-We're going to place a collar -around your neck. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-Then we'll lay you flat -on a spinal board. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
-It's just a precaution. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-You had quite a fall. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |

-When we arrived, -our main concern was his spine. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |

-..and laid him on a spinal board. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
-Then we were concerned -about both his legs. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |

-As I approached him... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
-..I noticed that the lower part -of his leg was missing. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:46 | |

-The crews stabilized him -as quickly as possible... | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-..but he was in a serious condition. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
-It's the first time I've seen death -in somebody's eyes. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
-He thought he was going to die. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-The fear in his face -will stay with me. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
-Blood was pouring from the gash -in his right leg. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
-He was in danger -of bleeding to death. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
-The ambulance was busy trying -to stem the blood flow. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:54 | |
-At the time, our responsibility... | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-..was making sure -the environment was safe for us... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:02 | |
-..for the paramedics, the police -and the man lying on the ground. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
-He had to be transferred -to the hospital quickly. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
-The air ambulance was dispatched. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
-Grant Elgar, Phil Thomas -and Gareth Williams were on duty. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:20 | |
-There was a report of somebody -with a traumatic amputation. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-It was obviously -a life-threatening call. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-We started the helicopter -and made our way towards Bridgend. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
-Daylight was quickly fading -and the weather was poor... | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
-..but the Helimed 57 crew knew -a man's life hung in the balance. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-They had to reach him. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
-Thank goodness that Wales -Air Ambulance managed to lift... | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
-..in very bad weather. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-I was very surprised they got to me. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
-With the assistance -of the air ambulance paramedics... | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-..Andrew was prepped -for the journey. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-Despite losing his lower left leg... | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
-..it wasn't bleeding -as much as his right leg. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-According to trauma specialist -Dr Alwyn Jones... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
-..the body responds -to losing the leg. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-When the artery breaks in half, -it usually goes into a spasm. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-It stops the flow of blood. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
-It's incredible -how much blood the body can lose. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
-Andrew had lost almost half -his blood supply of five litres. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:34 | |
-The human body -has five litres of blood. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-You can lose up to two litres, -about 40% of the blood volume... | 0:19:39 | 0:19:45 | |
-..before you get close to death. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
-Paramedic Gareth Williams contacted -Morriston Hospital trauma team... | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
-..to make sure they could -admit Andrew on their arrival. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
-The obvious thing that was needed -was surgical intervention... | 0:19:59 | 0:20:04 | |
-..which Morriston Hospital -are able to do. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-For the fireman who witnessed -these dramatic events... | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |

-Personally, -that's the worst I've ever seen... | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-..seeing someone -lose part of a limb. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
-It's two years since the explosion. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-Andrew's still trying -to rebuild his life... | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
-..but the moment when he lost -his leg is still fresh in his mind. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
-By the time I looked down, -my leg was off. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
-When I looked up, my leg was -standing there in my work boots. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |

-..which, I believe... | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-..saved my life. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
-Had Helimed 57's crew not decided -to fly through poor weather... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
