RE: Sucking venom from a snake bite? I think not.
Often panic will freeze a person from being able to act
This happens to me all the time. It even happened when I was one on one with an oncoming vehicle.
It's actually quite common. Unless someone is conditioned to take the right action then they probably won't do so. Soldiers are conditioned for various scenarios, blood and gore for one, and so in battle react accordingly. In civilian life people typically are only exposed to extreme scenarios in an emergency and so act inappropriately. That can be rectified though. Being prepared is everyone's responsibility.
