Great point! Someone jumped in the back of my car when I got t-boned and held my head still for me. Had he tried to move me, he could have worsened the broken pelvis and possibly fractured my neck.
And whatever you do
Never, Ever remove the helmet of a downed motorcyclist. Don't touch him/her unless they can move unassisted. Numerous Good Samaritans have paralyzed a rider by removing a helmet when the neck was fractured. Cagers frequently don't realize how supremely dangerous it can be for the rider
after he goes down.
If you're a biker, put the "In case of emergency, DO NOT REMOVE HELMET" sticker above your visor and wear dog tags with your emergency contact info, blood type, etc. The emergency people may not be able to get to a wallet quickly if it's buried in the pockets of gear or ripped out of a back pocket of pants 200 feet behind the bike.
