-The toe of which foot? - -The right. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-It's vital to make sure... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-..that Joe is secured to -the stretcher in the helicopter. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-With the crowd far enough away... | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
-..it's safe for the pilot -to take off. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-The feeling has returned -to his feet and legs... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
-..but due to the nature of -the injury, he must be assessed... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-..at the hospital... | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
-..to check that his spine -hasn't been fractured. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |

-Everyone ready? Ready, steady, lift. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-For the paramedics, -injuries like these... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-..happen all too often -in North Wales. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-Rugby games -are played every weekend... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-..and someone always gets injured. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-At the hospital, nurses ask the crew -and Joe to describe the symptoms... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
-..in order to assess the severity. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-Very poor recollection -of the incident. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-Did you lose consciousness? | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-No. I remember everything but it's -difficult to explain what happened. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-Joe needs further tests. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-Neck and back injuries such as these -can lead to paralysis. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-If it gets any worse -or if he's broken his back... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-..he could permanently lose -the feeling in his legs and hands. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
-He's in safe hands. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
-Later in the programme, we return -to check on Joe's progress. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:29 | |

-..to keep -these helicopters in the air. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-With every emergency -costing 1,500... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |

-The historical town of Caernarfon. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |

-The Caernarfon shop is always busy. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-Five years ago, they asked for -volunteers to run the shop. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
-We thought it was a good cause. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-The two of us are retired... | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-..so we put our time to good use. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-We answer the phone and sort through -the items that are brought in. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |

-This is our team. Falmai sits here. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
-She sorts the Donorflex and is -responsible for banking the money. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-Lots of people -don't realize we're a charity. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-They think we receive -NHS or government funding. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
-But we're not. We rely -on charitable donations. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
-We're really grateful to people. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
-Dani has a special reason -for working with the charity. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-Four years ago, -she was at home in Rhosneigr... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-..when she stood -on a lever arch file on the floor. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-Blood began to pour -when the hook penetrated her foot. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-I remember some of it -but I quickly became unconscious... | 0:09:45 | 0:09:51 | |
-..because I was losing -so much blood. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-I remember my mother -phoning ambulance control. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-Because she was losing -so much blood... | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-..and was far from Ysbyty Gwynedd... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
-..the air ambulance was called -to transport her urgently. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-They landed in my street... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-..came into my home -and stopped the bleeding. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-They gave me gas and air -to calm me down. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-Dani lost three pints of blood. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-Without the air ambulance, -she would have been in grave danger. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-Before returning to Cardiff, -she visits the Helimed 61 crew. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |

-I was on crutches for ages. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
-But I'm fine now. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-It's scary being injured... | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
-..and thinking -that no-one will come to your aid. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-When you hear -there's a helicopter on the way... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-..you feel so much better. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |

-What have you been up to -this morning? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-Erm... nothing. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
-You've done nothing -except watch Jeremy Kyle! | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
-On 29 April 2009... | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-..Gwyndaf was working on a farm -in Boncath near Cardigan. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
-Gwyndaf was working on -a barn construction on the farm. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
-He was replacing the roof. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
-Gwyndaf started working for -the builders straight from school. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-He was familiar with the work... | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
-..but whilst working on the roof, -he fell. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-He fell from a height of 15 feet. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
-He fell to the ground -and his head took the full impact. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:02 | |
-He landed on his head -on a concrete floor. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-He broke several bones in his face, -suffered brain trauma... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
-..and spinal injuries. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-They dialled 999 and the paramedics -were called to the scene. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
-They realized -the severity of the injury. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-Swansea's air ambulance -was despatched. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-One of the paramedics on duty -was Aneurin Heath. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-We were unsure at the time -of the patient's condition... | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-..but judging from -the information... | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-..received by ambulance control, -it sounded grave. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
-We were there within 15 minutes. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
-By the time we'd landed... | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
-..there were people running about -and panic had set in. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
-He had severe head trauma. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
-Pressure can build in the head... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-..causing the body to fit... | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-..and hindering the breathing. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
-The head regulates -the heart and the breathing. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-Gwyndaf's life was at stake. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-He needed specialist treatment... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-..within what is known as -the golden hour. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
-We all worked together -to get Gwyndaf to the hospital. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
-The nearest most suitable hospital -was Morriston in Swansea. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
-We could have taken him -to Cardiff... | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-..but the condition -Gwyndaf was in... | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
-..we weren't sure -he would make it to Cardiff. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-My husband phoned to tell me -Gwyndaf had been injured... | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-..and they'd taken him to Morriston. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
-It's serious when you're -admitted straight to Morriston. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
-Within 10 minutes, -we were in Morriston. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
-People were there waiting for us... | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
-..and he was rushed straight in. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
-The hospital phoned to say -we needed to get there urgently. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
-His condition was deteriorating. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-The news wasn't much better -when they arrived... | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
-..and saw Gwyndaf -on a life-support machine. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
-They said -the next 24 hours were crucial. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
-The worst thing was when they said -they were unsure he'd pull through. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
-That was a horrendous shock -for us all. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
-Gwyndaf was in hospital -for nine months. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-They use to refer to him as -their miracle in the hospital... | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
-..because nobody thought -he'd come out of the coma. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
-Three years on, -and he's still recovering. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-We're looking to the future. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-Everything is being done -to improve his quality of life. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
-His recovery -is going to take time... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-..to get him back to health... | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-..but the main thing -is that he's improving. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
-He has physiotherapy -five times a week... | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-..and is about to attend college -one day a week. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
-He's starting to socialize again. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
-Tenpin bowling, cinema... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-Shopping. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
-There you go, you're away now. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
-Very good. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-Before the accident, Gwyndaf -was the chairman of Abernant YFC... | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
-..and had raised money -for the air ambulance service. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
-The year he fell, -Gwyndaf presented them a cheque... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-..as Chairman of the club. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-Three months later, the service -had assisted Gwyndaf himself. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
-You never know when you -might need their assistance. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
-Shall we go -down to the road and back? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
-Gwyndaf's recovery will take time... | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
-..but he's learning -to speak once again. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-In his own words... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-..he was determined to thank the -air ambulance for saving his life. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
-Important. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
-Very important... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
-..in saving my life. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-In February, Joe Mault played hooker -for Ruthin RFC in Pwllheli. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
-When a scrum collapsed, -he sustained spinal injuries. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
-Our cameras were there when the -air ambulance took him to hospital. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
-Despite the concern at the time, -Joe has made a full recovery. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
-I just had muscle damage. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
-They looked after me -and carried out a series of tests. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
-It's a relief -having the collar off... | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
-..because you know it's OK now. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
-His mother doesn't want him to play -rugby again, but Joe's answer... | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
-..is to change position. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-I don't want to -play hooker any more. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
-I'm too small -to play in that position, anyway. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-I like playing flanker. -I'm a flanker now. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |

-..it's there for you. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |

-I looked up, and all of a sudden, -I saw him fall. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
-I heard a big crack -when he fell onto the rock. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
-And the Caernarfon crew resuscitates -a casualty from the brink of death. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:20 | |
