I consider myself a wuss too when it comes to me taking risks. Nope. No extreme sports for me ever. I'm a coward, one who doesn't like at all to be in closed, confined spaces and who doesn't like to be high up nor flying either. But I do drive bloody fast on German motorways *snerk*
However, still wuss, so hat off to you lot.
The closest I come to life threatening situation is other's life is in danger. I'm a First Aider, so nothing major, but well, I am what it says. The first one. The one who has to somehow not think and deal with all the blood or the shock or the screams or the no-pulse-no-breathing.
Have seen a few things and there is nothing in this world better than the sight of paramedics who take over.
Still, I get the shakes after something happens. Last time an accident happened right in front of me I dealt with the casualty everything was well, I didn't even get any of the copious blood onto my fine self made linen and lace shirt and then... *shakeshakeshakerattlerattle* long when the paras had taken over.
Delayed shock, happens also to those who are not directly hit. Whenever I see an accident or a commotion or anything I pray 'please please please Gods do NOT make me have to help' because I am frightened.
Someone to die under my hands? Oh my Gods. Please not. Please.
