Explanation

Correct answer: When there is threat to life of the injured person.

As a rule, casualties with a suspected spinal injury should not be moved, as this poses a risk of permanent disability. An exception is a situation involving an immediate threat to life, e.g., a vehicle fire, where immediate evacuation is necessary. In such a case, saving a life is the priority, even at the risk of worsening existing injuries.
