We were climbing a water fall. It was a tourist outing. A man had what I think was a heart attack and he was slipping under the water. Whole crowd of people and they all just stood there. Well except my wife and I. The tour attendants then got involved and handled it.
Another time I was on an mountain biking outing with some Boy Scouts. It was hot. We took a break and a kid came up to me and said. Billy is sick. I went over and the tour attendants were around him but doing nothing. The kid was clearly going into heat stroke. I watched for a minute and took over. Put him is some shade and dumped water on his head, made him drink. He came around in no time. I pulled the tour guide aside and let him know he screwed up. He was only in his early twenties. Also made all the boys drink a bottle of water. Then we had a first aid lesson.
What I am saying is do something. Don't watch.
