And I'm neither certified nor trained.

I haven't been certified in over 2 years, but it wasn't stated in my last certification class that this was unsafe to use. We were still shown how to do it, and when I did it, it was in a restaurant on a man that was choking so he had no problem with me doing it. It was weird though because you never really think that you will ever have to use it. I too was certified for CPR and first aid, and the CPR certification is for 1 year, and the first aid for 3 years.
