Yes mam! As best as possible anyway, it's easier said than done. :\ The way I was trained, there are only 2 exceptions to the "immobilize" rule. Breathing and major blood loss. ie... do what you need to do to keep the person breathing or from bleeding out in minutes. For example, it's well known to NOT remove the rider's helmet, but if they can't breath... then yea, cut/undo the strap (whatever is faster) and remove it so you can help them breath again. And be aware... there is a difference between breathing discomfort and "can't" breath.
