Question: Student Med Exam, Instructor Training?
I wanted to present two questions to the Forum:
1. Do you feel a medical fitness exam prior to a student undertaking formal kiteboarding training is a prudent step? If so, what components do you feel such an exam should entail?* 2. What minimum medical related training do you feel it would be appropriate for kiteboarding instructors to receive such as first aid, CPR or ?** There is a long precident in other sports and activities for such exams and instructor training. The findings of this discussion could be forwarded to training organizations. * Some requirements related to SCUBA diving appear at: http://www.scuba-doc.com/medexam.htm http://www.ecdivers.com/forms/medicalstatement.pdf http://www.hawaii.edu/ehso/diving/MEDEX03.pdf ** Some instructor certification requirements related to SCUBA diving appear at: http://www.naui.org/training/instructor.html A recent discussion regarding the "usefulness" of CPR training was started on kiteforum at: http://www.kiteforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2317898 What views does the Forum have in this regard?
