That's correct, it's not saying any thing about "all about ME", but it says that there is no use of you dead for playing hero. There are plenty of people that will set on here and say "well I would do this" or "I'm going to render aid no matter what". Then their fight or flight response hit's and they will stay back.
There is no problem with being smart in these situations. Even the professionals will assess the situation before acting.
This is not a generational issue, I guess the first responders were taught the wrong way because of generational difference?
NC, don't you think it's possible that people learned to assess the situation before action, because of mistakes made by the older generation? This is how people drown who jump in to save other people who fell into the water. They acted without thinking, went into the water before dawning life jacket or some other floatation device, and lost their life. Thinking at least a little only takes minimal time, but it's worth the investment.
Fishing is a science, study, experiment, fail, and succeed...then start over tomorrow. Yeah I'm a science guy.
