tbh, dont do it, dont open urself up to acusations of blame, leave it to the proffesionals, paramedics and doctors.
My opinion anyway. ____________________ Current : 06 Zx10r, 07 Wr450f SM, 74 850 norton commando, 63 bsa b40, 1962 Triton 650, 67 Triumph Tr6r, 1955 Triton 750, 1978 TY250E. |

Getting one of these and training how to use it is probably the best idea
Hats Off |

Leave it to the medics. I'd be pretty pissed off if some good samaritan paralysed me by trying to be helpful. ____________________ Northern Irish? www.nibikers.com |

as all the above have said don't remove it, major possibility that it will cause more harm than good.
look on https://www.performancemotorcycleparts.com/ on the visor sticker section there is a sticker that says
"IN CASE OF ACCIDENT PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE MY HELMET"
A bloody good idea in my eyes.

Hi,
In the original link it also indicated while doing this you have the collar and things available to put on straight away.
Unless the patient is definitely going to die then I recommend you dont even try, wait for the professionals.
I think FreshAl has the right Idea.
St Johns to a first aid for motorcyclists course which inclueds using the hatsoff kit.

tgabber was going but it got rescheduled I dont know if he has done it yet.
I was thinking of doing something midlands way.
Regards

I think its a good idea. thanks for the file mate
It never hurts to know. Like he said if the rider is unconcious, the airway is compromised. If it was a friend I would like to help them.
What if the ambulance is 30mins + away ____________________ ◙◙► K6 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 1000 ◄◙◙◙◙► K5 GSXR 600 ◄◙◙◙◙► 96 RF600r ◄◙◙

I'm with St John's. On their first aid courses you are advised to only remove the helmet if there is a risk of death. The same goes for moving them. A first aiders primary job is to preserve life. ____________________ Like a Yorkie - I'm not for the girls |

Hi,
dmamon, I think your profession gives you a great advantage but for most people I think it need to be more considered action.
Ie you talk about protecting the airway but if they were not actually having a visible problem I would not have a clue, I certainly would not try an intubation unless I was really convinced they were going to die before help arrived.
I mean its one thing watching them with a pen knife and bic pen on TV but the idea of doing it
I think I need some training - On the plus side most of daily bikes have a first aid kit now with those foil blankets for the less severe injury.
Regards
