Rapid Response Saves Lives at Mountain Bike Championship
When Pacific Northwest Sports Events planned their annual Mountain Bike Championship, they knew the sprawling course would present unique medical coverage challenges. Triton's motorcycle response team proved invaluable during a critical incident where a rider suffered a severe accident in a remote section of the course. Our ALS motorcycle medic reached the injured athlete within 3 minutes, stabilizing them before coordinating with the ground ambulance team for evacuation. The quick response time and professional care delivery ensured the best possible outcome for the injured rider.
