Heres a graphic reminder of problems with head injury crashes:

The first thing
YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER DO is remove a riders helmet!!!!!!
LEAVE IT FOR THE EMT OR DOCTOR!!!!!!!
IF a rider is having a seizure such as the one in this video, just keep them secure so they dont hurt themselves any further. Holding them steady laying on their side is better than trying to make them lay on their back. The seizure activity should subside within a few minutes, but really there is nothing more you can do for them except keeping them from thrashing around and causing more injuries to themselves. Let the EMT administer whatever meds are required. Dont hesitate to CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
A seizure of this type is caused when the brain is hit so hard you black out and your body parts dont know what to do because there are no signals coming from the brain. Until the brain regains control and sends the impulses to the extremities, you will see this reaction in the body.
Wade, you need to see a Neurologist and tell him exactly what happened. Seizure activity is a serious matter and can manifest itself into bigger things later in life. I can tell you this from experience. I had a bike accident at 19 with the same kinda results and I have been on the meds all my life now.
