DDifficulty 3/5

In a traffic accident, is it correct to make an injured person walk to check their condition?

Correct answer

No.

No. Do not make an injured person walk to check whether they are well: this may worsen injuries. Make the scene safe without exposing yourself and call 112. Avoid unnecessary movement, especially with suspected neck or back injury. If there is immediate danger or action is essential for the airway or resuscitation, follow 112 instructions and minimise movement. Breathing difficulty requires urgent help, not a walking test.
