I think the average person can tell what's going on if they see someone prone on the ground and someone doing chest compressions.

You would think that, right? But no. If you're a guy, you automatically think of all the ways you can get accused of SA, even when you're genuinely trying to help. So most guys just don't. It's not worth the risk.

What country's this? Shithole as it is in other ways, in the UK you can't be prosecuted or sued for basically anything if you're resuscitating someone.

I would love to live in that universe of yours were the average person is well informed and rational.
