In all my time on ScubaBoard, this is my first poll ... there's an ongoing discussion in this thread about a person's right to videotape a rescue during a diving accident. And I'm curious how it would affect your decision to get involved.
I personally feel it would have a chilling effect if people knew that their every action was going to be recorded, posted on YouTube or Facebook, critiqued by masses of strangers, and possibly be used as evidence in a liability lawsuit.
How about you? Would it affect your decision to attempt to help? If so, do you think knowing that your actions were being videotaped would limit the scope of your involvement?
I would also like to ask that those who reply indicate whether or not they have been rescue trained, and whether or not they have ever been involved in a real scuba rescue situation. I can answer in the affirmative on both of those questions ...
