^thisunless a person's life is in immediate danger do not move them. especially if you know they've had an accident that could have caused a spinal injury/haven't seen what happened to them.
i work as a lifeguard, and whilst at another pool got chatting to one of their supervisors about spinal techniques, the golden rule is keep their neck still in order to prevent paralysis, but if that's not possible preserving life is the most important thing
