Correct answer
- CNo, como norma general.No, as a general rule.
Explanation
As a general rule, you should not remove the helmet of an injured motorcyclist, because this could make a neck (cervical spine) injury worse. It is removed only if absolutely necessary, for example because the person is not breathing, and by someone who knows the technique; it is not an absolute ban.
