When the backstay came down, one of your crew got caught in the rigging
causing a severe head injury. He's in and out of consciousness. Obviously,
this is life-threatening. What do you do?

If it's obviously life-threatening then he needs to be choppered out of
there.

In the meantime, keep him warm & awake. Stop the bleeding but do not put
pressure on the wound. Having him sit or stand up will help both
bleeding and awakeness. No fluids, no painkillers.
