Lighter news - Dawn French is in the crowds

 

[MegaBeast]

Was at fence 11, heavy fall, horse ok but she hasn't moved hopefully just a precaution as paramedics were straight on to the scene

says 16a on H&H commentary?

 

[Deefa]

Really hope she is ok, this hold is very long

 

[Nic]

H&C on twitter saying she was unconcious for 10 mins but now awake, air ambulance leaving shortly.

 

[Vizslak]

this is one of the longest holds I can remember, disconcerting no comments on it at all too

 

[charlie76]

When the young girl fell off at mattingly they had to stop the event until there was a first aider in situ before re starting.If the medics are involved with the fall the they won't be able to re start until they are freed up.

H&C on twitter saying she was unconcious for 10 mins but now awake, air ambulance leaving shortly.

Encouraging, I think?

 

[Megan_T]

Yeah it was the rail into the sunken road. Poor girl. Hopefully they just need to take her for precautions seeing as she was unconscious for so long.

One of my colleagues keeps coming in asking me if a horse as been shot yet. I've given up trying to explain!

 

[Ignition]

the problem is theres got to be a certain amout on ambulances and paramedics in attendance so if they are busy or have left to take someone to the hospital or helicopter then everything has to wait until they are back in position. it doesnt necessarily mean the injury is worse because of the amount of time taken to start the course back up. sorry for awful grammar i am writing on my phone!

 

[Megan_T]

Theyre restarting

 

[rhino]

Radio badminton has just confirmed E Power is conscious and being airlifted to frenchay

 

[brighteyes]

Off again

 

[china]

h&h live have just said ambulance has taken off.

 

[AprilBlossom]

Sounds like a restart will be soon now...

 

[Supertrooper]

Looks like they'll tell us something in a minute xx

 

[MegaBeast]

they're off again in a moment so assume they don't wait for the air ambulance to return, was Ingrid taken off in the air ambulance as well after her fall?

 

[Jane_Lou]

Text from a friend there, sounds like rotational with horse landing on her, helicopter just taken off.

i think they r lightning conductors

 

[debsflo]

tv back on hopefully theyll update

 

[teapot]

Just texted friend who's there to see if helicopter has landed/taken off again yet...

When the young girl fell off at mattingly they had to stop the event until there was a first aider in situ before re starting.If the medics are involved with the fall the they won't be able to re start until they are freed up.

There are usually about 2 medics and a para at each fence is I remember rightly. They'll get started pretty quickly.

Poles on top of the house one assumes are radio/satellite masts

 

[measles]

Friend there says a second air ambulance has arrived so I guess that is why they can restart. Every wish to Elizabeth and I hope the others on course get home safely
