After making the scene safe, what should a bystander without medical training prioritise when assessing and seeking help for an injured motorcyclist wearing a helmet?

Correct answer

Check responsiveness, call 112 and assess normal breathing following their instructions.

Check whether the person responds and call 112; assess whether breathing is normal while following the operator’s instructions. If the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally, start the instructed resuscitation without delaying it to search for a pulse. Avoid unnecessary neck movement. Do not remove the helmet merely to check a pulse; if it obstructs a vital airway intervention, follow emergency instructions. Airway and breathing take priority over avoiding all movement.
