Broken helmet, rider unconscious: What the fall near Andratx says about safety in Mallorca

Answer

What should cyclists in Mallorca do if someone suddenly collapses during a ride?

If a rider loses consciousness, the group should stop immediately, keep the person still and call emergency services right away. In a serious fall, moving the injured person without medical guidance can make things worse, especially if there may be a head, neck or spine injury. Clear communication with emergency responders and exact location details are important in Mallorca’s more remote areas.
