As someone who frequently falls and needs help to get up, I know some amount of what people learn in “lifting and handling” training; it’s terrifying how many people will attempt to help me up in a way that’s dangerous as hell (I know someone who had their shoulder dislocated by a supposedly trained person doing a “drag lift”, which is something you should never do). I don’t expect regular people to know this stuff, but I do expect people whose job involves first aid and stuff to at the very least know “I should not attempt this unless I have lifting and handling training”. It’s horrifying to see such ignorance.
However, this is nothing compared to what you describe — the difficulty and danger involved in restraining people (as opposed to helping a cooperative person up) is a wholly different challenge. All the more reason why proper technique is essential.
this sounds like exactly what we should make sure people learn in school, alongside CPR and identifying a stroke and such
I have struggled with remembering prone my whole life and now, after a minute of laughter, I’ll never forget it again.
