What to do
- Stay still and get help. Keep your neck comfortable. Do not turn it to test movement.
- Report tingling, weakness or breathing difficulty.
- Give location and injury. No phone/signal: ask another person to call safely. Do not wait for a collar or equipment before seeking help.
- Do not get up or walk. Vomiting or trouble breathing: tell helper now. Keeping breathing takes priority.
What to avoid
- Do not force a position or improvise a neck collar.
