Kipp A Kinsley

Kipp Kinsley was a gifted runner and triathlete. Kipp was a quiet, dedicated athlete who loved being one of the elite athletes who competed nationally in triathlons. Kipp was recognized as an “Elite Athlete” by USA Triathlon, and was an Ironman “All World Athlete”. Kipp died of Sudden Cardiac Arrest on August 26th 2018, one day after winning Yankton’s Best Tri, and just weeks before he would embark on a career as a professional triathlete.

Kipp cared genuinely about other people. After completing a degree in Education and Human Sciences at South Dakota State University, Kipp worked with people of all ages as a certified Exercise Physiologist at Avera Sacred Heart Wellness Center. He was passionate and committed to helping people of all ages meet their personal health and wellness goals. He also spent time with teams, coaches and individuals to promote athletic performance.

What is Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the abrupt loss of heart function, which can lead to death if not treated immediately. It occurs without warning and can’t be easily detected. In the event of sudden cardiac arrest, bystanders must act quickly and have the proper tools available. Every minute counts in these situations. Everyone should understand basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and have an automatic external defibrillator (AED) within 3 minutes walking distance from the site of a SCA event. BeKipp Foundation has provided AEDs to schools, athletic clubs and community organizations to better prepare them for sudden cardiac arrest. We encourage coaches, trainers and athletes to prepare for SCA - and carry an AED with you to all practices and events!

THE "GOLDEN TEN MINUTES"

Emergency Medical Personnel use the term " The Golden Hour" in trauma cases. It refers to evidence showing that a trauma victim who receives a high level medical of care (rapid evacuation, transfusions, surgical intervention) in the first hour after trauma is much more likely to survive. In the event of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, the time window in compressed to just 10 minutes because each minute a victim does not receive CPR and AED is not utilized the chance of survival drops 10%. Ten minutes is typically not enough time for EMS to respond. This is why it is important for everyone to prepare for sudden cardiac arrest by being CPR trained and aware of AED locations where people live, gather, and play.

If you see there is no AEDs in a location where people gather (job sites, restaurants, theaters, sports complexes), live (college dorms, apartment buildings) and play (team training facilities, gyms, pools) YOU should have a conversation with the people who are responsible for that facilityabout getting an AED.
