DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, the helmet of an injured motorcyclist should not be removed due to the risk of a spinal injury. These injuries are especially frequent and serious in motorcycle accidents. In some exceptional cases it may be necessary to remove it, for example, to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers. However, this should only be done if you have the necessary technical knowledge to avoid causing further damage.
