0:00:03 > 0:00:05When you're with someone that's critically ill or seriously injured,

0:00:05 > 0:00:08every minute you wait for medical aid to arrive can feel like an hour.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12Which is why a helicopter like this can be one of the most beautiful sights.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14It certainly was for me when I was a copper.

0:00:14 > 0:00:20This is the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and their business is saving lives.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43From the Dales to the big cities of Leeds and Sheffield,

0:00:43 > 0:00:47patients in the UK's biggest county are never more than ten minutes from a hospital,

0:00:47 > 0:00:51thanks to this 150mph life-saver,

0:00:51 > 0:00:56and every day brings a new life or death emergency for its team of flying paramedics.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01Two helicopters, four paramedics, five million patients.

0:01:01 > 0:01:07Today, on Helicopter Heroes, a teenage boy is accidentally shot by his dad.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's gone in here.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11I'm not sure if the bullet is still in.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15They're in the middle of sitting their A-levels,

0:01:15 > 0:01:18but the drive home has ended in agony for three sixth-formers.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20I couldn't get it to stop.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25A biker must be seriously injured, but where is he?

0:01:25 > 0:01:30- He's stuck in the tree where? - Just up here.- On the fence.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34And an accident with a bonfire leaves a woman badly burnt.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Dropped an aerosol can onto it and it's exploded into her.

0:01:42 > 0:01:48From car smashes to climbing accidents, the flying paramedics have seen almost every injury

0:01:48 > 0:01:50that can happen to the human body,

0:01:50 > 0:01:54but sometimes there's a case that takes them right back to training school.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59In the Helimed office, sketchy details of a job are coming in.

0:01:59 > 0:02:06A 15-year-old, a rifle has accidentally gone off and shot him in the stomach.

0:02:06 > 0:02:13The crew scramble, leaving Dave, the dispatcher, to co-ordinate the details whilst they get going.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17He has a penetrating wound to his abdomen.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19And it's getting more difficult.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23The map is showing that the young patient is at the bottom of a steep-sided valley.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25It may be impossible to land a helicopter there.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29So you think the only way out is a winch to get him out?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31A shotgun has gone off in his chest.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34He's quite a way from the nearest road.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37We've no idea of his injuries at the moment.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41There's 2,000 square miles of these Dales and the shooting accident

0:02:41 > 0:02:45is in one of the more remote parts of Wensleydale.

0:02:45 > 0:02:51Getting to the area quickly is easy at 150 miles an hour and in a straight line.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55Pinpointing the patient in amongst all this can be more difficult.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57This is Helimed 980....

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Back at base, dispatcher Dave has an update to help the helicopter crew find him.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02They can see Simon's Seat.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06That's the high piece of ground that you're going to fly -

0:03:06 > 0:03:07according to my map -

0:03:07 > 0:03:10right over the top of Simon's Seat on your way in.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15So as you go over Simon's Seat, they should be between there and the grid reference. Over.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19If you give me another grid, I'll pop it in, mate.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21OK, zero, seven...

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Navigator and paramedic Paul Bradbury puts in a new grid reference to the helicopter satnav.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28075 607, cheers.

0:03:28 > 0:03:33The caller has just phoned back to give a more exact reference to where they are.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38So we're just going to try and establish where they are and see what we've got.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Depending on what sort of gun's gone off,

0:03:43 > 0:03:47hopefully it's not a shotgun and it will be a bit less of a calibre,

0:03:47 > 0:03:54but if it is we'll take him to the more specialist trauma unit.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59Fifteen minutes after taking off, Helimed 99 is over the grid reference.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01It's in those trees, I think.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- In the trees?- Yeah, I think so.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07OK, just check yourselves for landing, everyone, please.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11We're not gonna land just yet, but we'll go down and have a look.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16But still their patient is not in sight.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Unless someone's going to come out and give us a wave, I've got no idea.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Well, we've asked them to.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27- There's some guys over here. - Yeah, waving.

0:04:27 > 0:04:34At last, they spot the 15-year-old and, despite the slope, pilot Matt thinks they can land safely.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45Fifteen-year-old Matthew Barnes was out shooting with his dad when the accident happened.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- How much pain are you in?- A lot. - A lot.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51You've got a piece of metal wedged down here somewhere.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- It's there, I think. - It's gone in here.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yes, it's a rifle that's gone off.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I think the metal's gone in there.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- It could be a part of it. - He's not sure if the bullet's in.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Matthew is in great pain.

0:05:03 > 0:05:09- No, don't try and move.- He must be in shock, but he's remarkably calm.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Try not to worry too much. You just lie down and relax.

0:05:12 > 0:05:17It's cold up here and the wind is beginning to gust hard.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19The helicopter can't take off in very high winds,

0:05:19 > 0:05:24so it's crucial that the paramedics get Matthew ready to fly quickly.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'll give you something for the pain.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30He needs to get to hospital soon and he's in the middle of the Dales.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Coming up - the team begin to treat the gunshot wound.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40It's all in the abdominal area.

0:05:42 > 0:05:47Paramedic Darren and I ride a road with a grim reputation for accidents.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50It's not the road itself, it's the style of riding.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57And a burns victim is flown to hospital in a special pain-killing mask.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- You don't look like Kate Moss today with your burns dressing on. - I don't, no!

0:06:06 > 0:06:11Inexperienced young drivers pay more for their car insurance, and with good reason.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16Statistically they're more likely to have an accident, no matter how carefully they drive.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20And when they do, the consequences can go beyond any injuries.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25It's June, and in schools all over England and Wales,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28thousands of teenagers are sitting their A-levels,

0:06:28 > 0:06:32the vital exams that will decide their university places, even their careers.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36At Harrogate High School, the first sessions have just finished,

0:06:36 > 0:06:41but three students may not be returning to the exam hall.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46On a nearby country road, a hatchback carrying three sixth-formers home

0:06:46 > 0:06:52has been involved in a head-on collision with another car and then a tree.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54All three teenagers are trapped.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03How deep is that? That's quite deep, actually. Nice and slowly.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12The girls have been lucky to survive a big impact with a tree.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Can we deal with this girl?

0:07:15 > 0:07:21She's 18 years old, asthmatic and she can't feel anything from the waist downwards.

0:07:21 > 0:07:26- OK. What do we call you? - Charlotte.- All right, Charlotte.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Charlotte Taylor was about to sit A-level exams in psychology

0:07:30 > 0:07:33and general studies, with a university place at stake.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Now, she is seriously injured.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Can you remember what happened?

0:07:36 > 0:07:41I was just driving and it just went on the water and I couldn't get it to stop.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I didn't know what to do.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- And you've slid across, have you? - Yeah.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Cutting! Cutting now!

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Charlotte, are you in any pain at the moment?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Yeah, a lot. Down that side. - Down the side.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Charlotte's asthma, combined with a chest injury

0:07:54 > 0:07:59and worrying numbness in her legs, means she'll get priority treatment.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Her condition is the most serious.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06At the moment, the three occupants in the cars are all still trapped by the wreckage.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09With the amount of damage to the vehicle,

0:08:09 > 0:08:12there's a huge potential for them

0:08:12 > 0:08:14sustaining quite life-threatening injuries.

0:08:14 > 0:08:19How serious? The paramedics can't tell until she is released.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Charlotte, it's me again. I'm at the side here.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25We're just going to widen this door so I can get in properly.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Charlotte's little blue Corsa was her pride and joy.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33The emergency services can't afford to let that get in their way now.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Do you know her name? - Charlotte.- Charlotte.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'll just get that seatbelt.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40The car is a write-off and if they're going to release the girls

0:08:40 > 0:08:43they'll have to cut the remains apart.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47All right, Charlotte, that's one done.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50This is a difficult job for the Fire Brigade.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Working so close to the tree is hard and, until the Fire Service

0:08:54 > 0:08:57are finished, the paramedics can only watch and wait.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02You're dealing with a patient and then you have to stand aside while the fire crews

0:09:02 > 0:09:04get about doing their business.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08You know, we can't just constantly stay with the patient.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12These guys have got to get in. They've got to be able to see where they're cutting

0:09:12 > 0:09:14and they've got to make it safe.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Pete Vallance knows the car has hit one of the worst objects

0:09:17 > 0:09:20that can be involved in any road accident.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Trees are very unforgiving. You hit a tree and a tree will stay still

0:09:24 > 0:09:30and the car, obviously, has not stood up to the impact very well.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32There's quite a bit of intrusion into the cab area.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36But I'm sure they'll shortly have the roof off

0:09:36 > 0:09:39and then we'll be able to get in and start sorting the patients out.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Coming up - the emergency services start to free their patients.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Where abouts are you hurting? - All over.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Well done, son.- Well done.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59The race is on to get a shot teenager to hospital.

0:10:01 > 0:10:06And Helimed 99 drops into a local pub to pick up the landlord's mum.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Nothing attracts bikers more than the open road

0:10:16 > 0:10:20and in the Yorkshire countryside there are thousands of miles to choose from.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25But there's one village that keeps on appearing in the accident statistics.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Squires Cafe at Sherburn-in-Elmet in North Yorkshire

0:10:31 > 0:10:37attracts thousands of bikers each week, and the B road they use to get to it

0:10:37 > 0:10:42accounts for a staggering 5% of all bike deaths in England's biggest county.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46In my opinion it's not the road itself.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's down to the speed and rider behaviour.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52You can't just blame the road itself.

0:10:52 > 0:10:59But it's not just the mad and the reckless who end up getting hurt or worse on the B1222.

0:10:59 > 0:11:05Many riders are careful, sober and well equipped yet still need their local air ambulance.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11Helimed 99 is once again on its way to Squires Cafe.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14There's little map-reading required.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16The crew have all been to accidents here before.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Just a mile from the entrance to Squires, the wreckage of a bike

0:11:22 > 0:11:26is lying in the middle of the road, but there is no sign of the rider.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28He's hit a van hard.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32He's come over the brow and gone straight into the front of the pick-up.

0:11:32 > 0:11:38Helimed 99 is only a few miles away but they still don't know what's happened.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43The original caller, from this detail, that phoned the ambulance service

0:11:43 > 0:11:46didn't stop and can't really give us any more information

0:11:46 > 0:11:52when we we rang him back, so we've had to set off based on limited information.

0:11:52 > 0:11:58We've just got to lift and be available should we be required.

0:11:58 > 0:12:03Numerous passers-by called 999, but nobody knows where the rider has landed.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06The biker has vanished.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10They said it's the road that goes up past Milk Bar, they think.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's a car into a motorcyclist and they can't find the motorcyclist.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17It's not with the car, is it? I can't see into the ditch, mate.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19I can see somebody waving.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23- He's waving traffic. - They're down below.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Even from the air they can't see their patient.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29We'll get to that field next to it, the ploughed field.

0:12:29 > 0:12:36But a local land ambulance crew have spotted broken branches on the wooded slopes of a disused quarry.

0:12:36 > 0:12:44The rider has been catapulted more than 30 yards, over a 15-foot-high sign, and down the ravine.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48- He's stuck in a tree where? - It's here.- On a fence?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51It's through here.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56For doctor Bob Mark and paramedics Darren Axe and Pete Vallance, this is a difficult situation.

0:12:56 > 0:13:01Bob, just bear in mind it is a sheer drop, that guy over there's saying.

0:13:01 > 0:13:07This gentleman here in the pick-up was turning in and all I saw was

0:13:07 > 0:13:12this bike just do a couple of 360s and the rider shoot off,

0:13:12 > 0:13:15obviously into the bottom of the quarry.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Darren's run down into the quarry, but Pete and Dr Bob decide

0:13:19 > 0:13:24to scramble through the thick undergrowth and down the steep slope towards the biker.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27If we put a board down here and slide him on

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- because it's going to go here and you'll never hold him. - OK, that's fine.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Biker Steve Kirk is lying half way down the slope.

0:13:34 > 0:13:40He's got serious internal injuries, broken bones and is struggling to breathe.

0:13:40 > 0:13:47- Can we have the board, Steve. Just the board on its own. - Be careful, Steve.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Bring it all, Steve, bring it all. - Have you got a stethoscope?

0:13:50 > 0:13:52I've got one in my pocket.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Pilot Steve Cobb brings more life-saving equipment from the helicopter.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00It will have to be a quickie, he's going off again and his resps are getting quicker.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03The biker's condition is getting worse.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07He's going to have some spinal injuries.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11His injuries are so severe, the crew know that if they are

0:14:11 > 0:14:17to stand any chance of saving his life they must get him to hospital as fast as they can.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Coming your way. Right.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Take his head, please.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I've got to support to his head.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Slide him a bit more, please.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Right, let's just get out of here.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33Steve's wearing all the right gear, but even that might not save him.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Darren needs to start getting life-saving drugs into his system

0:14:36 > 0:14:41and there's still a long, hard climb back up the side of the quarry to the helicopter.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46- We're going up to helicopter which is at the top of that hill. - It's quite a long walk.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- Put him on to the ambulance and drive him up.- Right.

0:14:52 > 0:14:58It's taken just five minutes to move Steve off the steep bank and out of the quarry.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01It's been a huge effort from the whole rescue team.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04Can a spare firefighter go and check for gear, please?

0:15:04 > 0:15:08Please, anything that's there, bring it with you, please.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13Passers-by, ground paramedics and fire crews have all helped to give

0:15:13 > 0:15:15the biker the best possible chance of survival,

0:15:15 > 0:15:20but for Helimed 99's crew, there's still a lot more hard work to do.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24The gent's condition at the moment I would say is critical.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26He's had a high speed impact

0:15:26 > 0:15:29and then been thrown down into a quarry.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33At the moment he's giving us a lot of reasons for concern.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- OK...- Ooh! Is that pulse right?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Is that the cardio, Pete?

0:15:40 > 0:15:43As the crew gets Steve wired up to the helicopter's monitoring equipment,

0:15:43 > 0:15:45the extent of his injuries become clear.

0:15:45 > 0:15:50He's unconscious and his heart rate is dangerously slow.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56He needs to get to the expert care only a hospital can provide.

0:15:56 > 0:16:01- What have we got, Daz? - 67, I want to start to...

0:16:01 > 0:16:06Helimed 99, we're en route now. ETA is five minutes.

0:16:06 > 0:16:12Is it possible for you to get us a trauma team doctor up to the helipad for our arrival?

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Patient now going into arrest.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19We'll put down at Wakefield.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20Don't lean over.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26The team are coming up now, Bob.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29They're in the vehicle.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35The team have been fighting to keep Steve alive for half an hour.

0:16:35 > 0:16:40They're exhausted, but at least their patient is now in the hands of a hospital consultant.

0:16:40 > 0:16:45He was in cardiac arrest when we arrived on the pad here.

0:16:45 > 0:16:50We were met by a trauma team from the emergency department,

0:16:50 > 0:16:54where they secured his airway by intubating him.

0:16:54 > 0:17:00And we continued to carry out CPR to resuscitate him down to the unit.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02GCS was about four.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- A nasty airway.- When did he arrest?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07About ten minutes ago? Yeah.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11When they've looked at the X-rays, some of the internal injuries have

0:17:11 > 0:17:14made it really incompatible with life.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18He appears to have sustained quite a severe neck injury,

0:17:18 > 0:17:21chest trauma, and a number of fractures to his limbs.

0:17:21 > 0:17:27He was really up against it from the point of impact, really.

0:17:27 > 0:17:33We just did what we could do, but I think we were fighting a losing battle right from the beginning.

0:17:33 > 0:17:40Sadly, in spite of all the medical teams' efforts, Steve lost his fight for life.

0:17:40 > 0:17:47But most bikers here accept there is an element of danger to riding on two wheels

0:17:47 > 0:17:52and, despite knowing the risks, many keen motorcyclists refuse to give up.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55I've hitched a ride to Squires with Darren Axe.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Despite dealing with patients like Steve almost every week, he's a regular here.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13- This is Darren.- Daz. How are you?

0:18:13 > 0:18:18Tonight, some of Steve's mates have come to talk to Darren about the crash.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22His family say he was a steady rider who never took risks.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Just overtaking in the right places and everything. He were just a good rider.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31I've been riding 22 years and you do it because you enjoy doing it.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36I wouldn't sell my bike and part with it, even with the job that I do.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38And we were working on him continuously.

0:18:38 > 0:18:44And the other thing is, the team in resus - there were consultants,

0:18:44 > 0:18:48doctors, nurses, specialists, all waiting for us when we got there.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52So, you know, they couldn't have done - any of us - any more.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54What is your memory of that night?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Can you remember?- Yeah, I was here.

0:18:56 > 0:19:04I was here and I was the last person out of us to see Steve alive.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08We went out of the gate, turned right and that was it.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12And I got a phone call from his telephone by somebody else

0:19:12 > 0:19:14that was actually present at the scene.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18He rang me and I came back, just as these guys were dealing with him.

0:19:18 > 0:19:23Sometimes, no matter what you do and in spite of your best efforts,

0:19:23 > 0:19:27with the skills that you have, nothing will change the final outcome.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Yeah, yeah.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34But, to be fair to Steve, we did everything, everything within the limited skill that we have

0:19:34 > 0:19:39to try and revive him and to try and save him.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42I think most bikers are people out to enjoy themselves,

0:19:42 > 0:19:45have a good time, ride their bikes and,

0:19:45 > 0:19:50because of circumstances sometimes beyond their control, they wind up in a bad situation.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52It's not always the biker's fault.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Somebody in a car or a lorry that doesn't see you or doesn't turn,

0:19:56 > 0:19:58you can be in real trouble straightaway.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01- It's not going to put you off? - Never. Never, ever put me off.

0:20:01 > 0:20:06Darren's lost count of the times he's been called to Squire's Cafe.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11I'd like to wish that I never have to come here to pick another person up,

0:20:11 > 0:20:15from here or the surrounding area, but I'm sure that at some point we will.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's time for us to hit the road again.

0:20:17 > 0:20:23In my days as a copper I dealt with my fair share of bike crashes and I wouldn't be riding pillion

0:20:23 > 0:20:29if I didn't know the man up front was an expert rider, but others aren't quite as careful.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Another weekend, another 999 call to the B1222.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's a male on a motorcycle.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47There are medics on the scene doing a chest drain.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Bi-lateral leg fractures, abdo injury.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53The accident has happened only a few hundred yards from the cafe.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Can you see it? - Yeah, there we are, look.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01The team know the outlook is bleak, but they fight for every patient.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09High-speed motorcyclist into the wall.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14He's had three and a half litres of fluid now, tubes.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17There are some leg injuries. I've listed everything.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21I've scribbled it all down and his name in on there.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22It's obviously serious.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24The gentleman, at the moment, is in cardiac arrest.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26He's had a high-speed motorcycle accident.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28They've been working on him hard.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Come down this side, guys. Feet first.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36As Helimed 98 takes off, it flies over another bike crash.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Both riders had been at the cafe at the same time.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42One turned left, one turned right.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Both were critically injured.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Sadly, neither survived.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51No wonder the regulars of Squire's are also amongst the biggest

0:21:51 > 0:21:54supporters of the Air Ambulance charity.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Coming up - the Helimed team start work

0:22:04 > 0:22:09as the fire service finally free the teenage victims of a car crash.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10No, don't touch the other one.

0:22:13 > 0:22:19And this burns victim's treatment may look bizarre, but it could save her face from scarring.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Up in the Dales, shooting is a major sport.

0:22:29 > 0:22:35But for one father an outing with a gun has ended in a terrible accident.

0:22:35 > 0:22:40A rifle has accidentally gone off and shot him in the stomach.

0:22:40 > 0:22:46Dave, the dispatcher, has scrambled the crew to a remote moor in the Yorkshire Dales.

0:22:46 > 0:22:5115-year-old Matthew Barnes was out shooting with his dad when the accident happened.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Paramedic, Simon Cavanagh, immediately gets to work.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59It's clear Matthew has two wounds in his chest.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03We have a piece of metal wedged down here somewhere.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's gone in here.

0:23:05 > 0:23:11Matthew's dad, Steve, was actually using the gun, a 308 calibre rifle, when it backfired.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15It's a rare accident and when it happens it's usually the person

0:23:15 > 0:23:21shooting the gun that gets hurt and sometimes fatally injured.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23You just need to relax your arm.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27Steve was doing everything by the book and Matthew was standing well behind the gun.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31Part of the gun's exploded and blown back and hit him.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39The crew need to get on and treat Matthew's wounds and get him to hospital.

0:23:39 > 0:23:44Even though he's in great pain, he's being a model patient.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48He's calm and allowing the paramedics to get on with their job.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Apart from us sticking needles in you, how is your pain score?

0:23:52 > 0:23:56- If you could score it out of zero to ten?- Nine.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00And it's all in your abdominal area? Where else is it?

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- In the chest.- OK.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06The helicopter will be with you in about ten minutes.

0:24:06 > 0:24:12Back at base, dispatcher, Dave, rings up Harrogate Hospital to get them ready for the emergency.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15They're querying an exit wound.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18Whether it's gone right out or whether it's still sticking out.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20A doctor and nurse will be fine to meet them.

0:24:22 > 0:24:27Despite the remote location, a local land ambulance crew has come to help.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28What's happened?

0:24:28 > 0:24:32What we'll do, guys, we'll take him as he is

0:24:32 > 0:24:35- and hoik him across, straight on to there?- Yes, yes.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Like a lot of country sports enthusiasts,

0:24:37 > 0:24:42Matthew's dad has helped raise money for the Air Ambulance.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44I've made contributions before.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Right, you're getting your money back now.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50One, two, three.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Well done, son.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56The wind is getting up and they need to get going soon,

0:24:56 > 0:24:59but because it's blowing in the right direction, pilot, Matt,

0:24:59 > 0:25:02thinks it'll help them get to Harrogate more quickly.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06It's actually quite beneficial sometimes to have a bit of wind to come into as you land

0:25:06 > 0:25:10and with the wind going the way it's we'll get this to Harrogate even faster.

0:25:10 > 0:25:15With a large hole in his chest and a chunk of metal still in there,

0:25:15 > 0:25:19the crew can do is dress Matthew's wounds, give him pain relief

0:25:19 > 0:25:22and get him into the warmth of the chopper.

0:25:22 > 0:25:28His body has been losing heat, so he's wrapped in a special thermal sleeping bag for the flight.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29He's doing all right, aren't you, Matthew?

0:25:29 > 0:25:35It looks like a chunk of breech which has come off the gun has entered just below his rib cage.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38You can actually see it underneath the skin.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42He's looking quite stable at the minute, but, obviously, it's a time-critical thing.

0:25:46 > 0:25:52Coming up - surgeons are on standby as Matthew is flown to hospital for an emergency operation.

0:25:54 > 0:25:59And paramedic Lee spares a patient's blushes after a fire burns through her clothes.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02I don't want you walking through t' car park like this, you'll frighten people!

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Hitting a tree is one of the worst things that can happen to you in a car.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16And in North Yorkshire, three teenagers are trapped

0:26:16 > 0:26:21after their supermini was wrecked in a devastating impact.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Firefighters are taking apart 18-year-old A-level student Charlotte Taylor's car.

0:26:27 > 0:26:33She was driving two friends home when they collided with another car and hit a tree.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Now, they're about to be cut free.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40Basically, we've cut the roof off to make as much space in the vehicle as we can.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42We have also taken the doors off

0:26:42 > 0:26:46to allow us to see if there are any trappings in the lower part of the vehicle.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50to make sure the feet are clear when we take the casualties out.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Charlotte, what's your arm like? Can you move it for me? And this one?- No.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Is that one hurting?

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Yes? Whereabouts is it hurting? - All over.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Now the roof is off, the paramedics can start to remove Charlotte's

0:27:04 > 0:27:08rear-seat passenger, school friend Natasha.

0:27:08 > 0:27:15The team are treating all the girls as if they've suffered spinal injuries until they know otherwise.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20We're unable to get to our patient until the rear-seat passenger had been taken out.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23She's still conscious, still talking to us.

0:27:23 > 0:27:24Her injuries at this moment

0:27:24 > 0:27:28appear to be mainly just around the shoulder

0:27:28 > 0:27:30where the seatbelt has caught her.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33She's got some abrasions there, and possibly fractured her clavicle.

0:27:33 > 0:27:38- Give us a splint for her arm, if we've got one. - No, don't touch the arm!

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Statistically, young drivers are much more likely

0:27:41 > 0:27:49to have a road accident and the odds are even higher if other teenagers are in the car with them.

0:27:49 > 0:27:55Luckily, they're also much more likely to recover well from traumatic injuries.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59Helimed 99 always gets the most seriously injured patient.

0:27:59 > 0:28:05Charlotte will fly today, straight to the trauma centre at Leeds General Infirmary.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08- I can't make my legs straight. - Don't worry about your legs, they'll be straight in a minute.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11The first one coming down your back now.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Right, I'm going to drop the seat back.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16Is it all right to grab her jeans there?

0:28:16 > 0:28:21No, not my right leg, you can't move it. No, this one.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24With her being the driver there's evidence

0:28:24 > 0:28:27around the steering wheel that she's come into contact with that.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31Certainly the seatbelt as well has done its job,

0:28:31 > 0:28:37but injured her in the process and the bulk of the damage is round her side.

0:28:37 > 0:28:41We're just going to move your seat back a little bit, love.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Ready, steady, slide.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Ready, steady, slide.- Ahhh!

0:28:50 > 0:28:54That's it now, Charlotte. That's it.

0:28:54 > 0:29:00Charlotte has been trapped for nearly an hour, but now she's only minutes from hospital.

0:29:00 > 0:29:0615 miles away, at Leeds General Infirmary, a medical team is already on stand by to examine her.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09Her friends will also soon be undergoing treatment.

0:29:09 > 0:29:14The end of a traumatic day for all three teenagers.

0:29:14 > 0:29:19A crash at any age is frightening, but with somebody in control that's not been driving long,

0:29:19 > 0:29:23it's always frightening and the fact that she's got the fire service,

0:29:23 > 0:29:27the ambulance service and the police service

0:29:27 > 0:29:29all around her all trying to help her.

0:29:29 > 0:29:34Cutting the roof off, all the noise, all the vibration.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37To put the icing on the cake, this big yellow helicopter lands

0:29:37 > 0:29:39which, obviously, is quite worrying.

0:29:39 > 0:29:43But she's quite calm now and we'll get her to hospital.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52Charlotte probably doesn't realise it yet, but the impact

0:29:52 > 0:29:56she and her friends experienced could easily have been much worse.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Quite simply, trees are killers.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02The car is quite extensively damaged.

0:30:02 > 0:30:07There was intrusion, also, in the compartment which brings the potential for having injuries

0:30:07 > 0:30:12up even higher, because bits of the car were stuck into the compartment where the people were sat.

0:30:12 > 0:30:17I think the three young ladies there have had a very lucky escape.

0:30:20 > 0:30:25Charlotte needs surgery, but it'll be some days before doctors have a full picture of her injuries.

0:30:25 > 0:30:32Sitting the rest of her A-levels now looks a remote possibility.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39School had broken up for summer by the time Charlotte and her friends had completed their treatment

0:30:39 > 0:30:43and none managed to sit their vital exams.

0:30:43 > 0:30:48But at least they're back on their feet now and ready to answer some questions from me.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51I split my kneecap in half

0:30:51 > 0:30:55and had a pop for six weeks and now in physio to bend it.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Broke my rib which punctured by lung.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Broke my collarbone. That's it.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02That's it, oh, right.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04They're all all right now.

0:31:04 > 0:31:09Just my back and I got really bad whiplash and my teeth.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12- I broke a bone in my back. - In your back?- Yes.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Well, you're doing pretty well now.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17It got worse for a few months, but apart from that it's all right.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20Do they think you'll be making a full recovery from that?

0:31:20 > 0:31:24They don't know because it's a touchy thing your back, but hopefully, yeah.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28No wonder they couldn't sit their A-levels, but Charlotte,

0:31:28 > 0:31:33who wants to be a teacher, has had some good news from her chosen university.

0:31:33 > 0:31:38Yes, I'd applied to go to Sheffield Hallam and I had to ring them and put it all in writing as well,

0:31:38 > 0:31:41and they're going to go by my predicted grades.

0:31:41 > 0:31:46I got a letter back saying even if my grades weren't what they were going to be,

0:31:46 > 0:31:51they'd take everything into consideration and I should still be able to go to university.

0:31:55 > 0:31:59Coming up - a teenager has been shot by his own father,

0:31:59 > 0:32:02but even by air, he's still 20 minutes from hospital.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12Everyone wants to protect themselves from identity theft these days,

0:32:12 > 0:32:15so destroying confidential paperwork is a good idea.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19But doing it on a bonfire is more dangerous than you think.

0:32:21 > 0:32:26At Air Ambulance HQ an emergency call has come in from a pub in the Peak District.

0:32:26 > 0:32:33At the Dog And Partridge near Penistone there's been an explosion and a woman has been badly burnt.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35Heli 99 is setting off to you.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39The crew are quickly in the air and racing towards the scene.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Incidents like this are quite rare,

0:32:41 > 0:32:44but paramedic Lee Davidson knows patients who have been badly burnt

0:32:44 > 0:32:49will be in immense pain and need medical help as soon as possible.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51We need to get fluid replacement.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Pain relief. One of the biggest things is pain

0:32:53 > 0:32:55with the exposure of burns to the air.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58So we're carrying the burns dressings so we just need to get

0:32:58 > 0:33:01the patient stabilised and covered with burns dressings

0:33:01 > 0:33:05just to prevent further infection if the skin is broken

0:33:05 > 0:33:08and then get some pain relief

0:33:08 > 0:33:11and some fluid on board and as quickly as possible to hospital.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15The helicopter will get the crew to the remote pub in 15 minutes,

0:33:15 > 0:33:17but that might not be its only mission today.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21One of the big advantages of us going, really, is we could take the

0:33:21 > 0:33:27patient straight to the regional burns unit in Wakefield.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30And they've got all the specialist care.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34The crew are quickly over the grid reference they've been given

0:33:34 > 0:33:37and paramedic Lee jumps out, ready to find his patient.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41But there's an unexpected sight over the stone wall.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44The way you've give us the grid is the Flouch Hotel.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48Yeah, there's no emergency vehicles, is there?

0:33:48 > 0:33:52There's no sign of the injured woman or a fire

0:33:52 > 0:33:56and it quickly becomes clear they've landed at the wrong pub.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Lee knows the woman needs their help,

0:33:58 > 0:34:02so the crew quickly take off again in search of The Dog And Partridge.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05OK, we have a new grid reference and it's

0:34:05 > 0:34:08due west of here, apparently.

0:34:08 > 0:34:13Just two miles down the road they find the right pub.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15I've got a 70-year-old female.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17She's gone down to the fire to burn some rubbish.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20She's dropped an aerosol can on to it and it's exploded into her.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24She's got single-thickness burns.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- I'm just going to uncover your face for a second.- Yeah.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33Elaine Marsh has managed to make it back to the pub

0:34:33 > 0:34:35and a ground paramedic is soothing her burns with cold towels.

0:34:35 > 0:34:41- The explosion was so powerful it actually set her clothes on fire. - Oh, gosh, yes.

0:34:41 > 0:34:46She'd glasses on and her glasses have completely disintegrated.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49- What about pain? Are you in any pain at the moment?- No.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51No. There's no pain?

0:34:51 > 0:34:55Normally a patient without much pain is a relief for paramedic Lee,

0:34:55 > 0:34:57but with burns patients this is a bad sign.

0:34:57 > 0:35:03Elaine's burns are so severe the nerve endings in her skin could be badly damaged.

0:35:03 > 0:35:08Something has flashed back out of the fire which has burnt

0:35:08 > 0:35:14her forearms and all of her face here and parts of her hair.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18I'm just going to get a line into you and then we'll dress these forearms.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20Elaine's fingers are also starting to swell up.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24She's not taken her wedding off for nearly 50 years,

0:35:24 > 0:35:27but it must come off now or she could lose her finger.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30The best thing is for her to get to a specialist unit.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34So we're just going to re-dress these burns with some cooling gel.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37The cooling gel and cling film helps sooth the burns and prevent infection,

0:35:37 > 0:35:41but with the helicopter parked across the pub's car park,

0:35:41 > 0:35:45paramedic Lee turns fashion designer to save Elaine's blushes.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48I'm just going to make you a sarong, all right?

0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Can you stand up for me, sweetheart? - I'm all right.

0:35:51 > 0:35:56I know you are, but I don't want you walking through t' car park like this, you'll be frightening people!

0:35:56 > 0:35:58They'll be thinking there's a streaker!

0:35:58 > 0:36:01The plan is now we take this lady to Pinderfields,

0:36:01 > 0:36:04which, for us, is about a seven minute flight.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06It's quite a long way for a land ambulance.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09When it's burns, the quicker they get treated the better.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12To go by road, you're probably looking at half an hour,

0:36:12 > 0:36:17so seven minutes for us, that's the option to take.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Come in and I'll see to you a second.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24Just lay your head back for me a second.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27It'll cool and soothe it.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30Thanks to the crew, Elaine's soon on her way to hospital.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33It's been a traumatic experience.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36But Lee has his own way of reassuring his patients.

0:36:36 > 0:36:41- You don't look like Kate Moss today with your burns dressing on. - I don't, no.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45We've managed to get them covered which can cause quite a bit of pain if we don't.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47She says she's pain free.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51The eyewitnesses at the scene said that she was actually on fire.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54Her hair and trousers were on fire so we need to get her there

0:36:54 > 0:36:57as quickly as possible and that's what the helicopter allows.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00A team of burns specialists are waiting at Pinderfields Hospital

0:37:00 > 0:37:05and just five minutes later, Helimed 99 arrives in Wakefield.

0:37:05 > 0:37:10Anybody who has burns like that needs to be seen by a specialist centre

0:37:10 > 0:37:13and the burns unit here at Wakefield, at Pinderfields,

0:37:13 > 0:37:18can give her that speciality and their team was waiting for us when we went in

0:37:18 > 0:37:20and she was given the immediate care that she needed.

0:37:20 > 0:37:26To the eye it doesn't look too bad, but burns like that can be very, very painful.

0:37:26 > 0:37:33You can get quite a lot of fluid loss if the skin becomes broken and there's a risk of infection.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35It's a worrying time for Elaine and her family.

0:37:35 > 0:37:40Recovering from burn injuries can be very traumatic as patients wait

0:37:40 > 0:37:42to find out how significant the scarring will be.

0:37:42 > 0:37:48But just 24 hours later, Elaine seems to be coping well.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50I probably took two hours to start blistering and then they

0:37:50 > 0:37:54snipped away at the blisters that had started to form and then they

0:37:54 > 0:38:01put some dressings on and I have to keep these on for, I think, two to three days.

0:38:01 > 0:38:06I don't think mine is a serious one when you see people in here,

0:38:06 > 0:38:10but I didn't realise it was as bad as what it is.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14Elaine still remembers the incident clearly and, like many burns patients,

0:38:14 > 0:38:17couldn't believe how quickly the fire spread.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20It sounded as though it was something exploding.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23Either a lighter or a can. Something.

0:38:23 > 0:38:29I just bent down to pick some twigs up and as I bent down that's when

0:38:29 > 0:38:34my face must have caught the worst and I stood up and I was all on fire.

0:38:34 > 0:38:39And literally my trousers were melting and my jacket, in front of me.

0:38:39 > 0:38:43It's going to take a long time for Elaine's burnt skin to heal

0:38:43 > 0:38:46and it means a complete change of lifestyle.

0:38:46 > 0:38:51All my skin will peel off and it'll be very tight

0:38:51 > 0:38:57for probably 12 or 18 months and I shall have to take great care.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00Well moisturised and keep out of the sun.

0:39:00 > 0:39:04But that's no price to pay for your life, is it?

0:39:09 > 0:39:13Now, do you remember the teenager accidentally shot by his own dad?

0:39:13 > 0:39:17The team think that against the odds he may have escaped with only minor injuries,

0:39:17 > 0:39:21but until they've got him to hospital they can't be sure.

0:39:21 > 0:39:2615-year-old Matthew Barnes has been badly injured after a gun backfired.

0:39:26 > 0:39:32His dad was out shooting in the Dales and Matthew was standing behind him when he was hit.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36Part of the gun's exploded and blown back and hit him.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42Paramedics, Paul Bradbury and Simon Cavanagh treated Matthew's wounds

0:39:42 > 0:39:47as best they could in the field, but he needs to get to hospital quickly.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51It's a journey that will take 40 minutes by road.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55In this helicopter, with a tail wind, it's going to take just ten.

0:39:55 > 0:39:59- All secure in the back and OK. - Clear left and clear right.

0:39:59 > 0:40:04Simon now has to ensure that Matthew's condition doesn't deteriorate during the flight.

0:40:04 > 0:40:09It looks like there's an entrance wound just below his rib cage.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11He's complaining of pain in his chest although

0:40:11 > 0:40:14it looks as if part of the breech has tracked down towards his abdomen.

0:40:14 > 0:40:20He's got what feels like a bit of metal just above his tummy button.

0:40:20 > 0:40:24So there's something embedded in there. We don't know how many bits it's broken into.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27It's come with quite a force.

0:40:27 > 0:40:30He's being very brave about it all, to be honest.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33They'll have to do an X-ray first to be sure there's only one bit.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Then when they've decided how many bits there are then they'll work out

0:40:36 > 0:40:40the best way of removing it without damaging or without

0:40:40 > 0:40:43making a huge cut and damaging too many structures.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46That's a decision for a surgeon, really.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49The point of the ambulance service is to get people to hospital quickly

0:40:49 > 0:40:52where they can have the definitive care that they need -

0:40:52 > 0:40:57surgeons, doctors, X-ray machines, back-up, intensive care units.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01None of those are available at the side of the road so the quicker

0:41:01 > 0:41:04the patient gets to hospital the better, really.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07I'm not sure I'd be that brave if I'd just been shot.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10Within an hour of leaving the fells,

0:41:10 > 0:41:15Matthew was undergoing surgery to remove metal from his abdomen.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18Gunshot wounds are rare and dangerous.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21But incredibly, within a few weeks,

0:41:21 > 0:41:27he's back in the Dales with his dad, his wounds healed already.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29That was the entry.

0:41:29 > 0:41:35That was where they cut one piece out. That was the entry

0:41:35 > 0:41:38and it ended up lodged in there.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39And there's another one down here.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42Matthew, I used to an police officer for eight years

0:41:42 > 0:41:47and I saw loads of people injured with firearms and I'm amazed to see you're up so quickly.

0:41:47 > 0:41:50What can you remember about what happened that day?

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Nothing much except for going to hospital about an hour afterwards.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Really? You just can't remember?

0:41:55 > 0:41:58- No.- After I fired a shot there was a funny noise

0:41:58 > 0:42:02and then a lot of swearing from behind me.

0:42:02 > 0:42:03When I turned round,

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Matt was ripping his coat open.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09What do you feel about shooting now?

0:42:09 > 0:42:13- I still want to go. - You still want to?- Yeah. - It's not put you off?- No.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16What did Matthew's mum say when you got back?

0:42:16 > 0:42:23Well, she was obviously very worried in the first place, but since then,

0:42:23 > 0:42:28not a lot really. She's no objection to us carrying on.

0:42:28 > 0:42:32It went down a lot better than I thought it would, to be honest!

0:42:32 > 0:42:37Matthew and his dad are unlikely to be shooting this gun again,

0:42:37 > 0:42:42but it'll take more than a near miss to keep them off the fells.

0:42:42 > 0:42:46That's all from Helicopter Heroes. But when we come back...

0:42:47 > 0:42:51A sports car takes off and hits a roadside building.

0:42:51 > 0:42:52Now, two people are trapped.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54She's very cold.

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Three motorcyclists badly need help high in the Dales.

0:42:59 > 0:43:03Several motorcyclists have gone into the wagon as they've gone round the corner.

0:43:05 > 0:43:08There's an accident with a saw and a man loses his hand.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11He's actually lost his thumb and taken most of his fingers off.

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Can surgeons sew it back on?

0:43:15 > 0:43:20And paramedic Daz saves a woman in a diabetic coma with the help of an old-fashioned remedy.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22Can you get me some jam and bread?
