Not Ranked
This case is the reason for the law in the first place. If you help someone, and everything turns out good, no one is sued. Law isn't needed. If you help someone, and there is a bad outcome, then the "helper" should be protected unless malicious intent can be proven. Not everybody knows exactly what to do in every situation.
It's just ironic that the law is being questioned for the kind of case it was written for, well it's not really ironic, because alot of money can be made for the attorney.
The correct thing to do is to call 911, and let the people "trained" to handle emergencies do the work and more importantly, they are covered by "malpractice" insurance by their employer, maybe the city itself.

The crowd was jumping up and down as he stunned the Chevrolet drivers by easily passing the entire field to finish second behind MacDonald's other team Cobra. The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
