SAFE HELMET REMOVAL Protect the Spine u2022 Work as a Team

Transcript

In a motorcycle accident with possible neck injury, never remove the helmet alone. One rescuer stabilizes the head and neck while the other carefully unfastens the chin strap. Support the head fully as the helmet is gently slid off. Immediately apply a cervical collar to keep the spine in neutral alignment. Always work as a team, keep your own back straight, and use your legs when moving the patient. These steps protect the injured person and prevent further damage.
