>>>They were on the scene with a person trapped under a boat in plain sight and neither one took action to save a human life. Why?
Because in emergency first response, one of the first things you learn is do not do anything you are not trained to do so you don’t become a victim yourself. Sounds rather harsh, but that’s the way it is.

That’s true. I’ve always considered myself smart enough not to permit myself to get into a situation where I would need to be rescued. So you see I’m one of those untrained people who will make an attempt to rescue someone that I feel that I can, if there’s a reasonable possibility of doing so without endangering my life. Family excepted of course, gladly give my life for my wife and/or daughters.
