Correct answer
No; call 112 and avoid unnecessary removal.
No. Do not remove the helmet for comfort or move the casualty unnecessarily; protect the scene without exposing yourself and call 112. Helmet removal can worsen injuries and requires appropriate technique. If the casualty becomes unresponsive or is not breathing normally, tell 112 immediately and follow assistance and resuscitation instructions: protecting the airway and life may require other action. This scenario does not justify an absolute prohibition that prevents help in a life-threatening emergency.
