Any Dopers here in Bloomington, Indiana?

If you are in Bloomington, Indiana, this will be happening on the 26th (WEDNESDAY.)

n Wednesday, March 26, IU-EMS and various other services/organizations

will display a mock drunk driving accident in Dunn Meadow from 12pm-3pm.

The "emergency response" will be activated at 1pm in which the local

ambulance service, fire department, and campus police will respond to

Dunn Meadows for a 2 vehicle collision involving multiple patients and

pedestrians. At 1:30pm, a medical helicopter will land in Dunn Meadow

for transport of the critically injured patient. After the helicopter

circles around campus with the patient, the helicopter will be on

display for the afternoon.



In addition to the mock accident, we will have a drunk driving simulator

(it will be a real vehicle with computers and sensors attached to the

body) in which the driver wears virtual goggles that mimic their vision

at a certain blood alcohol content; drunk goggles are going to be

available for spectators as well as a field sobriety test; the U.S. Army

is anticipating on bringing a Hummer which has plasma TVs and XBOX

gaming systems; finally, there will be many free give aways to those who

attend.



Sincerely,

Laura Brauth, EMT-B

Vice President
