Last night's episode Aman was showed to lift Aadarsh's head up and then he also took of the helmet.
This is a big mistake and an absolute NO in RTA accidents.
Where a body is involved in RTA, and is wearing a helmet it could be the difference between life and death. You do not move anyone unless they are in immediate danger or require first aid. You can lift the visor of a helmet wearer, but do not remove the helmet unless the person is vomiting or has stopped breathing. When removing a helmet, have one person support the head and neck while another gently lifts the helmet off from the back. You can also support broken limbs, and be careful not to twist the neck or back, if someone has to be moved.
The helmet protects the fragile brain and it's fluid. If removed at the scene, without any medical assistence, it could lead to swelling, brain damage and death. As a first Aider, even I would not dare to do this if I come across a scene of an accident. The repercussion is huge.
So I was absolutely shocked to see Aman doing this, he didn't even think twice. This should have been properly researched by the writers of the show, even if done for creative licence (because of a future story track) there should have been a disclaimer saying never, ever do this in real life because it was a great opportunity to educate the masses.
I understand the show is fiction and therefore creative licence is often taken, and I understand this more than others, but when certain tracks are shown the onus of responsibility lies with the writers to ensure the right message is given at all times. Creative licence does not mean, responsibility goes out the window. In fact as a major show, certain 'education' of the masses could be done at the same time. This accident was one of them, even simply showing that Aman at the accident going through the right procedure could have gone a long way to ensuring perhaps a life being saved out in real life.

Absolutely correct, CVs should have researched the correct procedures in dealing with an accident such as these, which are practiced so religiously in the western or say developed world one bad move by the medics could harm the injured more resulting in lawsuits, I understand The third world or in the developing countries such as India the awareness is there but not practiced. here people are even afraid to call police and medics fearing that their involvements could bring them to the witness stand or retaliation later on. That was what I saw in yesterdays episode, When Aman took the helmet off and rolled him over I was like what is he doing, But then I realized its a fiction as you have aptly explained, 👏

Hi Gees,😊
I probably should have ignored it as this is a fictional show but would it have hurt to show Aman or someone else about to take of the helmet and then another person saying 'don'' because of.....'??
My reaction was pretty strong, hence this little topic....if one person knows, it's one less not knowing.

Sam,
People knowing simple things can prevent the loss of life. Things like how to treat burns, dehydration and etc. So a tv show, which is airing an accident, it would have been so nice to see and educated person like Aman actually stopping someone from moving A or taking his helmet off or even someone stopping him and saying why....viewers actually pick alot of things up from shows like this......even a disclaimer at the start would have been nice.....this is even more important in countries like India, where the roads are congested and people to take risks with their safety....

KC,
Yes the theory test has Qs on RTA and on some basic first Aid, unless they changed them now.😊
