I can imagine them talking about how their certification lapsed and that they were unable to do anything.
I know that if any certification I had suddenly lapsed, I'd immediately forget everything I learned.
BTW, this has got me very irate!
Police and firemen in Alameda, California watched a man drown on Monday after realizing they did not have proper certifications for water rescue, leaving them open to possible lawsuits if they attempted a rescue.
Under California's Good Samaritan statute (Health & Safety Code §1799.102), those who act in good faith to provide emergency care at the scene of an emergency are immune from civil liability.
