The bike had a few issues but was still in “rideable” condition. However, as an experienced adventure motorcyclist, Riemann made sure to have a satellite tracking device with him before setting out on the journey.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the journey, Ross was involved in a serious accident. He hit his head after falling off the motorcycle and told Riemann he couldn’t move his arms and legs.
After a while, he regained feeling in his legs, but the extreme heat of the Simpson Desert made it difficult for him to recover.
Until medical help arrived, Riemann went to great lengths to keep Ross cool and prevent him from moving to prevent further harm.
Riemann cut off some of Ross’ clothes to increase air circulation and then built a temporary shelter to keep him in the shade. They also had a few water bottles with them; Riemann poured the water over Ross to ensure maximum cooling.
After a while, a rescue helicopter arrived at the scene. The medical team quickly treated Ross for shock and pain and then stabilized him sufficiently so that he could be taken to the hospital.
According to a comment Riemann added to the video he uploaded to YouTube, Ross recovered quickly and did not suffer any spinal injuries — which was everyone’s biggest fear in the immediate aftermath of the crash.
However, the video offers a unique look at the effectiveness of remote rescue and the importance of going on adventures with a friend who can help you in emergencies.
