I have a novel idea - don't run around and try to save them - let Darwin take it's course, and the NEXT time, people WILL leave
Believe me, I sympathize with this sentiment, but in California (and probably most other states) police, fire and rescue personnel are required by law to provide assistance to anyone needing it. I can't decide to rescue this person but not that one simply because I think the second guy should have known better and has caused his own problem.
kc2ixe, it's just a shame that your idea is "novel"!...when it should be the norm!
Grant, you're right about those personnel being required by law to render assistance and, as someone else already said, most of them would do it willingly, with or without a legal requirement. But this isn't about whether or not they should help (although I agree with kc2ixe), it's about whether or not they should even be placed into the position to have to help! Like most said, those that stay (peabrains that they are), place not only rescuers in danger, but others as well!
The best idea yet? Who was it that said.....get out and we'll handle it. Stay and you now work for us.
