I used to hunt when I was younger and I think if I had a hunting accident I would let one of my friends tend to me even if they didn't know much about first aid. I guess I would put my life in their hands. (In fact, a friend almost shot my foot with a shotgun at point blank range. What are friends for?) I can't explain that as it relates to an accident in a large crowd and/or public place.

And lots of amateur and professional athletes (football, hockey) get seriously injured with concussions, paralysis, etc. Playing hockey as a young kid I think if I fell through the ice and lost consciousness and/or had hypothermia I would also want someone nearby to help me. So I'm not sure if I'm changing my tune. I'm a flip-flopper like some politicians.
