Simple/closed fracture
Open/compound fracture
Concussion
Dehydration
Exhaustion
Cuts & Grazes
Strains

Tears
GCSE PE
Blisters
Skin repeatedly rubs
against another surface
and causes friction
A tear occurs between the
upper layers of the skin,
the outer surface remains
unbroken, fluid seeps in to
the space immediately
beneath it.
Cover with a protective

hard surface.
Same as simple/closed
fracture but skin is
damaged too. Bone may
be sticking out of skin
Dial 999
Do not move casualty
Support limb
Sling – arm
Splint-leg (if a first aider)
GCSE PE
Concussion
A severe blow to the head
Blow to the head causes
jarring of the brain against
the inside of the skull and a
