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. |

no stupid. what is the point of injuring yourself if you are not capable of lifting safely. do them a favor and leave them alone. |

there is no way i would lift a large person from the floor there are so many lifting aids now that you shouldn't even be thinking of this, if your put in a position where you have to lift make sure you are properly trained and have the adequate support |

First rule of Lifesaving (although this question isn't about saving a life, but the rule is still relevant) is before to tend to a casualty is make sure it is safe for you to do so.
Also you shouldn't move a casualty until checked for spinal injuries by a paramedic. |

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. Trust me I've worked in a hospital for 4 years and that is something that they teach you in school. |

Why would you need to? It would hardly do anyone any good if you finished up on the floor with him. If he's ill the best place is staying on the floor until proper medical attention can be given. |

If you don't know how to do it safely best to let someone else do it,get help and make him/her comfortable. |

I think it would be a very silly thing to do. Get help - perhaps a crane would do! |

Yes but only if they were very fat indeed. |

I wouldn't lift anyone, fat or not, if it meant hurting my back. The sensible thing to do is get help. |
