"Cialdini was in a car accident in a busy intersection. He was very disoriented and bleeding badly. He realized that if he did not get help soon, he would bleed to death. But cars are slowing down and going by, no one is stopping. Cialdini recognized the parallel to the classic experiment and realized he was about to be deemed OK by group consensus and left to keep bleeding profusely. He managed to make eye contact with one driver and called out, “Get an ambulance.” And he knew the key bit was to get one person to take his situation seriously; the others would follow."

From the original blog entry: "We caught him in mid-flight before it got out in traffic and I somehow managed to not get bitten or ripped open by his claws." I would not be so brave
