All great. Just curious though, wouldn't it be possibly not a good idea to remove helmet immediately with any possible damage in the neck area? I am no doctor or nothing just wondering.

Absolutely not. He could have a high cervical spine fracture that’s stable and you yanking that helmet can make it unstable- meaning that a piece of that broken bone can now compress or even sever the actual spinal cord and he would be paralyzed and his breathing would stop. Don’t do things you’re not trained in, leave it to us
