I assumed you were serious considering there's a lot of comments on this post that genuinely were not aware of Duty to Save laws.

Considering you used "do not catch me order" on a post about a woman jumping, yes for real.

Non intervention laws were genuinely a thing at one time, which equated to "Do not Catch" requirements due to liability and risk of lawsuits.

At one point in US history it was legitimately advised that you did not catch or otherwise attempt to physically restrain people attempting to jump in order to end their lives.

Hence the massive changes Duty to Save laws have created over time, allowing rescuers to actually save people without the risk of losing their jobs over it or facing lawsuits.

Okay except he’s not being a buzzkill. He’s providing actual information because half the people commenting actually aren’t kidding.

Yeah but if you look he’s the 14th guy to spam me with shit on a joke comment so yeah I’m probably a little defensive at the minute from the countless other morons. Thank you for the actual information, it was a pleasant read. Apologies for being a dick to you, my real frustration is at the other people commenting giving me shit.
