It’s their right to choose to stay depending on their individual, personal circumstances not similar to any other, without being arm-chair judged for it, and it’s the rescuer’s right to choose to come or not to come. They don’t have to! That’s the risk we all take and we are aware of it. Luckily we have people who respect rights and freedoms, and they choose to come rescue anyway. Good and selfless people. What a concept, huh?

Seat belts in cars, and helmets on motorcyclists are mandatory in most places. Seat belts have saved a lot of lives, and helmets have saved a lot of brains. I have sympathy for the first responders, police, EMTs etc who have to deal with people's bad decisions. The responders don't always have a choice. I'd like as few of them to develop on-the-job PTSD as possible.

So will you protect us morons from anything that might hurt us, mommy/daddy? Rule me harder, please.

BTW-I rode Harleys for 30 yrs w/out a helmet (unless mandatory/law)-never had a problem.
