If you fail, does it announce it over the airport loudspeakers so that everyone can laugh at you?

Hmmm... I think I'm gonna have to think about that one for a bit.
[Apparently there are a few people downvoting my comment because they don't understand that I'm talking about "waking up dead".]

Yep, broken ribs and you have to not worry about accidentally brushing a woman’s breasts while performing cpr either. I’m sure she’d rather be alive. This woman would

Can the machine call 911 on you for touching it without its permission?

Doesn't cpr only work like 1/10 times?
I wonder what other - more successful - things we could teach people instead.

You gotta wonder about the person who learned CPR at a kiosk tough.
"That tickles, is that real CPR or kiosk CPR?"

I don’t know…even if that were a real stat I’d say 1/10 odds to literally restart someone’s heart are worth taking. Worst case scenario they’re already dead.
Edit: stat not star

For a second I thought that was a device that you would like, drop a choking person in and it would perform CPR on them.

I prefer Another One Bites The Dust. Adds some irony to successful CPR and if it fails then you already started the funeral Playlist.

Indianapolis haha. Every time I see it I think how many people actually try it.

I just learned this from my 9 yo niece!
I was watching my nieces while their parents were out- I was 'forcing' them to listen to my music.

Me: pushing on the trainer LCD screen: Harder Me: Let me massage the concrete! LCD screen: Correct Me: Damn! I push like this for 2 minutes?! Instructor: Yup! Keep going!
I then understood why they take turns in the ER. You're caving in their chest and doing it for minutes on end.

It's not enough to just touch them anymore due to accidental false starts, now you gotta give them a series of tweaks to get the simulation going

I know this will get buried, but I had a layover at an airport that had one of these. I thought....eh, sure, why not. It was loud, and embarrassing in a super busy concourse, but super memorable at drilling in the cadence and strength needed to do chest compressions. It's an experience you might easily chalk up to a waste of time, or something only an outgoing person might do to burn a few minutes.
Except a few years later one of my best friends heart stopped right in front of me. I immediately rolled him over, started compressions, and restarted his heart in about 75 seconds. It was like clockwork, just like I remembered on the machine "ahhh, ahh, ah, ah, staying alive, staying alive". I kept repeating it in my head to keep the beat. Staying alive, staying alive. And he did stay alive. His heart restarted on it's own, he went to the hospital, and had zero long term side effects.
So if you guys see one of these things, go ahead and use it. It might save your best friends life.

What airport is this at? I saw one of these this past December in the Orlando airport and had planned to try it out when we flew back home. Then Southwest Airlines had their meltdown and we flew out of Tampa for our return flight instead, so I never got to use it.

CPR, and first aid in general, is the one thing you train for hoping it's going to be a massive waste of time, but you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you didn't and it wasn't
