Yes and no. If by helping, you mean, will I call someone on my cell? Probably. If by helping, you mean, will I jump in and help her. I have doubts. We had a nun that drove off the road and into the lake. Problem was that the lake was frozen and so she got to the point where the ice was thin enough and she was far away enough when she went thru that she was not reachable. (100 yards or so). Car was sinking slowly and she managed to stick her head out. Now, I put a call in and let them come get her. That is the extent of my intervention. Would I put myself at risk for her? Absolutely not. Why? Because based on what I see of people, I can't expect them to do the same.
