Tell victim not to move!

Note: Spinal injuries can be difficult to evaluate. Some indications are pain over neck or spine, inability to move arms or legs, tingling or numbness in arms or legs, inability to wiggle toes or to feel your touch on soles of feet.

Do not move victim unless victim is in a dangerous place.
