An Air Ambulance was told to move as it landed to give aid to a fallen horserider.
Landing on a Billionaires property, some jumped up muppet security guard told it to move. That is in its self a pretty bad state of affairs, but check out the "excuses" given for why it was told to move on.
Emergency response crews, including helicopters are permitted to cause damage in order to get to a casualty, and given the fact helis have landed n the estate before... leads to the top security bloke coming up with the following drivel.
My sister fell of her horse once, I am glad she wasn´t near where this numpty is in charge of security, as the Air Ambulance landed, in what I consider to be quite a risky area!!!
The farmer, who didn´t know her from eve, couldn´t have been more helpful to either the horse riders or the ambulance crew, he conveyed the paramedics and their kit, on the back of a tractor. And stabled her horse.
Had she fallen near this esate, in that instance my sister could have died.
She wanted to be a RMP horse rider, (they allowed women at that time) but couldn´t join up due to having a metal pin inserted in to her femur amongst other injuries.
I´d imagine such frivoulous excuses would be not raised by "head of security" had it been a member of the family or one of the security guards requiring hte air ambulance....
And given the inability of the security team to react to unannounced activity......

A fellow horse-rider who saw the accident said: âThe guard said, âSorry mate, you canât cut the fence.â
âThe paramedic told him that they had to get to someone who was badly injured.
âBut the guard just replied, âYouâll have to take off again then.â The paramedic talked to the doctor with him and then the helicopter took off again.
âIt took another 20 minutes before they finally reached the woman. She fell off her horse while it was cantering and landed on her head and was unconscious.

'Aircraft canât just fly in like that. I understand it was an emergency, but they should have notified us. We have people working in the grounds, including gardeners, and if they have protective earphones on they canât hear anything.
"It could have landed on top of someone, or there could have been other aircraft coming into the estate â we do have a landing area here.
âOne guard was relaying back to me what was going on as I was in the control room. I told the guard to tell them to contact me direct, but before we could sort it out they just took off again.
âWe donât have a problem with the air ambulance landing here or cutting the fence. Theyâve done it before, but we do need to be notified first.
âSheik Al Maktoum wasnât here at the time, but even so it sparks a panic if an aircraft suddenly appears on your lawn.â
Neighbour Jill Wood said: âWe were surprised the helicopter had been ordered off the sheikâs estate. The girl was unconscious and in a bad way.â
An air ambulance spokeswoman said: âWe landed on Sheik Al Maktoumâs estate and were prepared to cut the fence and guards did approach the crew.
âBut at that point we received a radio message saying that the patient wasnât as badly injured as we thought. The medical team had a discussion with the guards and a decision was taken to move the helicopter.â
