How much of a chad you gatta be to have a heart attack and go "ugh, again. Sorry guys but gotta go." and you drive yourself to the hospital.

[@artapaintpluscanvas]

A tough as heck Chad. Heart attacks hurt so bad. I can't believe he drove through that.

Props to the new narrator for taking feedback, this one seems way more empathetic and appropriately serious. You'll only get better from here! Keep going!

[@richardherndon451]

The bystander effect is a scary thing. People, if you see something you think you need to call 911 for, CALL 911!

[@lexsamreeth8724]

That's why first aid classes say you should tell ONE person to call 911 (or 999). It immediately puts the responsibility on one person.

[@bigfootsb284]

Classic example of the Bystander Effect, people see what is an emergency and think that someone else can deal with it and doesn’t report anything.

[@quinettaloftus]

Also, if I don't get involved, I won't get in trouble.

[@1bootliz]

After watching this, I now understand why part of CPR training includes instructing someone nearby to call 911....

[@marshawargo7238]

Story 42 was the passenger & a lot of the people watching but not calling, probably Saw OP talking to emergency services & told others that she/he had called! She called so idk what she had to bitch about!

[@NUeditsFC8421]

​@@marshawargo7238 You clearly don't understand cpr you are meant consistently pump the chest so you do not have to call 999.You don't know what your talking about

[@SoulDevoured]

​@@NUeditsFC8421yeah survival rates of on site CPR are really low and it's partly because every second counts. If there is no one else you call because only an AED or adrenaline shots can actually restart someone's heart most times but otherwise yeah the person doing compressions is doing compressions.

[@jessicamurawski]

I just want to say that someone being loaded into an ambulance doesn’t necessarily mean they’re alive. Ambulances can also be used to transport dead bodies. EMTs either don’t or not all of them have the authority to pronounce someone dead so they still have to go to the hospital so a doctor can do it.

[@marshawargo7238]

AND when you come to an obviously dead body, Always check their pulse😮! Even in Fake TV Shows, they check the pulse😅! I wonder if the cop shot the zombie & didn't mention it😮? He Did Say, the corner said that "He should have been dead with the initial shot" Meaning that there was a secondary shot😮!!! ??????

[@Xurnalea]

I like the timber of this narrators voice; both are soothing, but theres something about the intonation when he adds his own commentary actually feels genuine; more genuine than other reading style channels. Gotta thank them both (and whoever's involved) for content like this that's still being put together with human hands.

[@kayleighfuria819]

The new narrator is doing a lot better with the videos now! Keep up the great work and thank you for giving us more content to enjoy!

[@BeeWhistler]

Gotta say, as sad as it was that the dude “suspected of having been beaten by a woman” had in fact been a sick pedo, I also find it troubling that the cops automatically assumed, before they knew the full story, that if he’d been beaten by a woman, he must have deserved it. I mean, I’m very glad they looked into it and arrested him but suppose he’d been a victim of abuse instead? If he’d been beaten by his partner, male or female, and was too embarrassed to say so, the cop would just be there assuming he’d done something wrong. Investigations need to be unbiased.

[@dragoness0420]

100%! Accusations of any kind of abuse, no matter their gender, should be taken seriously, from the start. Personal opinions and bias have no place in the legal system.

[@gamerraider889]

​@@dragoness0420Yeah, his entire thought process was profiling. "He had a guilty air" is terrifying. Regardless of the fact the guy had been a pedo, it was an improper way to getting to that conclusion.

[@kommo1]

"This is uncomfortable. Someone else probably already called" says everybody ever.

[@dragoness0420]

Human nature is a weird one, for sure. I think they call it the "bystander effect" or something similar? When I was taking CPR classes, they told us to point to someone specifically and tell them to call 911, when surrounded by onlookers, for this exact reason. Everyone assumes someone else already called. One the few times I've come across an emergency situation, I always call, regardless if someone else is on the phone. The dispatchers are generally happy that I've called and inform me that they already have a call about the situation; takes less than a minute.

[@meegansandberg1308]

All these people, standing around doing nothing reminds of an incident that happened in 2017. I live in a low income high-rise. There used to be an old man living in the building. I'll call him A. A was mentally ill and diabetic. He was grumpy, had no personal hygiene, and tried to bum stuff off people in the building multiple times a day. He refused to take personal responsibility for himself. Needless to say, no one in the building liked him. I noticed that his legs had swollen up and turned beet red, probably from the uncontrolled diabetes. Then he started having troubles walking. There's a bus stop right in front of our building and I took the bus back and forth to work. I was sitting on the front patio, waiting for the bus when A hobbled out the front door. He almost made it to a bench, but wound up taking a fall. I asked him if he was okay and he said he thought he broke his arm. I could see he was in a lot of pain. I called emergency services and waited with him until the ambulance came. News traveled fast in a high-rise, so when I got home from work, everybody knew what had happened. I always liked my neighbor, G and his wife, S because they're non-judgmental and empathetic people. G told me "You know, most people in the building would have just left him there on the pavement because he's so annoying. " Unfortunately, G is right.

[@jakemakesthings9955]

you can call 911, stay on the line and have them walk you thru things like CPR (I think they might be able to do bleeding control as well). CPR can be the difference between life and death. Good quality CPR saves lives

[@rebasack21]

So many of these stories really help explain why in the first aid and cpr class i took that the first thing that you need to do is take control and give orders to bystanders. never assume 911 has been called, instead pick a person and order them to call. So many freeze in these cases and having orders given seems to help a lot.

[@ryanmackenzie6109]

[@RaquellePhillips]

"Common sense isn't really all that common" is one of my favourite sentences. I use it less frequently now I don't work in pubs anymore

[@Eddiember]

Volunteer First Aider here. Its actually quite common for bystanders to not call for 911, not out of people not caring, but more commonly because they believe someone else has already called. If its a genuine emergency, call 911, you will not get in trouble if multiple other people have called in the same issue (at least in Canada).

[@Hallgrenoid]

15:37 My man fell for the good ole "my dad beat me with Jumper cables". Edit: 53:16 Ayyyyy!

[@SilverStarHeggisist]

So these are a very common occurrence, basically the more people who could call for help, the less likely anyone will because everyone else assumes someone else must have already done so, but because everyone assumes this, no one actually does anything.

[@jordanr.2120]

36:29 The little mumbled "Dear god..." Couldn't have put it better myself lmao

[@robinsakuraba5973]

The bystander effect, that’s one reason why people will freeze and not call for emergency services. When I was doing a first aid class we were told if we’re helping out we need to 1) make sure we’re not going to add ourselves to it, and 2) if there’s others there, you delegate tasks.

[@demonsrmyfrendz]

The bystander effect will forever be absolutely mindboggling to me. Even if you think 500 people *must* have seen whatever atrocity just happened, even if *you personally* can't call for emergency help, at least ask if anyone else has called. You'll either get some blank looks and an "i dunno", or a "yes" with some sarcastic remark about people standing around with their thumbs up their asses. At least then you'll KNOW someone's been called

[@col.mustard1233]

"Beating me senseless with a pair of jumper cables", "that's kind of shocking", pun intended?

Jumper Cable Guy is an old Reddit legendary account. The story is fake.

A lot of people started checking the username more often before believing a post because of him.

Genuine question- When people drive by something horrific and assume someone else called the cops why not call in also just in case? Nothing can be done to you and you can ask to be anonymous if that’s something you’re worried about.

[@kimielle]

My cousin who is a cop recounted a story of when he was visiting some friends for a hangi pit party (traditional maori food thing). They were having a few beers in the front yard when they hear this crazy screeching and then see a car bounce off a sturdy fence, hit a curb and cartwheel onto the lawn and stop less than 3 feet from one of the guys hosting. Woman staggers out of the car, in shock, bleeding all over. Clearly has a few broken bones. Car bursts into flame that soon goes out by itself. He and one of the other guys gets her into his car and he drives her, lights going on his unmarked car, full tilt to the nearest hospital. Once he's there he calls emergency services to try to cancel any ambulance phone calls they might have got. Turns out nobody called anything in. About 20 mins later his friend comes in with a kid who has an obvious broken leg who must have been thrown from the car as it spun out of control. Wild. Like 30 or so people were there and not one called an ambulance. Heck - nobody called a fire engine in case the car sparked up again.

[@CarlyndraTM]

Can't believe the narrator got tricked by the jumper cable guy 😂

[@37thraven]

It's the bystander effect We all assume we/friends/family would take action in a crisis. But in reality, when it comes, everyone freezes, and waits on others to act. Well documented psychology

[@tesuniekataren46]

Not calling for help from a large group of people is a "I'm sure someone else already has, so I don't need to" mentality. There is an official name for it, but basically it runs along the lines of, The more people around, the less help is likely to be given. Kind of a "passing the buck" statement. Hence for story 20, the story teller themselves where like "I'm sure you've already gotten a ton of calls about this..." because they assumed the same thing others had, except they still called "just in case".

[@ominamorris3328]

A lot of this is because of the bystander effect. Someone else will think someone else will do it so they do nothing.

Not a cop but on a ride along while I was in college for law enforcement (health changes in my family took priority so I never started the police academy) we got dispatched to a bar fight in progress which on the way to that we witnessed a limo driving near and away from the bar, the kicker was the people who were in the limo were punching each other standing up through the sunroof so we stopped the limo and broke up the fight. Turns out it was the same people who were at the bar fighting but no one called in that they left in the limo or any of the other drivers that they passed in 15 minutes

[@guardianangel7589]

I've noticed that it's not that people don't care. It's a weird mental condition involving herd mentality and shit. More or less, someone is waiting for someone else to do something first or their expecting other people to do it because their not sure if they'd be doing the right thing. It's that fear that they don't have any training and the fact that most people don't expect shit to happen until it does. It's weird. In the end though, it's better to call if you see strange behavior from someone. I had a car wreck out in the winter after it took a turn too quickly while going 45 with snow on the ground. No one stopped after she plowed through a log fence. The log punched through the driver side window and had been sharpened into a spear that was inches from taking her head off. I pulled over, threw on every light I had and contacted law enforcement. I'm not a cop, I work private security and do security patrols across various sites across several cities. No one stopped, no one called, I was the only one who pulled off and went to check on her. She was fine, a little upset her car got messed up, but I got her to laugh in the end. That was a rough year for a lot of reasons. For the love of God, if you even suspect something is wrong with someone, don't be afraid to call emergency services. Calling can get help rolling and save lives.

There were a lot of people standing there and they were deliberately blocking me because they thought I was upsetting him which I did report to 911 , but he goes ahead and dispatches an ambulance and the last thing the dispatcher tells me is that no one not even life alert had contacted them.
