You arrive at a serious motorcycle crash. The scene has been made safe. What’s the first thing you should check on an unconscious rider?

Explanation: At a road traffic incident, there's a real danger of further collisions and fire, so only approach if it's safe. Get someone to call the emergency services and, if there's an injured casualty, first check if they're breathing. If they're not breathing, you may need to give chest compressions until the ambulance arrives.
