I think that is not as clear cut as you suggest*, but also agree that it’s not a terrible risk under a number of assumptions.
I think a good thing to take from Jason’s post is that one can get some pretty basic training that can prove of immense value to helping others in some not unexpected cases. The benefit I think comes from the core of the legal argument in the link. With some simple training you can start making pretty informed decisions that should help you avoid doing more harm than good due to ignorance or negligence (not considering a risk).
*I will agree that the situation in the news story and legal case is not one of the cases Jason identified but these will always be something of a judgement call and good judgement will depend on knowledge and some training.
