Should the helmet be removed from a motorcyclist involved in an accident?

Correct answer

No, as a general rule.

As a general rule, do not remove the helmet: incorrect handling can worsen head, neck or spinal injuries. Call 112 and follow instructions. If the casualty is not breathing normally, airway care and resuscitation take priority; do not wait without acting solely because a helmet is worn. Removal may be necessary to provide that care, following emergency instructions or by trained responders.
