I took an infant cpr course a few months back and our instructor was quite adamant that in most cases waiting for somebody trained to handle the situation is far better than rolling up your sleeves and diving in. I can't remember the stat she provided, but it was something like 80% of spinal injuries occur after the accident and are the result of improper medical care at the scene. Feel free to call BS on that one, it's just what she said.
