You should NEVER transport somebody with a spinal injury unless you are a professional or the victim is in immediate danger. This is because anymovementto the spinal chord may causeparalysis.
If transportation isabsolutelynecessary, one person must support the head so it does not move. Other people must gently lift the stretcher and move it.
