What does a face down shallow water spinal rescue look like
Grab triceps and squeeze against head, rotate person onto back, then walk them slowly over to backboard. Then switch to an overhand grip before placing them on the backboard. The backboard guard stabilizes the arms against the head while the rescuer uses the chest straps. The rescuing guard takes over stabilization by holding the chin and the bottom of the board; meanwhile, the assisting guard places both head blocks at the same time, then Velcroes the head strap over both blocks after lowering arms to chest.
