-The Bala ambulance -is already at the scene. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-Hello. Are you alright? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-The ambulance crew... | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
-..has begun assessing -the motorcyclist. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
-He's in a critical condition. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-He's in a critical condition. - -Mid femur. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
-Possibly pelvic. He's in pain -when we try to move his leg. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-Ken Irving was returning home to the -Midlands when the accident happened. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:36 | |
-Paramedics suspect he's broken -several bones in his body. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-We have a pelvic splint... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
-..and a traction splint, so we'll -put them on once you've finished. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
-They fear a vein -in his leg is constricted... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-..preventing blood flow to his foot. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-There's a lot of swelling. -Is there a distal pulse? | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-Ian checks for a pulse -in Ken's foot. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-If he doesn't find a pulse, -the leg is in danger. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
-I've found a pulse. -He looks very ashen. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-His leg is very grey. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-The pulse is weak, which means -the blood flow is restricted. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
-He must be -taken to hospital at once. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-How old are you, Ken? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
-How old are you, Ken? - -58. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
-Normally fit and healthy? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
-Normally fit and healthy? - -Yeah. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-Been to the doctor for anything? -Nothing, no? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-I'm just going to pop a needle -in your arm. Is that alright? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
-Ken needs morphine to ease the pain. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-Nothing at the moment. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
-What I'm going to do, Ken, we've -got to stabilize your pelvis... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
-..and get you on the board, -but we'll give you pain relief. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-I'll get the morphine in you now. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-It's possible the casualty -has broken his pelvis and hip. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-These injuries can be serious. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
-These injuries can be serious. - -Sorry about all the questions. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
-We must be very careful... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-..because -these kind of injuries can be fatal. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-The crew must use a thick strap -called a pelvic splint... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
-..to stabilize Ken's pelvis. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
-We must do something -on your left leg. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-It'll hurt for a moment and then -it'll relieve the pain for you. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-But it's important that we do it. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
-It was obvious that he'd broken -his femur in his left leg. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-We carry a traction splint -on the air ambulance... | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-..which keeps the two bones together -when attached to the leg. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:46 | |
-It stops -internal bleeding in the leg. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
-Before it's attached, -the leg must be straightened. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
-Scream if you need to. | 0:04:58 | 0:04:59 | |
-Scream if you need to. - -Argh! | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-Good lad. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
-OK, mate, that's it. -That's all we need. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-It's important that he doesn't -bend his back with such an injury. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
-A plastic spinal board is -the best way of keeping him stable. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
-Everyone ready? -Good. One, two, three. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-That's it. Good man, Ken. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-Hold him there for a sec. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
-It's on a bit of leg. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
-Seven minutes later, Ken -is transferred to Ysbyty Maelor... | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
-..where medics confirm that he's -broken bones in his leg and spine... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:44 | |
-..and dislocated his hip. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
-One, two, three, lift. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
-One of the first to arrive at the -scene was paramedic Ludwik Mrowiec. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
-He's sure this won't be the last -time he'll be called to this spot. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:04 | |
-We've been here several times -before with motorbikes. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-He was thrown over -the rear end of the car. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-We suspect -he's injured his pelvis... | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-..and possibly his femur. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
-Thank you very much for your help. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
-OK, you're well clear, Tony. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-Ken is now recovering, though -he's not yet back on his bike. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
-At any one time here in Wales... | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-..350 of these vehicles... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
-..and more than 1,800 paramedics -and technicians are on standby. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:51 | |
-It's these crews that call -on the air ambulance for assistance. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-I visited the Bala Ambulance Service -to meet one of the crews. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
-It's 8.00am in Bala and the day crew -prepares for a 10-hour shift. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
-Have you checked the morphine? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
-Have you checked the morphine? - -Yes, Ray. Everything's fine. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-Paramedic Ludwik Mrowiec and -ambulance technician Ray Thomas... | 0:07:15 | 0:07:20 | |
-..have worked together -in Bala for seven years. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
-Will you pass me -some of those stabbers? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-Thank you, Lud. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-Between the two of them, -they have 50 years of experience. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-They say every day is different. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
-When there are children involved, -it can be a difficult job to do. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
-But then again, there are highs... | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-..such as when a baby is born -in the back of the ambulance. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-If there are no complications. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
-If there are no complications. - -Yes. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-That's the nice part of the job. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
-Bala's ambulance service serves -a rural area in south Gwynedd. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
-The pair say they get -the most unexpected calls at times. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-I heard about one person -who'd phoned 999... | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-..because his fingers -were turning black. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-He'd been reading a newspaper! | 0:08:20 | 0:08:21 | |
-He'd been reading a newspaper! - -The men say... | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-..they've seen many changes -over the years, especially Ray... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-..who joined in the late 1970s. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-There was no such thing -as helicopters when I started. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-You drove and sounded the siren. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-You drove and sounded the siren. - -Yes, that's right. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
-And rode horses! | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-But seriously, -how have things improved? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-I'm sure the air ambulance -has made a world of difference. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
-Yes, especially in rural areas. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-As we've already seen -this evening... | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-..they work closely -with the air ambulance paramedics. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
-And we have -a traction splint on board. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-Ludwik and Ray were present -when the air ambulance assisted Ken. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
-We depend a great deal on them -and they depend on us too. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
-We help each other out. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
-We help each other out. - -How does the partnership work? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-We usually arrive on scene -around the same time... | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-..but sometimes we get there first. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
-We assess the casualty -and do what needs to be done... | 0:09:27 | 0:09:33 | |
-..to make sure they're ready to fly -straightaway in order to save time. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
-They land, transfer the casualty -and off they go. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-Working together -is the nature of our jobs. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-We do the same work, -except they're in a helicopter... | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-..and we're in an ambulance. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-The work is the same but -the mode of transport is different. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
-There's no rotor -on top of the ambulance! | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
-In Part 2, treacherous snow... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-..creates havoc throughout Wales. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-And a man is badly injured -when he's crushed by a tree trunk. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
-Due to the pressure, -it went off like a gun. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |

-Some areas have ground to a halt -due to the treacherous weather. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
-But with people getting into -difficulty after venturing out... | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-..the demand for emergency services -is higher than usual. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
-Swansea Airbase -on the Gower peninsula. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
-Snow and ice make it difficult to -get the helicopter to the helipad. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-It's three degrees below freezing. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-Water and ethanol is pumped into -the engine to prevent freezing. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-Experienced pilot -Tom Marcus knows... | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-..that caution must be exercised. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-We're taking more precautions, -so any landing sites... | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-..especially -if they're snow-covered... | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-..you must be wary -of what's beneath. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
-The North Wales crew -has had to deal with the snow too. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
-Pilot Bob Kendall and paramedics -Carl Hudson and Ian Thomas... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |

-Helimed 61 -now mobile towards Y Fron. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
-Be about three minutes. Over. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
-We're on our way -to the Dyffryn Nantlle area... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
-..to assist a woman in her eighties -who's suffered a stroke. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-We know nothing further -at the moment. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-We'll probably arrive the same time -as the response vehicle. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
-Although the crew -has been given the location... | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
-..it's difficult to tell which is -the correct address from the air. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:31 | |
-Hello! | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
-As Ian enters the house, -Carl stays with the helicopter... | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
-..until the blades -have stopped rotating. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
-Who's the lady? | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
-Who's the lady? - -Mam. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
-What's your name? | 0:13:03 | 0:13:04 | |
-What's your name? - -Mair. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
-What's happened, Mair? -Do you feel unwell? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
-Mair Jones -has been ill for a few hours. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
-She's been vomiting, is light-headed -and is having trouble walking. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
-In spite of the weather, -paramedic Alwyn Roberts... | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-..arrived at the scene -in his rapid-response vehicle. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-I want you to squeeze my fingers -as hard as you can. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
-I'll give you some oxygen. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-There we go. Slowly does it. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-Listen to me, Mair. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-Can you raise your right leg for me? | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
-She had paralysis in her left leg... | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-..and the left side -of her face was drooping. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
-The fact it wasn't improving -set alarm bells ringing. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
-Can I take your watch off? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
-It's probable -that Mair has suffered a stroke. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-This occurs when blood flow -to the head is restricted... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
-..and a lack of oxygen to the brain. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-..and a lack of oxygen to the brain. - -I'm taking your temperature. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
-36.3. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:10 | |
-Like many other patients, -the 86-year-old woman... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-..doesn't want to leave her home. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
-She doesn't want to go to hospital. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
-Come on, it's a nice day. -We'll have a chat on the way. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
-By myself? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-By myself? - -With me. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-There's no room for the ladies. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-You'll be fine with Ian. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-You're fine with me. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-Can I put a needle in your hand in -case I need to give you something? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
-A small scratch. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
-It started this morning. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-She's taken a turn for the worse -and her speech is impaired. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-We suspect -the dreaded stroke is the culprit. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-I'm going to give you saltwater. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
-A stroke can be very serious. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
-It changes people's lives -and also kills. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-The ambulance crew -has battled the elements too... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-..but it's quicker -to transport Mair by helicopter. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
-The lads will look after you, -don't you worry. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-Don't worry. Is it this side -that's been affected? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
-The crew uses a special chair -to carry Mair from her house. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
-Mair will be in Bangor -in less than five minutes. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-There we go. A-1. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
-After being treated -at Ysbyty Gwynedd... | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
-..she is currently -recovering at home. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-The council have done a -remarkable job clearing the roads... | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
-..but remote areas are the problem. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
-We can't get the ambulance near -these small roads and rural estates. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:13 | |
-It's not a problem -for the helicopter, of course. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-It can land in the middle of these -estates to assist the response cars. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-On that day, as you've seen, there -was a blanket of snow everywhere. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-Ambulance crews struggle -to respond to every emergency call. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-That's when -the helicopter comes into its own. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
-Usually, this helicopter carries -one pilot and two paramedics... | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-..to deliver -urgent medical assistance... | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
-..or to reach remote locations. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-When Wayne Morgan was injured -in the Brecon Beacons... | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
-..he needed urgent assistance. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
-The slopes of Pen Y Fan -in the Brecon Beacons. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-Brothers Wayne and Cerith Morgan... | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
-..were working -in a forest on the mountain. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-It was a very bleak day. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-It was pouring with rain and foggy. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
-That day, -Wayne was operating the chainsaw. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-I took the chainsaw -to one of the trees. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-The boys were winching -across the way from me. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
-The brothers run a woodcutting -business in the Swansea valley. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
-They were clearing -over two acres of woodland that day. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-The size of the trees made it hell. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
-The poles were a metre and beyond. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
-They were clearing trees -that had been blown over. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-The work is dangerous due to -the remaining tension in the trunks. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
-I start cutting away from me... | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
-..depending -on where the pressure is. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-As Wayne began cutting -the trunk of the tree... | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-..it flew at him like a bullet. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
-There was so much pressure, -it went off like a gun. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
-He took a nasty hit and his leg -got trapped under the trunk. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-He was in a great deal of pain and -knew he'd been seriously injured. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:29 | |
-One of the boys came over -to check on me and pull me out. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
-He freed my leg and straightened it. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
-What's happened? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
-What's happened? - -My leg! My leg! | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
-He's a tough bloke... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
-..so I knew if he couldn't move, -it was serious. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
-The men moved the trunk, but -Wayne's leg had to be kept straight. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
-He shouted to the lads, -"Cut me two splints. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
-"Stick them on -and I'll walk out of here." | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
-HE GROANS IN PAIN | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
-It wasn't safe -for them to move Wayne. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-He needed urgent medical attention. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
-I phoned 999, despite -not having much of a signal... | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
-..but there was -just enough that day. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-I told them we were working -in a remote spot... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
-..and that we needed a helicopter. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-They would never -have moved him without a helicopter. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-That day, paramedics Chris Connor -and Gareth Williams were on duty... | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
-..at Swansea Airbase. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
-From the grid reference given... | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
-..we knew the incident -was in an inaccessible place. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
-Crews are regularly called -to remote locations... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-..but this spot proved challenging. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
-He was lying halfway down -a mountainside strewn with trees. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |
-They couldn't land -close to where I was lying... | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-..in case the brash -got caught in the blades. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
-They had to land -three fields away from me. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-We made our way down -the mountainside to where he was... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-..climbed over a barbed-wire fence -and through a ditch and some trees. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
-He had serious injuries -to both legs. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
-Wayne had to be treated immediately. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-They put a splint on me. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
-There was a danger he was bleeding -internally from his pelvic bone... | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
-..so they secured the bone tightly -with a special strap. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-But it was too far to carry him -to the air ambulance. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-The crew needed assistance. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
-If we'd have waited -for mountain rescue... | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
-..or the ambulance service to come, -it would've been hours. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:59 | |
-They knew the only way -they could get him out of here... | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
-..was with the Sea King. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-The paramedics alerted the RAF. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-It was atrocious weather... | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
-..but fortunately, the yellow -helicopter arrived in half an hour. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
-The Sea King turned up -and off I went! | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
-The rope looked very thin... | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
-..but I knew I was in safe hands. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
-Wayne was winched to safety... | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
-..and taken to hospital -in Merthyr Tydfil. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
-It took 10 minutes. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
-It took 10 minutes. - -His knee had been crushed... | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
-..and he'd broken his tibia -and fibula in his left leg. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-It's been nine months -since the accident. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-There's not much damage there. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
-They cut all the way down. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
-They gave me scaffolding -first of all. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-Two holes in the bone here -and two in my shin. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
-I wore scaffolding for a month. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
-That's the only scar I have. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
-It's barely noticeable, really. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-It moves well. -Everything's in working order. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
-The brothers are grateful -to the two helicopter crews... | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
-..that rescued Wayne -in the Brecon Beacons. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
-You're out in the mountains. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
-Without an air ambulance, -you couldn't do the job. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
-I could've lost my leg -if it weren't for the air ambulance. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
-They saved my leg. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
-I was lucky. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
-They're on standby -and they do their job well. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
-Next week on Ambiwlans Awyr... | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
-..it's a race against time -to save a boy's life... | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
-..after a boat's propeller -rips through his leg. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
-My insides were outside -and blood was squirting everywhere. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
-And the story -of the three-year-old girl... | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
-..who regularly relies -on the air ambulance. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
-Knowing they're there -makes you feel safe. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
