Correct answer
Try to get up before coming to a complete stop.
Trying to get up before completely stopping can cause another fall. While sliding, try not to cling to the motorcycle or make abrupt movements; no technique guarantees preventing injury. Once stopped, assess possible injuries and the surrounding danger: do not get up or move unnecessarily if a serious injury is suspected, especially to the head, neck or back. Seek help through 112; moving an injured person from immediate danger should be limited to what is essential.
