Will you risk your life to save another?...

If u were driving somewhere and see an accident , will you pull over to try to save this person?...

If you see a dog or any type of wild animal that is attacking a child or an adult will you get into it by saving this person somehow?...Anything that you see another person life being on risk...

OR

Will you just go passed this person by and minding your own business?...and not to risk your own life by trying to save this person....
 
i would pull over call 911
depending on the hour
reason why is sometimes someone under influence of drugs can
cause BS and start being voilent but if u see it s a parent and or elderly yah i would, AND also would tell them i notified 911 and someone's coming. and etc. but I WILL NOT get out of my truck at 1 am in the mornig cuz an accident happen will just notify a accident occured on this such street or addresses!~
 
I would Go out and Save Anyone that in A Bad Situation. I would Not Mind how bad the Situation is.. I would feel bad if I saw something and walked away Cuz that is something I Would not do.

Couple years ago I have seen this person walking across the street when it was Raining outside and a Car hit this guy and stopped and I pulled on the side and See if this guy was all right he was laying on the street and this guy started panic I think I killed him!! IM like relax I will get someone real quick so I went to the nearest gas station and told this guy to call 911 someone got hit by a car and is in the middle of the street so the clerk called 911 and I went back over there and this guy was still there panic real bad and I told him just sit in the car and calmed down it was an accident. So I gave my coat to this guy who is laying on the street and I asked him if he is all right if he was hurt and he kept pointing to his legs and I said the Ambulance is on their way here. and I didn't care if I was soak wet I had a date that night and all I Thought about is this guy on the street. I didn't care if my date would be mad if i was running late or if he would understand why I was late .. but after the ambulance arrived they took over and told me he would be all right he was going to Parma General Hospital.. and I went to my date and he was not even mad I explained to him what happened and everything and he said are u all right and I said kinda of I wanted to see if this guy is all right and So I went to the hospital to check up on him he broke his hips and his Left Leg and he is doing very well So I was really Relief that he is Alright.
 
Me 2... :mrgreen:

If I see someone in similar situation that is likely to be in risk...I would risk my own life by saving this person....I would NOT walk away or drive by or etc....

I've never been or seen a situations where someone is in an accident or in serious danger or etc....

*tears running down on my cheek* You ARE a good person. You did right thing to do. I have to applaud you for that.. If I was in ur shoes Ill do the same thing. *wipe the tears from my cheek*
 
Awww Thank you Lianca...Now u making my eyes watering. :cry:


I know u would do the same.:)

*Hugs* :grouphug: :ily:
 
If I witness a serious incident in front of my own eyes, so I will zoom to assist injured person with care. I will stay with the person and find out how serious of the person's injury. I make sure that person is allright or not. Person helping other person. It is a key of being a good samatian (sp).
 
It usually depends on what's happening. There are times when it's best to leave it alone. However, in most cases... I would do something.

What do u mean at times its best to leave it alone? Tell me an Example what u would left alone and walk away?
 
Being a good samaritan is an awesome trait to behold and to willingly go out of the way to help others in time of urgent need...which I would be willingly to risk my own neck in order to save a life of another...likewise, if I were in such a predicament of my own, I'm sure I would hope someone would be able to reach out and help me....

There are times when someone might hesitate whether to proceed valiantly saving someone's life when a threat of a 'lawsuit' hovers...in other words, someone could sue if you happened to move an injured person in such a way that's harmful or have such a profound impact that could paralyzed that person, etc.

Although, I would consider going out of my way to 'save' anyone and not even hesitate whatsoever...I have seen several car accidents before my own eyes, and in each situation, I did get out and checked to see if everyone was alright...in each of these accidents, none was serious enough to actually risk my neck for....

Lastly, it's sad enough to know that some ppls. don't have the 'time' to reach out in any life threatening situations simply they just don't want to distrubt their own routine in this fast paced world we live in....
 
Assumed Risk

To save or not save the life of another is a decision that must be made in a split second in most cases. Life threatening situations born of an accident, or trauma where life support only requires your time to save a person's life should be an instant response. Things such as dialing 911, covering a person to prevent them form going into shock and CPR fit into this category. Most states have a good smaritan law which protects the individual who is attempting to save a persons llife from being sued.

If a person is drowning a self assesment should be made. i.e. can I swim well enough to save myself and this person or will I become another casualty in the process.

If you witness a person being beaten in the street by a number of people and it appears as though you may may get hurt trying to save the person yell out Fire..Fire Fire as you go to get help it may distract the attackers long enough for you to get help. People will naturally respond to a call of fire where they may be hesitant to respond to the word help.

Bottom line is people should go the extra yard to save someone..Assume some risk, but do so in a manner that will not make you a casualty in the process. Far too many people have become absorbed with the "Self" and not concerned with the other.

:werd: I agree with you. It's not just something that anyone can do. When some people think of the word "hero", they think about jumping in and saving the day. They even imagine themselves standing there with that special glow coming from them while others go "awww..." I've done a lot to help others. Maybe, I saved their life. Maybe, I didn't. I don't pay attention to it that way. I just do what I can do. If I can't do it, then I don't. If people don't praise me, fine with me. I'm not looking for people to praise me anyway. I'm more happy that the other person is happy and alright. That's all that really makes me happy.
 
On April 5, 1973, Robert Heinlein delivered the James Forrestal Memorial Lecture to the Brigade of Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. This is a short excerpt from the end of that lecture:

The time has come for me to stop. I said that "patriotism" is a way of saying "women and children first." And that no one can force a man to feel this way. Instead he must embrace it freely. I want to tell about one such man. He wore no uniform and no one knows his name, or where he came from; all we know is what he did.

In my home town sixty years ago when I was a child, my mother and father used to take me and my brothers and sisters out to Swope Park on Sunday afternoons. It was a wonderful place for kids, with picnic grounds and lakes and a zoo. But a railroad line cut straight through it.

One Sunday afternoon a young married couple were crossing those tracks. She apparently did not watch her step, for she managed to catch her foot in the frog of a switch to a siding and could not pull it free. Her husband stopped to help her.

But try as they might, they could not get her foot loose. While they were working on it, a tramp showed up, walking the ties. He joined the husband in trying to pull the young woman's foot loose. No luck.

Out of sight around the curve a train whistled. Perhaps there would have been time to run and flag it down, perhaps not. In any case both men went right ahead trying to pull her free.....and the train hit them.

The wife was killed, the husband was mortally injured and died later, the tramp was killed—and testimony showed that neither man made the slightest effort to save himself.

The husband's behavior was heroic…but what we expect of a husband toward his wife: his right, and his proud privilege, to die for his woman. But what of this nameless stranger ? Up to the very last second he could have jumped clear. He did not. He was still trying to save this woman he had never seen before in his life, right to the very instant the train killed him. And that's all we'll ever know about him.

This is how a man dies.

This is how a man…lives !

"They shall not grow old
as we that are left grow old,
age shall not whither them
nor the years condemn them;
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning,
we shall remember them"

:tears: ...Levonian !....What a beautiful and sad story ! *blowing my nose*...
 
*twice saved two peoples lives*
(muttering) doesn't want story..
Made me feel more sad and seeing...
(muttering) Thanks for bring this issues up.. No problem.... for me doesn't want talk about this.. :tears: ~*breaks my heart*
 
I'd risk my life to save any child. I'm trained in CPR and First Aid, so I'll do whatever I can do with anyone that needs my help.
 
I would risk my life to save anyone. I would not want to be called a hero like some people wanted to be recognized as one.

Way to go, Cheri! You sound like you remained cool and collected during that time...I reckon I would've panicked and not think straight. Again, it may be a different story if I happen to come across an accident scene or anyone in dire need of help. I'm certified Level 2 First Aid, so I would stop and help out as much as I can until the professionals arrive with the appropriate equipments to assist the injured, etc.
 
Last week, my husband was indirectly involved in assisting in securing a fatal car accident.
It happened at the intersections of Stud and Wellington Roads. DH briefly assisted the police with the situation.

DH appeared a bit shaky and quiet as he attempted in explaining to me what had happened there. Apparently, he had come across the accident scene less than a minute after it happened.

The 23-year-old guy who caused the accident, died at the scene. Witnesses said the guy was seen driving on the wrong side of the road on the unsealed section and speeding. Hitting approximately 120 to 140kph. He ran the red light and plowed into a car sitting at the intersection, then into a taxi a bit beyond the first car. On the last impact with the taxi, the guy was thrown clean out of his car via the windshield and was dead on impact on the other side of the medium strip.

DH did the ‘’D’ bit (from DR ABC)

D – danger

R – response

A – Airway

B – breathing

C – circulation

DH secured the scene by parking his car in front of the body and protecting the scene until the cops arrived on scene. DH was there for at least an hour or so, he reckoned. He also called triple 0 for ambulance and police.

The taxi driver had to be cut out of his taxi. He– was stuck in it and unable to open his driver door as it was caved in and passenger side was damaged during the collision.

Another guy who was at the scene, did the checking of the dead man for any possible vital signs, but that was done in vain as the man was beyond help.
