in spite of what dan bernstein might say, you cannot swallow your own tongue. bashing out the guy's teeth was unnecessary. just lay the guy on his side to keep his airway open and save him a pricey dental bill. sounds like schneider, being uninformed, overreacted. When a person is having a seizure, you cannot lay them on their side. I've never heard of someone choking on their tongue, so I cannot say whether it is possible or not, but I do know it is highly unsafe and somewhat unlikely to try to turn a person having a seizure on their side. Unless they're vomiting there shouldn't be a problem keeping their airway open. Herm Schneider is a gluttonous slob. Regardless of this, Herm Schneider may or may not be a competent trainer. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.
