Walk On By

[nailit]

Would you honestly stop to help or would you follow the herd?

[Tilly2]

I would call an ambulance.

[anneasquith]

Stop

[shoota]

I couldn't walk past that - old habits die hard.

[Lie-in King]

I'd see if I could help, I've done it before.

[Tilly2]

I wonder if the reaction would be different in one of our cities?

[douglas9401]

I'd try to help.

[scorpiojo]

^^ ditto

[Mamyalynne]

I'd stop and in similar situations have done - also have had people come to my aid too.

[kawanabe]

I have helped a person in similar distress,more than once.

Was advised by First Responder friend later - to call an ambulance.

It is 'one of our cities' Tilly. The video started in the US but the number plates on the parked bikes are UK

[nailit]

Interestingly, psychological studies show that most of us would indicate that we would help, but when put to the test we would follow the herd. Human primates that behave as sheep.

I would stop unless I thought they were on drugs, trying to assist someone on drugs just gets you into trouble.

[Samjenko]

Hard to say. Probably assume they were passed out from drink if I'm honest. (and walk on by)

[andy-hughes]

I would help.

I remember stopping to help up a man who was drunk and had fallen over, and everyone simply stood and stared at me.

I was on my way to catch a bus, which was stationary, in view of the man, and people on the bus who had seen me help him to stand up stared at me as though I was in some way infectious - which felt far more uncomfortable than simply stopping to help someone who was lying in the street.

[Tilly2]

I didn't realise it was not all filmed in New York. I watched the clip without sound.

[woofgang]

I would honestly stop. Have done before, would do again

[Rosie29]

I agree with Woofgang - I know I would have to help. Really upsetting video.

A couple of months ago I came across someone apparently unconscious with a bag of shopping spread around him and his phone lying at his side. People just walked past him, I waited until there was no one around and called an ambulance. The 999 operator asked me to check if he was breathing etc. I refused on the grounds that I didn't know if he was out of it on drink/drugs and could 'turn' on me. It wasn't my job to ascertain his condition. I waited with him tho to make sure no one robbed him until the ambulance arrived. Turned out he was just plastered.

[marval]

I would stop and help if I could.

Filmed at the Liverpool St. entrance to London Liverpool St. station, says a lot about city workers, as long as they have their coffee to go .....
