I'm not sure whether it's true but I've heard that in some states you can get punished if the first aid you give actually kills the guy you tried to help. That would make me also very reluctant of helping someone. Here in Germany the law says that you've got to help and you won't be prosecuted if you screwed up your first aid. Our first aid instructor once said "There is nor wrong first aid, the only wrong thing is no aid at all.".
