In my opinion - a reasonable person would flee. I have no obligation to do a lot of things that I do anyway, because I consider myself to be a reasonable person.

Like - if someone abandons their shopping cart on a windy day in the parking lot and I see it rolling fast toward a car - and in that split second I estimate that I can reach that cart and stop it without breaking my stride or detouring - I'll go ahead and stop the cart from rolling into someone's car. Because I'm reasonable. I have no obligation to do that, but I'll do it anyway.
