It’s such a nice tale and I especially love the ending part where the police were, they were trying to ask if you need psychological help, because they didn't want you to have a traumatic sort of like live with the trauma of that kind of situation of the emergency situation, as a very moving act I would say. Because I thought the police were just coming to say what did you do, Simon?
No, they were really good actually, so they came and they asked more to just double check that I was okay than anything else, but they wanted to hear what had happened. And then also tell me the lady had been was fine, she was okay, she was not too seriously injured, not life threateningly.
But I back then in the darkness in that sort of situation, when you have no medical training, you don't really know the extent of her injury, were you scared at all, like she's gonna die on me? Because there's bound to be some time, at least half an hour or so that you had to wait with her in the car, right?
Yeah, at that time, I think there was adrenaline, there was a lot of adrenaline going on. Of course, I was worried, but I didn't feel I didn't sort of go, Oh my God, this is no what do I do? I just sort of I think common sense sort of played a role. She's bleeding, okay, I want to stop the bleeding. Going, passing out is not a good thing, okay, I'll keep talking to her and keep her awake. Or she's shivering, I'll make sure the heat is up and give her blankets. So it was really just common sense stuff.
I suppose some people are like that, they are extremely calm in these kind of situations that don't freak out because it's like the logical part of the brain is taking control, they compartmentalize so they don't really have the time to feel the emotions. That's what you were saying that delayed shock.
Delayed shock, and then once it was done, once I could suddenly breathe and go, okay, she's now in the ambulance, she's now not my responsibility. That's when my brain decided to go on a holiday. And I have no recollection, no memory.
Now having told us the story, let me I have a few questions to ask. Was this completely a freak accident that never happened or was it actually a relatively common danger that people have to watch out for the falling boulders?
It's not common, it's certainly not common, but it does happen because these roads we don't have cars on them all the time. Boulders or rocks will fall off cliff faces, but usually it they just fall and no one's around, doesn't affect anyone. There are cases where a rock has fallen and it's around a corner, a car comes around the corner and hits the rock. It's not very common, no.
Also in New Zealand and I'm sure it's the same in some parts of China where there's a lot of mountainous, mountain roads. They put like a metal mesh over the rock face.
Oh, yes. 一个网子 to hold the falling rock.
To hold the falling rocks. And so that's pretty common. Now in New Zealand.
I see.
But if people were to travel to New Zealand for the first time travelers, what kind of dangers especially from nature should people watch out for? I know you don't really have many dangerous animals. Do you have any other risks that people have to watch out for?
