AB  - The  helmeted  person  who  becomes  injured  presents  unique  challenges  to  prehospital  healthcare  providers,  athletic  trainers,  and  Emergency  Department  personnel  in  providing  initial  stabilization  and  management.  Greater  numbers  of  people  are  wearing  helmets  due  to  the  increasing  public  awareness  for  the  prevention  of  head  injuries  associated  with  recreational  and  athletic  activities.  This  practice  will  limit  the  most  severe  outcomes  from  head  trauma.  However,  the  helmeted  patient  is  not  immune  from  life-threatening  head  and  neck  injuries.  Secondary  injury  due  to  improper  helmet  removal  can  adversely  affect  patient  outcome.1
