he reiterated.
A Star on and off the Track
Ajith Kumar’s concerns for road safety are now on his heels after his remarkable participation in the Michelin 24H Dubai endurance racing. His team secured third place in the competitive 991 category, and the actor himself was honoured with the prestigious “Spirit of the Race” award in the GT4 category. [This] acknowledgement encompasses not only his racing ability, but also his sportsmanship and work ethic.
The fact that Ajith is not only a cinematic star but also on top of a race track has made him a powerful representative of road safety. His experience of motorsport has provided him with an interesting point of view on the necessity of adhering to good practice, both in and out of the road.
Conclusion
Tient appeal from thereby Ajith Kumar to the public to get more awareness and take proper care of the accident victims, exemplified the care for public welfare of Ajith, perfectly. His call for responsible assistance should serve as a reminder to all to act with caution and compassion in emergency situations.
Lookin to be a kind sainthood act is to behave responsibly and to look after the welfare of others in distress.
