When using the webbing drag, the victim's head is supported by:

• A. The victim's arms
• B. Webbing under the head
• C. The victim's hands
• D. A roll of blanket

Answer: (A)

The head is kept in a natural, neutral position by letting the victim’s own arms provide the head support during a webbing drag. This setup uses the webbing to secure the torso while the head rests and remains cushioned by the arms, helping to maintain spinal alignment and keep the airway clear as you move the person. Using the arms as support avoids adding bulk or altering head position with under-head supports like webbing under the head or a rolled blanket, which can shift alignment or obstruct the airway. The goal is to move the casualty while keeping the head steady and the spine in line, and the victim’s arms provide that simple, natural support.
