In Case of Accident, Fill Out an Incident Report

Saturday, February 23, 2013 - 8:30 am Tour

We had a  wonderful tour this morning with a group of Red Hat Society ladies. Unfortunately, right after Station  2 of our tour, while we were loading up, one of the gals lost her footing getting on the back of the electric cart.

Lila fell flat on her butt and proceeded to fall backward lying face up on the ground.  Luckily her beautiful red hat cushioned her head in the fall and she missed the big boulder by just an inch or so.  Lu, Melody and I sprang into action, checking her vitals and extremities - no blood, swelling or complaints. She was embarrased, but seemed fine and got on the cart, this time without incident.

We watched Lila throughout the tour and made sure she had a helping hand at every step...I think we drove her crazy with our attention.  By the end of the tour, Lila was complaining of a "sore seat," but was otherwise okay.

We filled out an Incident Report, provided by Gary and had Lila fill in her own information.  We (Lu, Melody and I) signed the form and turned it in.

Important to note:  no matter what the outcome, an incident like this is important to report and record. 

So glad nothing major happened, although I think Lila may be sore in the morning!
