No; incorrect removal can worsen injuries.
No. Incorrect removal can worsen neck or spinal injuries. Make the scene safe without exposing yourself to danger, call 112 and follow their instructions; do not remove the helmet or move the casualty on your own initiative in this scenario. If normal breathing stops or immediate danger develops, tell 112 and follow emergency instructions. Those changes require a different response and are not included in the question.
