-The helicopters of

-the Wales Air Ambulance Service...

0:00:200:00:24

-..respond to

-2,000 emergency calls a year.

0:00:240:00:27

-Each helicopter

-carries a pilot and two paramedics.

0:00:270:00:31

-For the past nine months, our

-cameras have followed the crews...

0:00:310:00:36

-..on their missions

-across Wales saving lives.

0:00:360:00:40

-Tonight, the air ambulance crew...

0:00:420:00:45

-..rescues a woman

-who's fallen from her horse.

0:00:450:00:48

-That's where she's in pain.

0:00:490:00:51

-SHE CRIES IN PAIN

0:00:510:00:53

-The story of the three-year-old who

-regularly relies on the helicopter.

0:00:530:00:59

-Knowing the air ambulance is there

-makes you feel safe.

0:00:590:01:03

-And it's a race

-against time to rescue a boy...

0:01:030:01:06

-..after a propeller

-tears through his leg.

0:01:060:01:09

-Blood was squirting everywhere.

-It was like something out of a film.

0:01:090:01:14

-There are more than

-100 beaches here in Wales...

0:01:190:01:22

-..many of which

-are far from a main road.

0:01:230:01:25

-Ambulances aren't always able

-to reach the casualty.

0:01:260:01:29

-The North Wales air ambulance

-came to Dawn Jones's rescue...

0:01:300:01:34

-..on Morfa Dyffryn beach.

0:01:340:01:36

-Sunday, mid-October...

0:01:370:01:39

-..and the casualty has been lying

-on the beach for half an hour.

0:01:400:01:44

-The crew

-must exercise caution when landing.

0:01:450:01:48

-We have to

-take into consideration the tide...

0:01:490:01:53

-..and the people on the beach.

0:01:530:01:56

-Since it's a pebble beach...

0:01:560:01:59

-..we have to make sure

-the pebbles aren't displaced...

0:01:590:02:03

-..by the whirring.

0:02:030:02:05

-Hiya.

0:02:160:02:18

-She's fallen off the horse.

0:02:180:02:20

-She's fallen off the horse.

-

-Dawn was riding on the beach...

0:02:200:02:22

-..when she was thrown into the air.

0:02:230:02:25

-..when she was thrown into the air.

-

-So the horse was cantering...

0:02:250:02:28

-..stopped,

-and you've gone over the head?

0:02:280:02:31

-The horse was unharmed...

0:02:310:02:33

-..but his owner wasn't so lucky.

0:02:340:02:36

-I won't uncover you too much.

0:02:360:02:38

-Any specific pain?

0:02:390:02:41

-Don't do it any lower. There.

0:02:440:02:47

-Pain there, yes?

0:02:470:02:49

-Sam Williams suspects

-that Dawn has broken her ribs.

0:02:490:02:53

-She must remain stable to avoid her

-ribs damaging a vein or an organ.

0:02:530:02:59

-Can you hear me?

0:03:010:03:03

-I hear you, Sam.

0:03:030:03:05

-Lady,

-possible spinal collar and board.

0:03:060:03:10

-Are you with these people?

0:03:120:03:14

-I'm the husband.

0:03:140:03:16

-Will you go and tell them,

-"Nobody go towards the aircraft."

0:03:160:03:21

-Pilot Bob Kendall must keep

-the engine running on any beach.

0:03:210:03:26

-People must be kept at a distance

-because the blades are dangerous.

0:03:260:03:31

-The pilot

-mustn't switch off the engine...

0:03:310:03:34

-..in case it doesn't start again.

0:03:350:03:37

-If that happened

-and the tide came in...

0:03:370:03:40

-..the 3m helicopter

-would be stuck in the sand.

0:03:400:03:44

-I'm just going to have a look

-how many layers you've got on.

0:03:440:03:48

-Sam must cut Dawn's clothes...

0:03:490:03:52

-..in order to examine her properly.

0:03:520:03:55

-Is this a favourite top,

-this green one?

0:03:550:03:57

-Yes.

0:03:580:03:59

-We'll ask the husband

-to buy you a new one.

0:03:590:04:02

-The Coast Guard arrives.

0:04:030:04:04

-The crew is familiar with working

-alongside other emergency services.

0:04:050:04:10

-Warn them. Because it's running,

-we don't want anyone near it.

0:04:140:04:19

-It's possible

-Dawn has injured her back.

0:04:190:04:23

-Her neck must be kept stable.

0:04:230:04:26

-Do you want something else,

-as well as a pelvic splint?

0:04:280:04:32

-Come and do her head

-with me quickly...

0:04:330:04:35

-..and then I'll do that...

0:04:360:04:38

-..once this is in place.

0:04:380:04:40

-OK? We won't be long.

0:04:440:04:46

-Right side

-under the ribs is very painful.

0:04:460:04:50

-Abdo, severely tender. OK?

0:04:500:04:53

-Pelvis very tender too.

0:04:530:04:56

-If someone's fallen from a height,

-there's a danger...

0:04:560:05:00

-..they've broken their pelvis.

0:05:010:05:03

-It's dangerous, due to the risk of

-internal bleeding, which is unseen.

0:05:030:05:09

-SHE GROANS IN PAIN

0:05:090:05:11

-A special strap must be tied

-around the casualty's pelvis...

0:05:110:05:16

-..to hold the bones together

-and prevent internal bleeding.

0:05:170:05:21

-A little lower on your side.

0:05:210:05:23

-Aargh!

0:05:230:05:25

-Sorry about that.

0:05:250:05:27

-That's about right.

0:05:270:05:29

-Go for it.

0:05:290:05:31

-SHE GROANS

0:05:310:05:33

-Sorry, sweetheart. There we go.

0:05:330:05:36

-The crew's

-having trouble intubating Dawn...

0:05:360:05:39

-..to administer morphine.

0:05:400:05:42

-She's refused

-any other form of pain relief.

0:05:420:05:45

-SHE CRIES IN PAIN

0:05:470:05:49

-Argh, no!

0:05:490:05:50

-Argh, no!

-

-Watch out. That's where the pain is.

0:05:500:05:53

-Stand there

-while I'm holding this hip.

0:05:540:05:58

-They put Dawn on a spinal board

-before carrying her to the chopper.

0:05:580:06:03

-Her husband must make

-his own way to hospital.

0:06:040:06:07

-Don't go nuts. Don't go crazy.

0:06:070:06:09

-Simon, can you take me some clothes?

0:06:090:06:13

-Bring her some clothes because we've

-stripped everything else off her.

0:06:130:06:18

-He'll stop in Next on the way!

0:06:180:06:20

-Yes, I'm sure!

0:06:210:06:23

-Although Dawn is in better spirits,

-she may still have grave injuries.

0:06:250:06:30

-The crew is ready to leave and needs

-assistance from the Coast Guard.

0:06:300:06:35

-We're ready to leave, so could you

-get everyone out of the way?

0:06:350:06:39

-The blades are a danger hazard.

0:06:390:06:42

-If they're all on the pebbles

-over there, we'll be fine.

0:06:430:06:47

-Dawn's husband

-will take care of her horse.

0:06:470:06:50

-Which way are you taking the horse?

0:06:510:06:52

-Which way are you taking the horse?

-

-Along the pebbles.

0:06:520:06:54

-We want to see you run.

0:06:540:06:56

-Aargh!

0:07:030:07:05

-Oh, God!

0:07:060:07:08

-Thank you.

0:07:080:07:10

-The crew must await instruction

-from the pilot before embarking.

0:07:130:07:18

-Accidents can happen

-in exposed locations such as these.

0:07:180:07:22

-Blade sail happens in strong winds,

-when the blades go up and down.

0:07:230:07:27

-Occasionally,

-if people are tall enough...

0:07:270:07:30

-..they can skim people's heads.

0:07:310:07:33

-Helimed 61 is en route to Bangor...

0:07:340:07:37

-..to drop this one.

0:07:370:07:39

-Dawn will be in the hospital

-in less than 15 minutes.

0:07:390:07:44

-We're taking her

-as swiftly as possible to Bangor...

0:07:450:07:48

-..in case there's internal bleeding.

0:07:490:07:52

-We'll catch up on Dawn's progress

-later in the programme.

0:07:540:07:58

-The helicopter's speed

-makes a considerable difference...

0:07:590:08:04

-..to the lives

-of the casualties they transport.

0:08:040:08:07

-One three-year-old girl

-from Aberystwyth...

0:08:070:08:11

-..has needed the service

-more than once.

0:08:110:08:14

-This is Elain's story.

0:08:140:08:16

-Like every three-year-old,

-Elain loves playing.

0:08:180:08:21

-But life hasn't been easy

-for this young family.

0:08:220:08:25

-When her mother was pregnant...

0:08:260:08:29

-..the 20-week scan revealed

-that Elain had heart problems.

0:08:290:08:33

-It was a huge blow for Bridget

-and her husband, Gareth.

0:08:330:08:38

-It came as a big shock, at first.

0:08:380:08:41

-We went into the scan, hoping

-that everything would be fine.

0:08:410:08:45

-But that's not how it was at all.

0:08:460:08:49

-I took a week off work

-and spent my days crying in bed.

0:08:500:08:53

-It was horrendous.

0:08:530:08:56

-I Googled everything -

-every heart condition...

0:08:560:09:00

-..to find out

-a child's life expectancy...

0:09:000:09:03

-..and what treatment was available.

0:09:030:09:06

-The worst thing about it...

0:09:060:09:10

-..was not knowing what it was.

0:09:100:09:12

-It was a serious condition...

0:09:120:09:15

-..that would affect

-the heart's ability to function...

0:09:150:09:19

-..causing digestive

-and breathing problems.

0:09:200:09:23

-Elain was born in March 2010.

0:09:250:09:29

-Although the family

-was prepared for the worst...

0:09:290:09:33

-..Elain's birth was straightforward.

0:09:330:09:36

-It was the happiest day of my life.

0:09:360:09:39

-She was born

-in hospital in Bristol...

0:09:390:09:42

-..in case

-she need surgery right away.

0:09:420:09:45

-Luckily, she didn't,

-so the birth was wonderful.

0:09:450:09:49

-But one night,

-when Elain was 12 weeks old...

0:09:500:09:53

-..her condition

-rapidly deteriorated.

0:09:530:09:56

-She was at home in Aberystwyth

-at the time.

0:09:560:10:00

-She literally turned blue

-in front of my eyes.

0:10:000:10:04

-Her feet were purple.

0:10:040:10:06

-She kept crying and crying.

0:10:060:10:08

-The more she cried,

-the bluer she became.

0:10:080:10:11

-I said to Gareth,

-"I have to phone an ambulance."

0:10:110:10:15

-She needed specialist treatment

-that wasn't available in Bronglais.

0:10:160:10:21

-The following morning,

-the air ambulance...

0:10:210:10:25

-..rushed her

-to Cardiff's Heath hospital.

0:10:250:10:28

-Bridget held Elain in her arms

-all the way to Cardiff.

0:10:300:10:34

-I knew Elain was safe.

0:10:350:10:37

-I wouldn't have liked it if

-they'd whisked her away without us.

0:10:370:10:41

-From Cardiff, she was transferred

-to Bristol's children's hospital...

0:10:420:10:47

-..for heart surgery.

0:10:470:10:49

-Elain spent 10 weeks

-in the intensive care unit...

0:10:490:10:53

-..and spent a total

-of five months in hospital.

0:10:530:10:57

-That was in June, and I

-didn't come home until October.

0:10:590:11:03

-She underwent lots of operations.

0:11:030:11:05

-SHE CHATTERS

0:11:060:11:08

-It was difficult coming back

-to Aberystwyth after that.

0:11:100:11:14

-We talked about moving to Cardiff...

0:11:140:11:17

-..or somewhere closer

-to the major hospitals.

0:11:170:11:21

-Despite their worries,

-they've stayed in Aberystwyth.

0:11:230:11:27

-Elain's condition is complicated.

0:11:270:11:30

-They haven't

-been able to cure her...

0:11:300:11:33

-..so she's going to get ill again.

0:11:330:11:36

-Knowing

-the air ambulance is there...

0:11:360:11:38

-..to rush your child to wherever

-she needs to go immediately...

0:11:390:11:44

-You can't put a price

-on something like that.

0:11:470:11:50

-It's meant we can stay in

-Aberystwyth, where we love living.

0:11:500:11:54

-They launched an appeal

-to raise money...

0:11:540:11:57

-..for the Air Ambulance Service and

-other charities that helped them.

0:11:570:12:03

-Money has poured in

-from people who've supported us.

0:12:040:12:07

-A sponsored bike ride

-raised thousands...

0:12:070:12:11

-..and we're so grateful for that.

0:12:110:12:14

-It shows how much the service

-means to people in rural Wales.

0:12:140:12:18

-Clever girl!

0:12:180:12:20

-The family

-has raised more than 54,000...

0:12:210:12:24

-..with 10,000

-going to the Air Ambulance.

0:12:240:12:27

-The service has bought video

-endoscopes for the helicopters...

0:12:270:12:32

-..making it easier

-for paramedics to treat infants.

0:12:320:12:37

-It's important to know

-where that money's going.

0:12:380:12:42

-We don't want it to pay staff,

-we want them to buy things...

0:12:420:12:46

-..that are associated with Elain.

0:12:460:12:49

-There are many people in Wales

-who know at least one person...

0:12:490:12:53

-..who's benefited from the service.

0:12:530:12:56

-It's priceless, in my eyes.

0:12:560:12:58

-That's why we've raised money

-to ensure the service continues.

0:12:580:13:03

-Elain still has health problems.

0:13:040:13:06

-She has to be tube-fed

-and has speech difficulties.

0:13:070:13:10

-Back and forth, back and forth.

0:13:130:13:17

-You're a big girl, aren't you?

0:13:170:13:20

-A few months ago, Elain had further

-surgery to improve her condition...

0:13:200:13:25

-..but it was unsuccessful.

0:13:250:13:28

-We're unsure of her future.

0:13:280:13:32

-She unlikely to live very long...

0:13:320:13:35

-..but we don't know when

-she'll deteriorate to the point...

0:13:360:13:40

-..where she needs further treatment.

0:13:400:13:44

-Having the air ambulance there

-makes us feel safe.

0:13:450:13:49

-We're also a close-knit community.

0:13:490:13:52

-It's a waiting game now.

0:13:520:13:54

-It might be six months...

0:13:540:13:57

-..or even two or three years -

-we just don't know.

0:13:580:14:01

-We have to keep a close eye on her

-and deal with things day to day.

0:14:010:14:06

-In Part 2, a 12-year-old boy...

0:14:120:14:14

-..has a serious accident at sea.

0:14:140:14:17

-There was blood everywhere and we

-feared the worse for the young lad.

0:14:170:14:22

-And we catch up with Dawn Jones...

0:14:230:14:26

-..who fell from her horse

-on a beach near Barmouth.

-This helicopter, the EC 135...

0:14:410:14:43

-..is able to land on a road

-or even in a back garden...

0:14:440:14:47

-..saving casualties precious time.

0:14:470:14:50

-For Cian Williams of Porthmadog...

0:14:500:14:53

-..a swift response

-helped save his leg.

0:14:530:14:56

-Porthmadog harbour in August.

0:14:590:15:02

-It was a sunny day, and

-Cian Williams and brother Marcus...

0:15:020:15:07

-..were invited

-on a trip in a motorboat.

0:15:070:15:10

-I'd never been

-on a motorboat before.

0:15:130:15:15

-It was

-like something out of James Bond.

0:15:160:15:18

-At midday, they reached

-a lagoon near Borth-Y-Gest.

0:15:220:15:26

-The man asked us

-if we wanted to go for a swim...

0:15:290:15:32

-..so he stopped the boat

-and we all jumped in.

0:15:330:15:38

-We swam around the boat once

-and came back up.

0:15:400:15:43

-I wanted to carry on swimming...

0:15:440:15:46

-..so I said I was jumping back in.

0:15:470:15:49

-There were two jet skis

-circling the boat...

0:15:500:15:54

-..and the water

-was covering my face.

0:15:550:15:57

-I panicked

-and caught hold of the ladder.

0:15:580:16:01

-But as Cian

-tried to grab the ladder...

0:16:010:16:04

-..the driver switched on the engine.

0:16:040:16:07

-Suddenly, Cian felt himself

-being pulled underwater.

0:16:070:16:12

-I didn't know what was there.

0:16:120:16:14

-The first thing I thought of was

-that a shark had got hold of my leg.

0:16:150:16:19

-One of my friends said,

-"Where's Cian?"

0:16:190:16:23

-We felt sick,

-knowing something had happened.

0:16:230:16:27

-Cian was screaming in pain and

-holding onto the boat for dear life.

0:16:270:16:33

-I saw blood in the water...

0:16:350:16:37

-..and a piece of skin

-floating on the surface.

0:16:370:16:40

-Marcus and the driver tried to pull

-Cian into the boat but he was stuck.

0:16:410:16:46

-His leg was stuck in the propeller.

0:16:460:16:50

-I knew my skin had been ripped off.

0:16:570:17:00

-It felt like

-when you take your coat off...

0:17:000:17:03

-..and have to yank the zip.

0:17:040:17:07

-When they managed

-to raise the propeller...

0:17:080:17:11

-..they were able

-to drag Cian out of the water.

0:17:110:17:15

-He came out of the water...

0:17:160:17:19

-..and I'd never seen anything

-like that in my life before.

0:17:190:17:23

-The inside of his leg was outside

-and blood was squirting.

0:17:230:17:28

-It was like something out of a film.

0:17:280:17:30

-His foot was hanging off.

0:17:310:17:33

-He needed urgent assistance.

0:17:330:17:36

-The driver called 999

-on the way back to the harbour...

0:17:360:17:40

-..as Marcus tried to stop the blood

-pouring from his brother's leg.

0:17:400:17:45

-I just wanted to cry...

0:17:470:17:49

-..but I had to act as if

-everything was going to be alright.

0:17:490:17:54

-When you see

-things like that on telly...

0:17:540:17:57

-..blood loss and things

-hanging off, it always ends badly.

0:17:570:18:02

-But it didn't scare me.

0:18:020:18:05

-I remember telling my brother,

-"Before I die, I want to see Mam."

0:18:050:18:11

-As the boat docked in the harbour...

0:18:130:18:16

-..paramedic Andrew Watt

-was there waiting for them.

0:18:160:18:20

-It looked like a butcher's shop.

0:18:200:18:23

-Severe lacerations on the thigh,

-the calf and the foot.

0:18:230:18:27

-I'm thinking,

-"I have to do as much as I can...

0:18:280:18:31

-"..to preserve his injuries

-from getting worse."

0:18:310:18:35

-It was hard keeping Cian conscious

-and he was losing lots of blood.

0:18:350:18:39

-But the air ambulance

-was on its way.

0:18:400:18:43

-Sam Williams

-was one of the paramedics on board.

0:18:430:18:47

-We responded to a call about

-a young boy who'd jumped off a boat.

0:18:470:18:51

-We were told

-it was a possible leg amputation.

0:18:520:18:55

-Looking down, there was a crowd

-of people in the rear of the boat...

0:18:550:19:00

-..and the blood

-was seeping over the back of it.

0:19:000:19:04

-We feared the worse

-for this young lad.

0:19:040:19:07

-While Sam

-stayed with the helicopter...

0:19:080:19:11

-..paramedic Carl Hudson

-attended to Cian.

0:19:110:19:14

-The propeller had impacted his leg.

0:19:140:19:17

-His wounds were very, very serious.

0:19:170:19:20

-While I was walking down the ramp...

0:19:220:19:25

-..I saw Carl, who said

-it wasn't a full amputation.

0:19:250:19:29

-He'd sustained

-serious injuries to his leg.

0:19:290:19:33

-There was still a risk

-that he could lose his leg.

0:19:330:19:37

-The three paramedics

-had to work quickly.

0:19:370:19:40

-It was difficult to assess blood

-loss because it happened in the sea.

0:19:400:19:45

-The water will disperse the blood

-and you can't assess blood loss.

0:19:450:19:50

-We dressed the wounds

-to ensure he was clean...

0:19:500:19:53

-..and to stop

-any haemorrhage as well.

0:19:540:19:56

-Within minutes,

-Cian was on his way to hospital.

0:19:570:20:01

-He was

-rushed to theatre for surgery.

0:20:070:20:09

-He was

-under the knife for four hours...

0:20:090:20:12

-..as the surgeon

-tried to save his leg.

0:20:120:20:15

-It's been 10 months

-since the accident.

0:20:200:20:22

-Cian knows he's a lucky boy.

0:20:230:20:25

-He'd torn

-ligaments and muscles in his leg...

0:20:250:20:28

-..and although

-he was semi-conscious...

0:20:280:20:31

-..he remembers

-the paramedics helping him.

0:20:310:20:34

-I remember Carl putting his arm

-around me, telling me not to cry.

0:20:340:20:39

-That was very comforting.

0:20:390:20:42

-I asked him if I was going to die...

0:20:430:20:46

-..and he was smiling and said,

-"No, don't be silly."

0:20:460:20:49

-He said, "You're fine. You're with

-us now, you're going to be fine."

0:20:500:20:54

-They were talking to him

-to keep him alert...

0:20:570:21:00

-..and joking with him

-to lift his spirits.

0:21:000:21:04

-He needed over 700 stitches.

0:21:050:21:06

-He'll need

-further surgery in future...

0:21:070:21:10

-..but he's grateful he's alive.

0:21:100:21:13

-I know for a fact...

0:21:140:21:17

-..if they weren't here,

-I wouldn't be here either.

0:21:170:21:21

-After falling from her horse

-last October...

0:21:270:21:30

-..Dawn Jones

-is back riding once again.

0:21:310:21:33

-It was very painful from December

-to January, but I'm much better now.

0:21:340:21:39

-I'm in no pain at all. I can

-ride again and carry on as normal.

0:21:390:21:44

-She and her husband Simon

-remember the accident clearly.

0:21:450:21:49

-She was doing really well...

0:21:490:21:53

-..until things started to go wrong.

0:21:530:21:56

-She wanted to go one way

-and the horse wanted to go another.

0:21:560:22:00

-There were sandcastles, and he

-jumped over them unexpectedly.

0:22:000:22:04

-I couldn't breathe very well,

-so I turned over on my back...

0:22:050:22:09

-..and kept still.

0:22:090:22:12

-I heard something break right away,

-so I kept still.

0:22:130:22:16

-Simon was astounded by the speed

-at which the helicopter arrived.

0:22:170:22:21

-Once I'd made the call,

-it took them 14 minutes...

0:22:240:22:28

-..to reach us, which was superb.

0:22:280:22:30

-Dawn had broken five ribs...

0:22:310:22:34

-..and feared she'd be in pain

-for hours without the air ambulance.

0:22:340:22:38

-I was worried

-they wouldn't reach me on the beach.

0:22:390:22:42

-I couldn't take

-any pain relief either.

0:22:420:22:45

-It was a big help being whisked away

-in a helicopter from the seaside.

0:22:450:22:51

-Before the accident, they'd raised

-money for the Air Ambulance Service.

0:22:510:22:56

-They never thought

-they'd need the service themselves.

0:22:560:23:00

-Back then, we didn't think

-we'd ever need the air ambulance.

0:23:010:23:05

-It goes to show

-how vital the service is to us.

0:23:060:23:09

-It's there for us all...

0:23:100:23:11

-..and I advise everyone to

-raise money for the Air Ambulance.

0:23:120:23:16

-Coming up next week...

0:23:160:23:19

-..the story of a woman who needed

-an urgent blood transfusion.

0:23:190:23:23

-Nice and easy.

0:23:240:23:27

-And the mountain biker who ran into

-difficulty on the Horseshoe Pass.
