1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: A new Plymouth teenager or Pariston North teenager has died

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: after playing a run at straight style tackle game with

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: his friends. Nineteen year old Ryan Satarthwait suffered major head

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: draw mobs taken to hospital. He died there overnight. Ross

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Grantham is the Monowitsu area commander and with us now, Hey,

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Ross Hell, Heather exactly what happened.

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: Yes, a group of mates have got together and they've

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: decided that they all participate in this tackle game. It

9
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: wasn't an organized event, it was something just to social

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: between the mates and tragically, this young man has suffered

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: a horrible injury which has taken his life.

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: Banged us head into what.

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: So he hasn't banged his head as I understand it.

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: He hasn't banged us head into anything as his friend

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: has tackled him. It's the action office his head has

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: caused the injury, so he hasn't banged U hidden that

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 2: just that snapping of that when you think about it,

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: is that when you think about it, is the gable

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: risk young people take when they participate in these types

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: of games.

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: ROSSI, you're saying, it's just the whiplash action of being

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: tackled has caused it.

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor here, so I can't comment on that.

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: What I can say is that he hasn't collided anything

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: with anything solid. It's the movement of his head.

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Any charges here, I mean, I'm loath to raise that

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: because it is just mad.

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. This is a devastating Trevor tragedy for the

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: family of young Ryan and for his colleagues and his mates.

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: We are only involved because we're investigating on behalf of

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: the corner. There's no criminal element to this at all.

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, what do we do to discourage I mean,

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: like Ross, We've been talking about this for weeks now

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: and how stupid this thing is and how nobody should

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: be doing it, and yet it's claim to life. So

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: what do we do to discourage kids from doing this?

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Oh? Here? If I had that answer, I'd be able

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: to save a whole of young men's lives, not only

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: in this type of thing, but in driving cars. And

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: that sadly, our young men don't tend to make good decisions.

41
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: We can keep talking about it, trying to educate them,

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: use this tragic event of young Ryan's as an example

43
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: to you mean, to let you think about what you

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: look at on social media. There's a whole lot of

45
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: dangerous things that people purport to be genuine and to

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: be fun and they're not, and they you just have

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: to be very careful when you're making the choices about

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 2: what you're going to do.

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, Ross, thank you as always appreciate you time.

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,079
