Then you have shitty training down there. My first responder training for electrical workers even had training for fall/collision injuries that included not removing equipment like masks/helmets/anything requiring moving of an individual that could further a spinal injury unless necessary for other life saving options. Risking the spine can be done if necessary to save the life.
