Correct answer

  • CNo, en general.No, in general.
Explanation

As a general rule you should not take the helmet off an injured motorcyclist, because moving the head can make possible neck injuries worse. It is only removed if it prevents breathing or the person needs resuscitation, and always by someone who knows the technique. Never to give them something to drink.
