Due to this accident we have now purchased a Defibrillator and members are being trained.

FIRSTLY if a person has a Cardiac arrest, That person is DEAD. Anyone who who was to stand by and do nothing is more likely to be sued for NOT HELPING. This sue for cash culture is appalling.
Totally agree with your last statement, which makes wonder if there are no blame accidents any more.
