Correct answer
No; call 112 and follow assistance instructions.
No, as a general rule. Unskilled removal can worsen neck injuries; call 112, follow their instructions and leave removal to trained personnel. The question specifies normal breathing and no immediate danger. If the casualty is unresponsive or not breathing normally, tell 112 immediately and follow assistance instructions: do not interpret the general rule as prohibiting life-saving help.
