A major concern in car accidents is spinal immobilization. Apparently, this guy had no idea what he was doing and could very well have paralyzed her. He should have used better judgement. Sometimes you can't always play the good samaritan card. It's a tough call.

I'd rather be a paraplegic then have nobody do anything and the car burst into flames and roast me alive. Is it sad? Absolutely, but I would be more thankful to be alive. If the person showed some kind of due care and didn't drag me by my hair down a flight of stairs I would be ok.

Note to self - don't save TiAg335i from a car accident because he will sue the shit out of you. How do you know he didn't take due care? Even the smallest movement could have paralyzed her and who is to say she wouldn't have been paralyzed anyway. Sad

You know what. Its human nature to try and help. In those kinds of situation you dont think, you just do. Im sure if they were thinking the car was going to burst into flames that they werent gonna waste and anytime and Im sure they were trying to hurry and get her out ASAP.

Way to take things out of context buddy. Nowhere in that post was I referring to what I would do in such a situation.

That's the problem here

If the car truly was going to "blow up" in a matter of seconds I supposed his action was justified.

Principles of first aid:
· Preserve life.
· Protect the unconscious casualty.
· Prevent the condition worsening.
· Promote recovery.
· Call for medical assistance.

Preserving life comes before preventing the condition from worsening. Of course putting a cervical collar on her to immobilize her neck is important. However, if he truly thinks that the car is going to blow up before EMS and fire fighters arrive at the scene, his actions are justified and should be protected by the Good Samaritan law. It is an unfortunate event further complicated by the greed of the "victim" and the ambulance chasers, as well as the twisted tort system in this country. The old saying "no good deed goes unpunished" still applies.

The co-worker claimed that he was afraid the car would catch on fire. Not likely but what if it did? Then she would be burned to death.

Burned to Death< Paraplegic and alive

im not joking when i say this...
We were with some friends one night when all of the sudden they start swerving around the road. We were in separate cars though, so I was watching this from mine and scared what they were doing.
Out of no where, BOOM, it flips and I see someone go flying out one of the windows.
This was just terrifying. The other two people in the car were pinned under it. So it was the ground, them, then the roof of the car. I IMMEDIATLY pull over. Almost flipped my car in the process.
The sounds were horrible, people screaming in pain as their bodies being slowly killed.
Anyways.. my adrenaline pumping, Im fuckin runnin as fast as possible. Get over there, I dont even know how I did it when I look back, but I litterealy pick up the car (sedan) enough so that they could get out. One person did, but my best friend couldnt move. By the time the one person got out, I cant hold the car anymore. Im fucking crying, as I cant hold this thing, and have to put it down. She tried to make me feel better by nodding like it was okay and her time to go but, it still killed me to have to put this thing back on my friend's body killing her. Hearing her scream.
I still hurt inside. It just kills me to hear and see something like that.
Both my friends were dead before the ambulance arrived. The other one lived. (didnt know him much)

well thats my story
