I think what you do is you SLOWLY turn them over and then SLOWLY put your arms under them and lift them bring them to the nearest car or (if you are in war or anything like that) bring them to the nearest safe place. Get them medical attention immediately after that and hope for the best to come to them.

Is the firefighters carry and the pack strap carry the same thing?
There are some slight differences between the two and their main intention. For example, the fireman's carry is one of the easiest ways to carry an unconscious person, while the pack strap carry is made for moving heavy casualty patients longer distances.Here are the steps for each one:Fireman's Carry1 .Place the casualty face down. Face the casualty, and kneel on one knee at the casualty's head. Pass your hands under the armpits; then slide your hands down the sides and grasp them across the back.2. Raise the casualty to his knees. Take a better hold across the casualty's back.3. Raise the casualty to a standing position and place your right leg between the casualty's legs. Grasp the right wrist in your left hand and swing the arm around the back of your neck and down your left shoulder.4. Stoop quickly and pull the casualty across your shoulders and, at the same time, put your right arm between the casualty's legs.5. Grasp the casualty's right wrist with your right hand and straighten up. Do not attempt if the casualty has an injured arm, leg, ribs, neck, or back!Pack-Strap Carry1. Place the casualty face up.2. Lie down on your side along the casualty's uninjured or less injured side. Your shoulder should be next to the casualty's armpit.3. Pull the casualty's far leg over your own, holding it there if necessary.4. Grasp the casualty's far arm at the wrist and bring it over your upper shoulder as you roll and pull the casualty onto your back.5. Rise up on your knees, using your free arm for balance and support. Hold both of the casualty's wrists close against your chest with your other hand.6. Lean forward as you rise to your feet, and keep both of your shoulders under the casualty's armpits.Do not attempt if the casualty has an injured arm, ribs, neck, or back!
