Sorry, a tourniquet would do nothing for a 10 cm wound and a severed femoral artery higher up than the leg, which this injury reportedly was. You would need an immediate vascular clamp or someone trained to apply pressure (if injury was low enough), and even then I’m not sure a person could survive this injury outside the hospital.Besides CPR every surfer should know how to use a tourniquet- especially when you are far away from emergency medical care.
For the prices people are paying all the boats and surf camps should have trained EMTs On the crew.
I keep two of these in my travel first aid kit.
Unfortunately you’re right. It’s scary to think about an injury that severe could happen to anyone surfing and there’s little you can do about it if it does.Sorry, a tourniquet would do nothing for a 10 cm wound and a severed femoral artery higher up than the leg, which this injury reportedly was.

Duller? No, sharper and more flex? Yes.F-ing Terrible!!! Horrible way to go....Does anyone sand their fins down to make them a little duller?
pencil dive works can confirmNever really thought of this. Is there a "safest way" to exit a barrel in which you will not be coming out of? I've had barrels clamp on me all the time and never actually thought about it. Not really aware of a best practice I guess. Eject into the wall of the wave? Any real barrel hunter's advice here?
Sand the trailing edge of your fins and avoid G10 like the plague.F-ing Terrible!!! Horrible way to go....Does anyone sand their fins down to make them a little duller?
