It’s a day like any other and you are a passenger in a vehicle bound for school. Your friend Max (the driver) gets distracted by a series of notifications on his phone. It all happens too fast, the next thing you know a skateboarder is on the ground and Max is in shock. Participants must contact 911, communicate with the operator, and follow instructions to apply pressure to the wounded skateboarder’s leg. The scenario ends with participants debriefing the first responders as they arrive on the scene and take over management of the situation.
