I can somewhat understand the other side of this. If I was in a serious car wreck, I wouldn't want anyone touching me before the paramedics arrived unless it was pressure on a wound to slow the bleeding. Moving someone when you don't really know what you're doing can have permanent life-long consequences like paralysis, etc. Keep me warm, try to stop the bleeding, but for God's sake don't play EMT on me because you probably lack the skills and knowledge, and definitely lack the tools and equipment. We should be teaching kids in high school how to handle situations with major injuries properly so as to help the victim in basic manners without causing further injury until the professionals arrive. How to stop bleeding, CPR, symptoms of shock, how to treat hypothermia and heat exhaustion, etc.
