A student suffered an ankle/ foot injury on the training hill of the south side. Given the very high level of student activity, the likelihood of this type of injury is very high.
Instructors are reminded to encourage good footwear, use radios, choose good conditions and qualify students at each stage of the progression. Finally, when this sort of thing does happen, a breakable ice pack, some ibuprofen, a splint and an ace bandage become the minimum necessary equipment. Every instructor and most pilots should have this sort of first aid kit.
