What should one do upon witnessing a boating accident?

  1. Ignore and continue on their way

  2. Capture video evidence

  3. Assist anyone injured or in danger from the accident

  4. Immediately contact a lawyer

The correct answer is: Assist anyone injured or in danger from the accident

Upon witnessing a boating accident, the first and most important course of action should be to assist anyone injured or in danger from the accident. Providing assistance in a life-threatening situation should always take priority over anything else, including capturing video evidence or contacting a lawyer. It is important to stay calm and assess the situation to determine the best way to help. Ignoring the accident and continuing on one's way is not an appropriate response and could put lives in danger. Capturing video evidence may also be helpful, but it should not be the main concern in a potentially dangerous situation. Contacting a lawyer is not necessary and should not be the first action taken in an emergency situation.
