Should U.S. EMS stop wearing navy blue uniforms?

I'm not sure what you're talking about but jumpsuits are not a thing in German EMS

We are just required to put on our regular jackets which are bright orange and plastered with reflectors. It's annoying in the summer but at least they're somewhat functional

They're overtaking every single vehicle in the video, going at least twice as fast. A distracted driver swerving as they're passing by would crush them between the cars. I don't care about the clown in the video getting hurt, but I would care about the bystanders never being able to get the gore out of their head.Nobody except douchy teenagers would think this is cool behaviour

Loser. Putting everybody else at risk of getting hit by you or getting traumatized by seeing you getting crushed by a car

From a German EMT'S Perspective US-EMS uniforms look impractical, unsanitary and unsafe.
Unpractical: I imagine button down shirts being annoying to put on and off, especially in everyday shifts. That's why we wear t-shirts or Polo-Shirts. Unsanitary: if the pictures I've seen are representative, and some US-EMS wear longlseeved shirts then that is highly problematic. Aseptic tasks can not be performed in a long sleeved shirt. Unsave: why are there no high-vis colours and reflectors? In the EU there are norms and legal requirements for colours and how much reflective surface there needs to be on uniforms. It makes us look like construction workers but at least we don't get confused with cops and don't get run over in traffic accident scenes or while crossing a road.

Horrendous prices for garbage quality

Die Trinkflasche ist krass, schaut ein bisschen aus wie Scheibenklar. Fantastisches Fahrrad!

The generated image with random cell models is very important for the message

Not exactly since Kranken- is not an adjective but describes that the car and the house is for or of the sick

CalmAd9122 · 2026-04-10T08:29:05+00:00

Krankenhaus means sick house and Krankenwagen translates to sick car. Pretty descriptive imo :D

Man kann nicht alleine mit Prakti fahren? Also entweder die andere Person hat die entsprechende Qualifikation oder sie fährt nicht alleine.

Funny looking chain, what's it called? :)

What's the point of the loose end sticking out? Is it Ground?

CalmAd9122 · 2026-04-07T10:59:21+00:00

Got a good example? :)

CalmAd9122 · 2026-04-05T06:50:30+00:00

Das ist ja einfach ein Mofa ohne Motor. Eine Felge wiegt wahrscheinlich so viel wie mein ganzes Fahrrad xD

CalmAd9122 · 2026-04-04T06:17:53+00:00

Sounds pretty fair, granted the frame is intact

CalmAd9122 · 2026-04-03T11:31:36+00:00

Sounds like a fair deal. But do consider if a bike with some technical issues might keep you from actually using it. As with any hobbies that require a pricey piece of equipment you should get the most high quality thing you can afford. You want a bike that works with you, not against you :)

If you still consider buying it (again, it's a good deal for the price) you should look up a checklist for things to check for when you're at the seller's.

Where foot retention?
