(4) Upon your command, have the assistants gently roll the casualty onto
his back. All members must work in unison and keep the casualty's spine in alignment.
As the assistants turn the casualty, turn his head so his face is up when the turning is
completed.
b. Do not attempt to turn the casualty by yourself unless you must risk injury to
the casualty in order to save his life (administer rescue breathing to a nonbreathing
casualty, remove the casualty from a burning building, and so forth). If you must turn
the casualty and no other help is available, keep the casualty's head, neck, and back
in alignment as much as possible when turning the casualty.
