Riders Rescue was created with the intention to reduce fatalities and improve the survival rates for those injured in crashes involving two wheel vehicles. Although there are other out of state and national organizations that do cover similar focuses, they do not have the pulse on the specific needs of the state of Indiana. Just because many states share similarities, doesn't mean they're exactly the same.
Riders Rescue offers basic motorcycle first aid training for the general public so that motorcyclists and bystanders can help in the event of a motorcycle or any other two wheel trauma accident. Our goal is to have as many Hoosiers trained and prepared to handle motorcycle and two wheel accidents as possible, with training available to all corners of the state. This course is NOT intended for licensed healthcare providers nor is a replacement for state licensed EMS training unless specified otherwise.
