This is where we stray into a real grey area. The car is on fire, on top of a cliff, still on the road etc etc. It discourages people from trying to save a life regardless of possible injuries, which is sad.

I was taught that both CPR and the Heimlich manouevre could break ribs, but the instructor each time said, "I don't think anyone would complain about broken ribs if you saved their life! Ha ha ha."
