Old man found DEAD on cycle path

or so we thought, just seems like he fell asleep in the middle of the cycle path, two cyclists were concerned but were frightened to see if he was dead or asleep. With a little nudge he woke up & was on his way, poor chap.

good job the scooter had a `dead mans brake` excuse the pun & he didn`t stop in the middle of a main road, he seem to come to his senses quick & off he went thank god

Lmao, yeah poor guy indeed, imagine being the one who wakes him up and has to explain how everyone thought he had died! Was the dude like "fuck you, im only 97"!?

Glad he's okay, must have been scary

@marafi Well if you stating DRABC Firstly you'd check response that would normally determine if they asleep or dead, Cant flick, pinch or any part of a persons body the HSE Board states all you can do is place hand on shoulder and shake

I knew a skydiver who got bored very easily.

Well done for stopping. It takes courage in this day and age to be civil and socially aware like this!

[marafi]

Do you know DR ABC the basic of first aid. IT help even being a cyclist around UK. Good on you mate for checking. Next time if a person is either alsleep or dead check his chest if it rises. OR just gently fick his eye lashes will show if he is awake. First aider sometimes help though its annoying when the public have a camera phone! lol

Never a dull moment on your commute.

Oh God, that's not good. 'Asleep' or a health problem. I hope he never goes on the road. I had to jump out of the way of one of those things in a pedestrian precinct, a crazy O.A.P whizzing around the corner at speed! LOL Have some fun while you can I suppose. Maybe this one was all partied out. Well done for being brave enough to prod him.
