Reply #4: But sometimes...

running toward the scene can give you the opportunity to help others out. It is not quite the same, but while I was coming home from the Hill Country last christmas, an SUV ran off the road and flipped on its roof. I didn't think at all about what to do. I got off the road, ran toward it, managed to wrench to back door off, and helped the people get out of the vehicle. I got the kids in the back. Another motorist helped those in the front seat. It just happened with no thought. No one was hurt, thankfully- just a bit shook up (as was I, once I stopped to think about it :) )
