1-9 Check for Fractures, cont.

Unless there is immediate life-threatening danger, do not move a casualty who has a suspected back or neck injury. Immobilize any casualty suspected of having a neck or back injury by doing the following:

- Tell the casualty not to move.
- If the back is suspected, place padding under the natural arch of the casualty's back.

If a neck injury is suspected, place a roll of cloth under the casualty's neck and put boots (filled with dirt, sand, etc.) or rocks on both sides of the head.
