A2Difficulty 3/5

An untrained bystander finds a crashed motorcyclist who is conscious and breathing normally, with no immediate danger at the scene. Should the bystander remove the helmet?

Correct answer

No; call 112 and avoid removing the helmet in this situation.

No. In this situation, do not remove the helmet or unnecessarily move the head or neck. Protect the scene without endangering yourself, call 112 and follow emergency-service instructions. Being conscious does not justify helmet removal. If the casualty’s condition changes, immediately tell 112 for guidance; do not improvise a removal technique.
