I had the privilege of working for Ken West (RIP) and alongside the incredible team at Big Day Out.

After eight years with the festival, this was, without a doubt, the best Big Day Out I experienced. Having Daft Punk headline made it an unforgettable event and a fitting highlight of an amazing journey.

 
This technology is now used in Australia and I saw it saved a life recently
And here is a very recent example (which I hadn't previously been aware of - although you were champion @Dr_Ice) .....


Billy President GoodSAM CPR response
⛑️


On Sunday morning, our Bilgola President, Greg Woods, received a GoodSAM alert at 2.30am.

A neighbour 500m away was having a heart attack. Greg acknowledged the alert, ran to the neighbour’s house, joining a student paramedic and Ambulance NSW, providing CPR on the man for 45 minutes before he was transported to Hospital.

More than 9,000 people experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in NSW every year. For every minute a person in cardiac arrest doesn’t receive chest compressions (CPR), their chances of survival fall by 7 to 10%.
The NSW Ambulance GoodSAM app helps improve outcomes by alerting nearby volunteers to provide early chest compressions before paramedics arrive. Surf Lifesavers are identified as potential volunteers, with many signing up including Greg.

For more information check out GoodSAM via NSW Ambulance & join this worthy volunteering cause.
