I would have to say it depends...afterall...I have kids to think about....but I wouldnt be able to stand there and not do anything either.....hard question for me!
I with Kris, it's instinctual with me. I just do it and ask questions later. I've been there and done that on several occasions. Fortunately it never ended in the ultimate sacrifice for me, but it has come close.
I can't give a concrete answer to that question...there are several different things to be considered. For a child, without a doubt, i would deffinately risk my life. For an adult, what are the odds that i would come out of it alive, are they in absoute mortal danger, etc. I know this may seem selfish and calloused but its the way i feel.
Been there. I didn't have time to analyze if I would or wouldn't. It just happens. Call it "mother's instinct" that can also be used for a total stranger, or call it "human nature". Most people don't have time to think about the consequences of helping others. At least not those with a conscience. You just react.
I think I would if it were for a child. It depends on the circumstance. I'm not going to risk my life to get someone's purse back, I've heard of people getting shot and killed for trying to rescue some material item for some stranger.
