Correct answer

  • CNo.No.
Explanation

As a general rule, an injured person's helmet should not be removed. When it is necessary in order to deal with the injured person's breathing, the helmet is removed with a specific technique that keeps the neck (cervical spine) still, and this technique should only be used if you know it well.
