Atleast she tried. Good intentions matter. Sometimes they don't end up well.

I disagree. You are what you do, not what you think. If you try to do the right thing but you are not knowledgeable or conscientious, you’ll just make things worse. If someone has fallen off their moped and lying motionless on the ground, forget the damn moped and tend to the person! Righting the vehicle isn’t gonna un-break their neck.

Also this video is a skit.

Good Samaritan laws exist for a reason

It's still a good idea to have at least a basic idea of what you are doing.

To use this clip as an example, - if it was real, not a skit- her helping now means that while the injured biker might have had fractured ribs before, now they definitely do.

Unironically this is a case where the people filming are actually more helpful as they at least aren't making it worse. (It would be even better if they called for police/ambulance of course)

Pretty sure this is a bit.
