The basic action in case of an accident will be that indicated by the PAS rule (Protect, Alert, Help). Remembering this acronym will help us act correctly, especially considering that the first moments of an accident are usually moments of great tension and crucial for the health of the injured.
1. Protect: first we will adopt protection measures, both for ourselves and for the rest of the road users.
2. Alert: once we have taken the above protection measures, we will alert the emergency services by calling 112, which is a free phone number that can be called even if we have no coverage, and we will follow the instructions they give us.
3. Help: the last step of the PAS rule will be to help the victims. If we have no first aid knowledge and there is no danger for the injured, the best thing is not to handle them, especially to avoid possible spinal injuries. If there is danger for the injured, we will move them keeping the head and neck always straight. As a general rule we will never remove the helmet from an accident victim.
