BDifficulty 2/5

You find an injured motorcyclist who is conscious, breathing normally and not in immediate danger. Should you remove their helmet simply because a crash occurred?

Correct answer

No.

No. Make the area safe without putting yourself at risk, call 112 and follow instructions. Avoid unnecessary head and neck movement and do not remove the helmet routinely. If the condition changes and access to the airway or resuscitation becomes essential, breathing and life-saving care take priority; act according to dispatcher instructions and your capabilities. Do not delay life-saving help because of an absolute prohibition on helmet removal.
