Note they said MAY REDUCE not ELIMINATE. How many times have we heard of the ultra fit athlete dropping dead from a heart attack. It's not as simple as exercise and a healthy diet. If you are in a neighborhood that has an AED and are in the unfortunate situation of needing it to save your life you can thank the neighbors that had enough sense to contribute to this life saving device. And yes, if it is in you neighborhood and you haven't contributed they will still come to you aid. Personally I would feel like the biggest schmuck on earth to be in that position. But the good news is I would probably be alive to suffer those feelings.
