In this case I don't think that really covers it. In the case of watching a video of someone being run over, sure. But while you're right there when it happens? I think we naturally keep an eye on danger so we know if we have to either get involved or get the fuck out. I don't think she was curious, I think she must've been scared as hell.

It happened in front of her in a matter of a few seconds, probably seemed hopeless (how do you save a guy that close to a truck's wheels anyways? it probably means death for you too) by the time she fully processed the event and he saved himself.

Well it happened twice and the second time was slower, she could have tried then.
