An injured motorcyclist may have multiple injuries. We must not move them or remove the helmet, as this could make head and neck injuries worse. We keep the victim warm because after an impact the body may go into shock and lose heat quickly. Keeping them warm stops them getting cold, stops the shock getting worse and helps keep their vital signs more stable until medical help arrives.
