We're seeing kids falling off. I mean,
these things are going how fast? 20, 30
miles an hour? You have little little
kids riding on them. Even with helmets
and with reflectors and with the
protectors, it's uh it's it's like
basically impossible to prevent
injuries. That's that's I think the
biggest thing right now going on in the
medical world.
>> And just drinking drinking a lot of
water, maybe even some Gatorade, but not
soda. Soda is very bad for you. It
dehydrates you.
Um a lot of water, a lot of
electrolytes, and constantly staying
dehydrated staying hydrated is going to
prevent the dehydration state. And if
you're not sure, drink some more. If
you're still not sure, even drink some
more.

Hatzalah, so the first thing you should
do is call Hatzalah or call 911. And

simplest thing you could do is put the
person in a cold environment. A cold

them in the house. That could be opening
up the freezer and putting them in front

the hospital is push it push it simple
simple thing.
