Belgium
1. Falls
Falls can cause injuries ranging from minor bruises and cuts to fractures, head injuries or spinal trauma. A person may fall after a collision, while getting out of a vehicle, from a bicycle or motorcycle, or because of slippery conditions. After a serious fall, avoid unnecessary movement if a head, neck or back injury is possible, unless the person is in immediate danger. Check the person’s condition, call emergency services when necessary and provide first aid within your abilities.
