1:34 Als known as; how to break your back, because that guy was definitely moving with her. Sure, that trick works partially, but not if the person is unconscious, which is when you'd do that. For anyone wondering; You hook your arms across their chest, underneath their arms and you drag them to safety, walking backwards. Watch your back and work with your legs. Don't move a person if they're not in danger, especially if neckdamage has (possibly) occurred.

@chloep9321 Yes, but the chance is bigger that you might damage their body that way, so if possible (a.k.a. if there's no immediate danger) you leave them ór you make half-a-circle while you drag them by their upper body (as I mentioned before.)

@hulkderboss91 Exactly. The person needs to move with you. I've tried lifting an unconscious/sleeping-drunk person's leg once, that needed to be on the bed and had fallen off. I couldn't properly do that. And I'm not weak. People are heavy.

@chloep9321 No, that's true, in immediate danger, anything's fine. :) But in the case of an accident in the woods, for example and you want to drag him away, so you can flag a car down to help, you'd likely drag them by their chest, your arms under the armpits. Especially because it's easier to carry them that way. :) And I've been told that, if the firefighters are nearby (or anyone) you should leave them and call for help instead. Or drag them to a recognizable spot and let them know there's someone inside, next to the pole in the canteen. And that if someone's really in danger, but the only solution would be to put yourself in danger too, that "the firefighters prefer it if you didn't do anything, because one victim is better than a potential two." I've never had to drag someone far away from danger, but I've carried someone when they (probably) had a drug-overdose or weird drug-mix and were seizuring. And then they jumped up, all of the sudden and were standing in front of the canal and then slowly tipped forward. Someone saw it, pushed him back and I 'caught' him, on my arms, and dragged him backwards, to a chair, where he woke up again and then the ambulance came. He was still heavy though, even carrying him that way.
