Many people really underestimate how difficult being a bus driver really is. They think they do the same route everyday, run on autopilot pick people up, then drop them off and call it a day. But this really couldn’t be further from the truth. If you have ever sat down and spoke to a bus driver about their job they will tell you there is a lot more to it than meets the eye.

First of all, buses for the most part are some of the biggest vehicles on the road and they are much more difficult to maneuver than smaller cars. Second, when the bus is full there are many distractions that can pop up out of no where that the bus driver has to deal with as they happen. Unruly loud obnoxious passengers, people fighting, children misbehaving and screaming all are happening simultaneously as the bus driver does their route and is expected to do it flawlessly keeping everyone safe.

A lot of people really don’t even give a second thought to their bus driver once they climb up those steps and enter the bus. We pretty much just expect to get to our destination, with 0 complications and put a huge amount of trust into a person that we tend to not think twice about. Any veteran bus driver will tell you, that anything can happen at any moment without warning and you have to stay completely vigilant, calm and not let these abrupt distractions put any of the passengers safety at risk.

With this being said this brings us to today’s heroic story about a bus driver who found herself in an emergency situation and she had to act fast before a tragedy occurred. This particular bus driver was an older woman who drove a school bus for a living. She was on her normal school route as the bus began to fill with more and more school children.

As you know, if you ever took the bus as a kid, that things can get pretty rowdy and out of control on the bus. The bus driver has to constantly try to keep the peace, while driving the bus steady and getting to the final destination without any major issues. This one particular day seemed pretty normal, the kids were a little more amped up than usual but it wasn’t too bad. She kept looking back in her rearview mirror every minute or so just to make sure all the passengers were fine.

All of sudden she heard a strange sound coming from behind her, she looked back and one of the kids pointed and screamed he’s choking! For about 2 seconds she had froze not knowing exactly what to do. Luckily her gut instincts kicked in really fast, instead of panicking and completely freaking out, she pulled the bus over as quick as she could, stayed calm cool and collected as she ran towards the young boy who was choking. All the kids on the bus watched in terror as it all unfolded before their eyes! She got behind the boy, remembered her CPR training and immediately began to give the 5 year old boy the Heimlich Maneuver.

The entire horrifying scene was caught on the school buses video camera. Watch the video below to see it all play out in real time:

This Simple Trick Can Save A Choking Baby’s Life. I’m So Happy I Learned THIS

All newborn babies and infants are extremely vulnerable to choking hazards. At the beginning stages of life everything is new to them and their tiny bodies are extremely fragile. It’s a never ending battle for parents and caretakers, who have to constantly be on the lookout for potential hazards, in order to keep them safe. In terms of size, a young child’s windpipe is comparable to the diameter of a drinking straw and their throats aren’t much wider.

In children under 5 years of age, choking is the fourth leading cause of unintentional death, and food is the the most common cause in these cases. Any food can be a possible choking risk and young children should always be closely supervised when eating or drinking. Another danger to infants is toys and small objects left around the house that they can get their hands on and stick in their mouths.

While some toy manufacturers clearly label toys that may present a choking hazard to kids, many others do not. Regardless of that, lots of small objects that aren’t specifically made for kids are all around houses and if you don’t baby-proof areas children play in, you are asking for trouble. If a child ever does end up choking on food or an object would you know what to do?

Many parents, and people in general, have no clue what to do if and when a baby starts to choke. That’s scary considering that in one survey over 40% of parents reported that they had witnessed their own baby choke.

This is what prompted St John Ambulance to make a public service advert in the form of an animated video. It both instructs and shows visually via animated characters exactly what to do if an infant child chokes or stops breathing. The following instructions were taken word for word from the advert, “If your baby is choking, lay them face down on your thigh.

Then one gives up to five back blows. If that doesn’t work, turn them over and give them up to 5 chest thrusts….until the airway is clear. And if that still doesn’t work, call an ambulance.”

This basic information only takes a minute to digest and is easy to remember. It’s vitally important for the health and safety of all infants and babies that people know about this and are aware of what to do.

All children are delicate, but newborn babies are especially so because they are at their most fragile stage in life. Infants must be handled with care and monitored closely by parents and caretakers in order to keep them as safe as can be, you just never know when a potential hazard might pop up.

Out of all the risks to newborns and infants, choking is one of the biggest ones. According to the New York State Department of Health, children under 5 are at the greatest risk of choking and it’s the fourth leading cause of unintentional death among them. In the majority of cases, food is the most common cause but toys and other small objects can pose a choking hazard as well. Kids love picking up random things they find around the house and oftentimes they end up sticking those items in their mouths. Even if you baby-proof play areas and supervise infants, there is always a chance they could choke on something they find or eat.

To put the issue in perspective a young child’s windpipe is comparable to the diameter of a drinking straw in terms of size, and their throats aren’t much wider. Things can easily get stuck or lodged in their throats. If that should ever happen would you know what to do?

Most people have absolutely no clue about what they should do if a baby is choking. That’s alarming in light of one survey conducted by first aid charity St John Ambulance, which found that over 40% of parents had witnessed their own baby choke. They also found that over four-fifths of the parents they questioned didn’t know what to do or how to respond to a choking baby.

Those numbers are what spurred the charity to make the accompanying public service advert in the form of an animated video. It’s a wonderful way to instruct and visually demonstrate exactly what you need to do if a baby chokes or stops breathing. The animated characters take you through the hazards and the steps so you can be prepared if/when this ever happens to you. Here is exactly what the video instructs you to do:

“If your baby is choking, lay them face down on your thigh. Then one gives up to five back blows. If that doesn’t work, turn them over and give them up to 5 chest thrusts….until the airway is clear. And if that still doesn’t work, call an ambulance.” It’s basic and it takes less than a minute to watch the video which will imprint on your mind, stay with you for longer, and make it easy to remember. People everywhere need to see this so they know how to respond to a choking infant, regardless of whether or not they have a young baby at home.
