When there's a risk of further dangerThis was the right answer

Don't move a casualty unless there's further danger; for example, from other traffic or fire. They may have unseen or internal injuries. Moving them unnecessarily could cause further injury. Don't remove a motorcyclist’s helmet unless it’s essential.
