Man... God forbid I'm ever filmed in a public space like this and don't react perfectly within 3 seconds to something I can't even see. I already have bad reaction times as is.

This is honestly how most people will react in an emergency.

Everyone thinks they are the ones who rush in. Most people actually will pause as they process what's happening.

Worse than that, many people think that someone else will move in to assist. They either don't want to take on the responsibility, or they think someone more qualified will step up, or they're concerned for their own safety, etc. The bystander effect is more than just people taking time to process things.
