When it is necessary to move an injured person in an accident, it is crucial to **keep the head-neck-torso axis completely straight**. This is because any sudden or incorrect movement can worsen injuries, especially if there is spinal damage.

- **Move the injured person as a block**: If it is essential to move the injured person, it should be done by three coordinated people to ensure that the head, neck, and torso remain aligned. This prevents movements that could cause further damage.

- **Neck protection**: It is important to protect the neck from sudden movements. Clothing, sand, or hands can be used to stabilize the neck, but nothing should ever be placed underneath it.

- **Do not administer medication**: Medications, food, or drinks should not be given to the injured, as this could complicate their condition.

- **Wait for emergency services**: Whenever possible, it is better to wait for emergency services to transport the injured person, unless their life is in immediate danger.

By following these guidelines, the risk of worsening the injuries during the transfer is minimized.
