I think the key is the misnomer "for your own safety".
As several volunteers have stated here, they will not ignore a call for help, no matter how stupid the victim is. They will put their own lives in danger to try to save yours.
So before you get all huffed up about YOUR rights, think about your moral obligation to not selfishly put others in danger.
In other words, stay out of a disaster area for the sake of the safety of those that will try to bail you out no matter what.
