Question 6244

If you witness a traffic accident and are going to help while waiting for emergency services to arrive, must you move the injured?

  1. Yes, when they cannot get out of the vehicle on their own.
  2. No, under no circumstances.
  3. No, unless it is essential for their safety.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, unless it is essential for their safety.

No, unless it is essential for their safety, for example because of a fire or the risk of being run over. Otherwise, leave the injured person where they are, even if they cannot get out of the vehicle on their own, because moving them could damage their spine.
