As a qualified lifeguard that I was, I wouldn’t attempt a life saving rescue in a river or lake etc. today because I know I would not be able to carry out the mission successfully and only put myself at risk and would need rescuing myself, thus putting someone else in a dangerous situation.

As I stated before First Aid isn’t just about knowing what to do but also about knowing what NOT TO DO and WHEN NOT TO DO IT.
Dont believe you. Prove it.
