bent limbs

Hello.

recovery position
a position used in first aid to prevent choking in unconscious patients, in which the body is placed facing downwards and slightly to the side, supported by the bent limbs.
oxford dictionary

Bent limbs are the unconscious person's legs or arms, which are bent by someone to put them (the limbs) in a comfortable position.
Is that right?

 

[5jj]

The limbs are the unconscious person's legs or arms, which are bent by someone to put them (the limbs) in a position that stops the person rolling onto their front and possibly suffocating. It's nothing to do with comfort.

Yes, arms and legs, bent by the other person. I'm not sure "comfort" is the goal but rather proper positioning of the body.

In this photo, you can see the first-aider bending the knees of the unconscious person.
