When it's safe to do so, assess the person who is injured and, if necessary, dial 999 for an ambulance. You can then carry out basic first aid. If someone is injured in an incident, first check that you and the person who is injured are not in any danger. If you are, make the situation safe. The 3 priorities when dealing with a casualty are commonly referred to as ABC, which stands for:

Airway

If the person appears unresponsive, ask them loudly if they're OK and if they can open their eyes. If they respond, you can leave them in the position they're in until help arrives.

While you wait, keep checking their breathing, pulse and level of response:

Are they alert?

Do they respond to your voice?

Is there no response to any stimulus (are they unconscious)?

If there's no response, leave the person in the position they're in and open their airway. If this is not possible in the position they're in, gently lay them on their back and then try to open their airway. To open the airway, place 1 hand on the person's forehead and gently tilt their head back, lifting the tip of the chin using 2 fingers. This moves the tongue away from the back of the throat. Don't push on the floor of the mouth, as this will push the tongue upwards and obstruct the airway. If you think the person may have a spinal injury, place your hands on either side of their head and use your fingertips to gently lift the angle of the jaw forward and upwards, without moving the head, to open the airway. Take care not to move the person's neck. But opening the airway takes priority over a neck injury. This is known as the jaw thrust technique.

What year copper penny is worth the most?

The Most Expensive Penny The first 1943 copper cent was sold in 1958 for more than $40,000. In 1996, another went for a whopping $82,500. But those sales pale in comparison with the latest: this week, a dealer in New Jersey sold his 1943 penny for a staggering $1.7 million.

content.time.com - Top 10 Things You Didn't Know About the Penny - TIME

The 1943 copper-alloy cent is one of the most enigmatic coins in American numismatics and reportedly the most valuable Lincoln penny of all. Just 40 of the coins probably created by accident, on copper-alloy one-cent blanks left in the presses in the wartime years when pennies were converted to steel are known to exist. The first 1943 copper cent was sold in 1958 for more than $40,000. In 1996, another went for a whopping $82,500. But those sales pale in comparison with the latest: this week, a dealer in New Jersey sold his 1943 penny for a staggering $1.7 million. Their collection value makes 1943 copper pennies a prime target for counterfeiters: fakes are often made by coating steel cents with copper or altering the dates of 1945, 1948 and 1949 cents. How can you tell if your 1943 copper penny is real? Use a magnet. If the penny sticks, it's not copper. Better luck next time.
