I wanted to post it here, maybe I can get some feedback as to what to do next time and was the patrol doing their job..
Yesterday skiing at Hakuba Tsugaike. Morning frost turned upper part into ice. Was me and wife. When making some turns down intermediate run, I notice a guy across slope sliding down head first, body limp. I manage to make my way under him and stop him. He is face down, not moving at all. I never took first aid.. but I think I got roll him over make sure he can breeze. I manage to dig front of my boots in so we both don’t slide. Turn him over, he is completely out, blood all over the face and mouth. Eye open but not moving. I try talk to him, and decided to take his helmet off, make sure strap is not stopping him from breathing(does this make sense?)
After a bit, he is starting to wake up. When I was a teenager I used to do Taekwondo and Judo so I seen people wake up from KOs and chokes. He looked completely out of it. I basically try to stop him from standing up and falling down rest of the slope. Snowboarder shows up, I tell her to find number of the patrol and call them. His friends show up, he and them are probably in their 60s-70s. None speak any English(all Japanese) my Japanese is pretty bad especially with adrenaline flowing, they are being utterly useless. Basically I try to make him understand he been knocked out cold and he needs to sit and wait for Patrol. My wife(who is Japanese, gets to us finally, she is not that comfortable on that slope when it is frozen). She start translating a bit but the guy is not listening, trying to standup etc.
I could restrain him, but I am not sure we would both not just slide down. So I try to just support him and etc. (what to do in this situation?)
After some time and a lot of gesturing screaming etc from me and translating from wife trying to get the guy to stay put. Patrol shows up, one woman. I try to convey to her that the guy been KOed cold for a good 2-3 minutes. After wife manages to get that information to her, and we see that nothing else we can do(his friends are there, they are all being useless and just saying everything is OK). We leave. We alter see patroller ski down herself and him and his friends skiing down themselves. What the actual fuck? Have you had situation like that am I overreacting
