The
2021 AED Summit was held at the Mirage Casino and Resort in Las Vegas from May 24 to 26.
The most obvious news at this year s event was that the rules have changed and attendees could see each other s faces with the relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions. For most in attendance, the last time they have been able to attend a public event had been just a little more than one year ago, at ConExpo in Las Vegas.
The big buzz at this year s AED event was the dwindling inventories and lack of availability of the industry s lifeblood equipment and dealing with the stark reality that this situation is not going to change anytime in the near future. Equipment distributors are being faced with difficult decisions on how to manage their current inventories of new equipment and rental fleets.
A 35-YEAR-OLD man with no underlying health conditions suffered a cardiac arrest on a short distanced bike ride. Steve Paley from Didcot, went out for a bike ride with his fiancé, Stacey Pritchard, 30, on New Year’s Eve. However, after cycling for a short distance he began to feel unwell before suddenly collapsing. The couple, who had been on a health kick for most of 2020 exercised regularly and ate healthily, and had lost an impressive four and a half stone between them. They set off on a bike ride to Blewbury and planned to see the New Year in at home.
