I participated in CERT (community emergency response team) training the past two Saturdays as part of our neighborhood preparedness activities. It was a lot of information in very little time. We learned search and rescue, triage, minimal first aid, transporting, etc. As part of the activity, 16 boys showed up to be part of our "disaster". It took them two hours to get their wounds ready. We had burns, impalements, lacerations and even an amputation. We thought they were very realistic! They boys had a great time and made the most of it by showing their wounds to friends and neighbors. Bryson even showed up at Papa Murphys only to be asked to leave because there were "small children" around. Here is one of the pictures of Bryson. He was categorized as "yellow" - meaning not critical but still needs attention. We now have 9 people in our neighborhood trained to help in an earthquake, terrorist attack, tornado or any other disaster. Hopefully we'll have time to plan and practice if and when the real thing occurs!

If only you could have seen my jaw drop when I saw that picture of Bryson! I hadn't started reading yet and I thought for sure it was a snowboarding injury like a faceplant on a rail he was trying to ride or something! Yikes! Very realistic looking I would say! Sounds like your nieghborhood is the place to be now in case of an emergency!
Haha, the warning showed up the same time as the picture... Haha.
I am super impressed with how realistic that looks! I am worried that if natural disaster hit Toledo- we'd all be toast. It would surely be PURE chaos.
Ewwww! I was wondering why you took the time to take a picture before bandaging the wound! Great costume make-up!
