A member asked:

Could an unconscious person's airway become blocked if they were being carried? or does this only happen if they're lying on their back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It would be possible. Untrained persons should make an effort to keep the head & neck straight with the torso and not allow it to flex forward while carrying anyone is such a state. They should also designate one person to constantly monitor the airway/breathing activity.
