Thanks for the info, Howard. I sure hope not to find myself in such a difficult position at some point in my life as to try to save somebody's life, but this might as well make the difference. Thanks.
For comparison, it is duty here to help somebody, if you see him collapse. Not helping would mean prosecution and jail. The doctrine says: you can't make it worse, when somebody's dying and there's no qualified help nearby.

Yup, that's what I've heard as well. If two people are available, breathing shouldn't be out of the question.
