😶 ASL Sign of the Day: UNCONSCIOUS

Someone drops to the floor. No response. Do you know what to sign?

UNCONSCIOUS starts with both flat hands raised in front of your chest — then everything falls: hands drop, fingers go limp. The body tells the story in one motion.

Card 1 — Starting Handshape Both open-B hands at mid-chest, palms facing each other, fingers pointing up.

Card 2 — Motion Both hands drop simultaneously. As they fall, the fingers curl closed into a loose fist. No pause — it happens in one fluid drop.

Card 3 — Ending Handshape Relaxed fists hanging low — wrists loose, arms heavy. The limpness is part of the sign.

Card 4 — Usage "She is unconscious — call for help!" Pair this sign with HELP or CALL-911 in an emergency. Speed matters.

🫳 Tip: The downward drop + curl is the whole sign. Keep it smooth, not stiff — the relaxed ending is what makes it read as "limp" vs. just "down."
