After a traffic accident, is it appropriate to make an injured person walk in order to check how serious their condition is?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

First-aid protocols (PAS conduct: protect, alert, help) establish as a basic principle that the injured in a traffic accident must not be moved unless it is strictly essential because of imminent danger (fire, being run over, etc.) or to carry out life-support maneuvers. Making an accident victim walk can critically worsen hidden injuries, such as spinal trauma, bone fractures or internal bleeding. Therefore, it is not appropriate to do so: neither to check leg mobility, nor when the person has breathing difficulties or slight dizziness, which are reasons to call 112 and not to move them. Both ideas are wrong and dangerous.
