Not unless someone was seriously in danger, ie getting their head stamped on while they were on the ground. Just a 1 on 1 punch up probably not.

Mind you, I'm too old for all that shit now anyway.

Yes, I have done before. A man was having a go, shouting, kicking at his girlfriend and she flagged down my car and looked petrified. I told her to get in and took her to nearest phone box so she could call for help and stayed with her as she was distraught.

This was years ago before mobile phones etc.

I regret this to this day.

10 years ago i was at a friends house helping him change a tyre. He lived by a college a fight broke out between two lads we both headed over to break it up after a moments hesitation one of the lads took a punch to the head went down like a ton of bricks unconscious. Ambulance etc was called subsequently we found out he had a bleed to the brain and died.

You keep thinking to yourself if i had got there quicker and my friend feels the same way.

So i would definitely break it up their are other ways to solve issues

Not usually but I was walking past two smallish teenage girls who were tearing each others hair out and stepped in. Probably comes from years of working in a secondary school and intervening. I wouldn't if it were adults or big teenagers. I'm not strong enough and don't want my head kicked in. If I thought it was getting out of hand I would call the police. Too many people carry knives nowadays and I'm no hero.

It's surprisingly common. I'd be more likely to help a guy in a mismatched fight than a woman for that reason. If they are well matched then let them go at it.

There's no such concept as saving a life, only postponing death. You hear about these 'one punch deaths' and if it didn't happen that day then it would have happened in the not so distant future for him.

Some people believe in fate others believe in your death is already written. Their is nothing wrong with that.

However if i can do so something about about a certain situation i will.

If his death was written it may of happened in another way.

Think about the effect it had on other people and i am not talking about myself.

Yes although it's nearly caused me harm a few times.

Stepping between a guy and an ashtray when I was barmaid wasn't my brightest idea but no one else was helping.

I understand why people don't intervene though.

If it's two people scrapping then fair enough but seeing someone getting attacked is hard to see.

If you're not prepared to risk getting punched it's best to stay out of it.

I'm not really talking about fate, just that some people have what we call a 'glass chin'. They shouldn't really get in fights in the first place but they probably aren't aware of their condition. If you have one then sooner or later...

That's unfortunate but who knows what the back story was. I wouldn't dwell on it if I were you. If your aunty had bollocks then she'd be your uncle. There's no real way to know you could have made a difference. You just feel you could have because you're probably a nice chap.

That's true but some people are just biology more susceptible to damage. For example, if you've had concussions in the past (e.g. from a car accident) then a punch can do a lot more damage to you than it would otherwise "
well unless we all walk round with crash helmets on our heads incase someone punches us how would anyone know they could be one of the unlucky ones. A very sad unfortunate tragedy

I have done in the past but feeling a bit too old for it now!

I was attacked myself in the city centre at about 1pm in the afternoon by a bloke with mental health problems (he told the police 'god told him to do it!')...

People just walked past....luckily I got him to the ground before police arrived! If a home match had not been on I could have been stuck there for a while

I'd like to think I would but in reality probably not. If I did I would summons assistance and go in heavy handed.

I most certainly wouldn't get involved in a domestic unless I was in the mood to have both of them turn on me and attack me, which is often the outcome in such matters.

If it's two blokes then I'd give it a miss as it would probably result in getting my own head kicked in. If it were two ladies and the fight was on the lower scale of serious then just add paddling pool and baby oil.

Was abroad in a restaurant with the wife when a guy came in to the restaurant and attacked the owner, picked up an advertising board from outside smashed him over the head with it and attacked him with a pool cue. I stepped in several times, kept pushing him away and eventually he ran off. The restaurant owner took a bit of damage and some nasty cuts and bruises but treated me to a drink and knocked some money off our bill.

Yep, did just the other day.

Some lad started on a old trans woman pushed her she hit him with her hand bag, his mate rushed over and tackled the woman and tried to stamp on her, I dragged him off and held him while others held the other lad.

Everyone mouthed off for a bit then dispersed thier seperate ways.

But it does depend on the situation.

2 d*unk blokes arguing and mabey knocking fuck out of each other, no I'd probbaly not get involved cause its their issue.

unless its one down and the other stamping on him.

2 on 1 or a very unfair fight ie a d*unk fit man going after a woman,trans or elderly person yes.

If you fall straight backward without any attempt to protect yourself (ie unconscious) the speed an momentum your head has when it hits the concrete is sufficient to cause brain injury and death.
