Peak 3D excursion angle during extrication trials on flat terrain and steep slope. Left: Peak extrication 3D excursion angles on a flat terrain depending on the use or not of a cervical collar; Right: Peak extrication 3D excursion angles on a steep slope (> 40% grade) depending on the use or not of a cervical collar. Medians and 95% confidence intervals are represented. Peak 3D θEX: peak extrication 3D excursion angle, CC: cervical collar, MILS: manual in-line stabilization
