RIP.
Perhaps he wasn't conditioned to do the Biathlon?
But anyway, it was stated in the newspaper that medical personnel
stayed on scene for 30 minutes to revive the guy; when ask to
explain why not earlier evacuation, they claim that it would be
impossible to defib him in the safety ambulance.
I think they should have followed the protocols that has been
taught to them in SMM (assuming that the cover medics are normal
SAF Medics). Defib can be done in a moving ambulance; all the more
with the new Ford Ambulance. The mistake was to delay transport to
the hospital where better and intense treatment could be
given.
Sadly, I believe there may be a trial for those medical personnel
and others involved.

I think the medics are acting according to some standing orders
for them. It seems that everytime incidents of collaspe happen,
they take at least 20 to 30 minutes to evacuate the victim.
Maybe the medics should have expedite the situation according to
their experience and instinct. I can't say that I'm right as I'm
not a medic. These are just my thoughts.
Then again, how could one expect fast evacuation when you can spend
2 hours waiting to see MO at Medical Centre, and another few hours
for your medicine and status?
