It is preferable that ORFAR members ride as a team of three or more riders. Each rider should have a
prearranged assignment to enable the team to quickly and effectively fill the role of first responders should the
team come upon an injured person while out pleasure riding. One member could begin the basic first aid
assessment. Another member could focus on securing the location from possible dangers such as traffic on the
trail, nearby objects that could fall or roll against the injured person and trying to keep curious onlookers from
getting in the way of treatment. A third rider could focus on the communication and land navigation equipment
and be prepared to contact 911 or other professional responders if necessary. This rider or a fourth rider could
be prepared to meet the professional responders and guide them to the scene of the injury if necessary.
