Zamboni Driver Helps Save Players Life

[Comeds]

According to the Duluth News Tribune, Rich Mertz, 33, was skating at the Amsoil Arena last Thursday when "in a total freak accident" a friend's skate sliced through his cheek and cut two arteries. His friends tried to shove ice into the wound, but blood continued to pump out. He was moved to a hallway … and that's when Thomas Lund and Aaron Hinnenkamp, the arena's Zamboni drivers, sprung to action.

Sorry I didnt read the full full story so I didnt notice the other link.

I thought the rule for posting a story was a paragraph followed by the link. I didnt mean to be a messageboard tease.

I use to be a zamboni driver (though not an accurate term as Zamboni is a brand name. I actually was a Olympia driver where I worked) and saw my fair share of freak accidents and even a death (heart attack). All full-time personal at hockey rinks are trained in first aid and AED's. The craziest thing was the night of the heart attack (my 2nd one actually, the first one the guy came back with the use of the AED). After being out for 30minutes, everyone knew he was dead. After he was loaded into the ambulance, I walked up to the guys playing (it was a league) and said "Well obviously this game is over but you still have two more games to play. Are you going to?" They said yes, I hoped on the machine, did my flood and finished my work. It's a weird thing being a rink attendant because you can literally go from watching someone die, to flooding the ice and then snaking a toilet.

Daniel's comment was a little different, that's for sure, but check out the comment posted by Gary S:

everyone who works in this kind of enviorment should have this sort of training, just like the hymlik in a resteraunt

I don't know whether to laugh or cry...Meh. I'm laughing.
