Would you rather help them and maybe take a lawsuit or live with the fact that you might have been able to prevent their death by helping them.
It sound like Conroy22 had some training to handle a situation like this.
He should be able to forgive himself if he faced a lawsuit, but would proably have a lot harder time forgiving himself if someone died and he might have been able to do something about it.

Exactly.
Hell if I were a bit further down, I may have ran in, and ASKED someone in the know what I can do to help. If Conroy22 was the nearest person trained in first aid there, others around to help him can be nothing but beneficial.
As far as lawsuits and the junk, if someone ran in to help an injured me, but made something worse, I'd still thank them, unless they were being extremely careless and stupid.
Suing someone who tries to help you when you're in a serious accident, is like thanking a guy who had an affair with your wife, because it helped you meet your new, better wife. Sure, in the end it all worked out ok, but that wasn't the intent of the infidelity.
