Get have two scenarios, where the person is unconscious or is asking you to remove it. If the person is unconscious as he said wait for paramedics. If they ask you to remove it follow the steps above. See how simple it is when you listen properly?
This is a brilliant short, man. My dads a firefighter, always taught me this. Really helpful someone else is sharing this info as one of the main things that need to get checked in first aid is whether or not the airways are clear. ❤
Except for when you said if someone ask you to remove their helmet then right after says if they're unconscious. And if someone asks you to that doesn't mean you should unless it restricts breathing
Yes this is the proper way to do it. I’m an AEMT and you should always leave the helmet on if they are breathing. If they aren’t breathing then removing the helmet is top priority. If the person is conscious and breathing, it’s still recommended to leave the helmet on even if they want to remove it if there’s a possibility of a spinal injury, which you should always assume there is
That's stupid. In Germany we remove always rhe Helmet. Doesn't matter if you are emt or normal civilian. Everybody who makes a driver license in Germany you must make a medical Training wich inquires cpr. Helping wounds. Stabiliz a Person ord doing what by shock and how to remove a Helmet when you are alone or 2 person. Then you can not hurt the Person more then it needed to do the damages he always has. And in the impossible thing that realy something happens you can't get sued.
@@18Chriss88but you do risk if the have a spinal injury making it worse tho, i am from the Netherlands also certified for first aid(which is not mandatory here) and me as well as my instructor whom was firefighter and emt for over 20 years maybe even more not sure both ride and forst thing he taught me never remove the helmet unless he is not conscious
@@diegojosephia but that only happens if you are brutal as hell to the Person. You must imagine the force it need to Do a spinal injury its so strong thru the accident so you cant hört more the Person.
Paramedic from Sweden here🙋🏻♂️ Excellent recommendation! I would ask that you open the visor if it’s closed, it’s a fast an easy way just to see the face and eyes (if tinted visor) and gets a better contact and assessment of the level of consciousness of the person and can even check airways even though not as good as without helmet. Once again good fact: f they are breathing leave it on. If they are not, remove it fast but as correct as possible (correct is like in this video). Keep the safety videos up (maybe a small first aid with focus on extreme bleedings?)😉
If they are somewhat mobile and unconscious, shouldn't you always remove the helmet and put them in a safe position? Them choking on their own puke seems a lot more likely to me than worsening a spinal injury, no?
@@brinkipinki Good question. If you find someone on the street unconscious (not from a high energy trauma) and they are breathing then yes move them to the side. Motorcycle accidents have a much higher risk of injuries to the spinal cord and neck and it is hard to move/roll them on the side alone and trying to keep the spinal somewhat stable. I would monitor them closely if they are laying on their back. If something changes (starts puking, grunts etc.) then you do what you have to like moving them to the side and removing the helmet. The most common reason for the airway to be obstructed is an unconscious persons own tongue (the muscles relaxes and it falls back) and that is no matter the cause of the unconsciousness even though there is more that can obstruct of course. Get a proper first aid course and you will feel more comfortable:)
@@18Chriss88why? What if EMT can’t arrive for a while and the persons dying and you need to help them? But you can’t because this guy and everyone else stopped making tutorials to help this kind of situation
First aid courses in Germany tell you to remove the helmet in case the rider is unconscious. Because you can't feel the breath or put them in safe position with the helmet on .
You don't need to feel their breath to check if they're breathing. It's not your job to put someone in a safe position. NEVER move someone qho got into a crash. The only exception is if that person is in immenent danger (vehicle fire or falling/incoming debris)
German firefighter here, he is right, you are supposed to remove an unconscious bikers helmet. If not you are not able to put him in a stable Position and you cant ensure that all vomit and other fluids that might come out of his mouth wont get into his Wind pipe
@@doodlecaboodle9298 if the patient doesnt react to your voice and actions (unconscious), you are tought to romove the helmet. Even if you can tell that he is breathing without removing it, doesnt change the fact that he soon might not be able to so cuz either the helmet hinders him or his own fluids (blood...) block his breathing path. Neck damage and similar are 2nd priority as long as he is unconscious. (Ofc you dont shake him around). The fact thst countries like the USA teaches not to remove the helmet, might be due to the fact that they dont have manditory first aid courses before getting a driving license
Yeah in German mandatory first aid class (you need to do to be allowed to take your driver's license test) they definitely tell you to always take the helmet off, the EMT who taught us told us that the chances of his neck being broken, but no spinal cord injury is extemely unlikely. so You are unlikely to snap his spine that has not already snapped
Thanks for posting this bro. As a first responder, we don’t get much training on helmet removal (if any). After I started riding, I realized how important it is to know how to properly remove the helmet from a patient while maintaining C-Spine precaution and this video hits all of the benchmarks.
This is very important for people to know. After accidents, you wont be able to see most injuries from a glance, for all you know their neck could be broken and those movements to remove a helmet can be what ultimately severs the spine and kills them! Always, always monitor the individual and wait for medical teams to arrive! 👍
I think the nurse who did my first aid training said it best. If they're dead or you think they might be dead, dont think about anything else other than helping them. They're already in the worst situation possible, you cant make them deader
I was taught in my EMT training to never remove the helmet unless absolutely necessary. They essentially told us what he told us, that there are doctors at the hospital way more qualified than you.
Thats only a thing in the US. Because people sue for everything. You cant hurt a Person more by taking the Helmet of than he had injuries thru the Accident. Unless you try to remove the Helmet with a Truck.
@18Chriss88 No. Moving the head while removing the helmet may aggravate spinal injury, which potentially may stop their breathing since the phrenic nerve which innervates the diaphragm arisesNo. Moving the head while removing the helmet may aggravate spinal injury, which potentially may stop their breathing since the phrenic nerve No. Moving the head while removing the helmet may aggravate spinal injury, which potentially may stop their breathing since the phrenic nerve that innervates the diaphragm arises from C3 - C5.

@@tyrenrobbthey have very similar eyes, eyebrows and noses. Not to mention a similar facial structure and very similar skin tone. That could be his son. How is that racist ?
I got taught to ALWAYS remove the helmet. Because you can do eventually more damage by leaving it on than removing it. Heat regulation and breathing are way more important to someone who is injured or in shock. And if you damage the spinal cord you either do something very, very wrong or it's already been compromised by the crash.
I mostly agree with you. I think if theres clearly spinal damage or there is significant damage to the helmet i would recommend to leave it on. And then ofc if said person is freaking out. Personally though id want my helmet off no matter what lol
I just did a training course today and they said the same thing. helmets make it hard to assess if they're breathing, put them into a stable position where vomit could drain out when they're unconscious so they don't aspirate and choke to death on it, etc. and all of those things take priority. they won't care about not having being paralyzed when they died with their helmet on. preserving life > everything else
You were taught wrong I definitely suggest not possibly further damaging anything if the wreck did damage the c-spine. Keeping it stable is a must. How he teaches to take the helmet off in this video however is a great way to keep it as stable as possible incase of the possibility of having to do cpr..I’m an emergency room nurse and have been in the field for over 10 years. Please don’t take their helmet off if they are breathing. And you do not need to see the head to tell if someone is breathing. Look at the chest. Is there a ride and fall? They are breathing. Put your ear up to their chest can you hear breath sounds? Heart beat? Please follow this man’s guide it’s very informative and helpful in an emergency situation
There are some brilliant helmets like my rpha 70 that has a emergency pad pulling system where you can rip the two main pads out and therefore take it off without damaging or pulling someones head like shown in the video. Thats why expensive helmets really are worth every penny
Firefighter here. Appreciate the short cuz its always good if ppl know how to help. We aint gonna be at an emergency instantly so this knowledge can save lives
The emt asked if it could be removed and he didn’t know how. I was conscious enough to talk him through how to do it and I remembered what this video had said so I did just that. Thank you Adobomoto
Emt and motorcyclist here. It’s important to note that the helmet is still tight wiggle up and down slightly instead of side to side if absolutely necessary.
FROM AN EMERGENCY NURSE THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING PEOPLE! this is one of my biggest pet peeves in MVA/MCA’s. Stabilizing that c-spine is priority as well as maintaining ABC’s! If you had to start cpr this would be necessary to be able to give proper breaths
As a rider and Ex EMT. Another tip. The person pulling the helmet can grab the chin strap and D-ring. Pull them away from the face while pulling the helmet. It will expand the helmet and slip off with less drag.
Student Medic here! For neck and spinal injuries it's best to always avoid moving the neck, to check if there's spinal injury try pinching a part of their body and if it responds even when they're unconscious it means they have no spinal injuries, but this does not necessarily mean that they don't have any other fractures. Make sure that their head is straight and as much as possible refrain them from moving or getting up even if they're conscious. If EMT arrives a C collar may be placed to immobilize one's neck to avoid neck movements that may worsen their condition. In rare scenarios when someone has an injury let's say an entry wound from debris You shouldn't take it out, instead call 911 or emergency services before checking the wound not treating it. Perform CPR when required. You can check someone's pulse with their wrist. The groin area(when you are a male And your patient is a male) Or the thighs. Cpr is performed in constant pumps, not too fast not to slow to let the oxygen properly circulate to the brain to prevent the brain from dying and getting irreversible brain damage. Hey there, I'm glad you reached the end of my comment. Eitherway I'd be glad if some of you would point out the things I may have missed! I'm still a new medic and all
Paramedic here, if the person is not conscious or breathing. Check a pulse to see if you need to start chest compressions; it’ll be more beneficial for the person than trying to take off their helmet.
this is VERY important info when i was a lifeguard we had completely different procedures for when it was a potential spinal cord injury.. (think someone diving in shallow water) it was a lot harder but very needed, it consisted of holding the victims head /neck completely still while using only your legs to swim them to safety..
Just seen a bad motorcycle accident the other day. The guy had crashed and ended up on the other side of an electrical fence on some farmland. This advice could have been very helpful for the people that we're trying to help this guy cuz dear God I thought this man was going to end up paralyzed from these people.
As a person who has taken a National Lifeguard course, this is how you're taught to handle suspected spinal victims, with as little movement as possible.
If they ask you to remove their helmet while they’re unconscious, what you need is an exorcist
I was thinking the same thing
He did say that if the person is unconscious, you would want to wait for the paramedics to arrive to remove the helmet
Tells person it hard to breath with the helmet then passes out

For neck and spinal injuries it's best to always avoid moving the neck, to check if there's spinal injury try pinching a part of their body and if it responds even when they're unconscious it means they have no spinal injuries, but this does not necessarily mean that they don't have any other fractures.

In rare scenarios when someone has an injury let's say an entry wound from debris
You shouldn't take it out, instead call 911 or emergency services before checking the wound not treating it.
Perform CPR when required.
You can check someone's pulse with their wrist. The groin area(when you are a male And your patient is a male)
Or the thighs.
Cpr is performed in constant pumps, not too fast not to slow to let the oxygen properly circulate to the brain to prevent the brain from dying and getting irreversible brain damage.

This advice could have been very helpful for the people that we're trying to help this guy cuz dear God I thought this man was going to end up paralyzed from these people.
"Remove the helmet if the person is asking you to"
"So here's what you do if they're unconscious..."
This reminded me to do my erm vocabulary thanks bro
As a person who has taken a National Lifeguard course, this is how you're taught to handle suspected spinal victims, with as little movement as possible.
Thanks for spreading the word mate ❤
