Not exactly EMS but..

Until one of the bystanders sues the biker for hurting his back lifting the car...

It's happened before
 
The clip I saw, before reading this post was of the kid being pulled out and no more. I didn't realize it took so long for anyone to do anything. But I agree, in that case the standers-by did right; they did what they saw was necessary and then left him for the pros.

Ummm...where were those pros?

Here's what I blogged about this and the guy who was UN-attended by anyone in NY (except for that part where they bounced a car off him!)

If the folks around that car had all died when the gas tank cooked off we would all be giving them hell about how "bystanders have no business stopping to help".

To be fair, having been at numerous car fires over the past few years, I have yet to see one explode. I've seen tires blow, and windows pop, an airbag pop, and when it hits the fuel line a very rapid increase in size and heat. But never an actual explosion to where it would injure people around it.

You know, like you said, as if the heat/flame/fumes/glass wasn't enough.
