Tabbyfur aka patchy puss	If that person was in danger and it meant their life or my back. I would give it try to get them off the floor. If my life was in jeopardy and It meant that I would die if I tried to help this person for longer than necessary. Then I would try and then walk away. Even knowing full well that I would carry that guilt for the rest of my life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LKJ	You won't hurt your back if you use proper body mechanics and lift the right way. Even a small person who is 5 ft and 110 lbs. can lift a 300 lb. person if done the right way.
