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
