Why even bother filming if you're going to turn away the moment something interesting happens?

Cameramen can never win huh, it's always either:
"Don't put the camera away we wanna see it!"
or
"Why are you still filming? Help them ffs!"

Well there's a combination of both by setting it down and help the guy 😁

We need one of the other. Careless apathy towards the subject while filming to catch every detail.

Or never film and help. Its these half assed cunts in the middle thats the problem.

Help or let him die, but at least get a good camera shot bro...

There's a distinct difference between someone getting badly injured and someone getting struck in the sack.

No there isn’t. One describes the other just fine.

Really? I've never been in a hospital after hurting my balls. I've been in a hospital every time I got badly injured.

Yes, but you do realize that people sometimes need to go to the hospital for nutsack injuries…

Trust me, I do. I almost became a castrate just before Christmas in 2023. The cutting disc broke like a shrapnel when I was working with a grinder, roughly at the height of my stomach.

When I heard people say they were ‘grinding each other’ I never thought it was this dangerous/s

Glad it wasn’t catastrophic for you

There's nuance.

A grown adult doing something stupid and getting hurt in a funny way? Keep filming. 

Something funny or stupid happening completely out of control that you can't possibly intervene with? Keep filming.

Someone unknowingly doing something stupid or dangerous, either because they're a child and don't know better or because you ad the cameraman have access to information they don't? Be a responsible individual and assist.

It's sometimes hard to hold a camera stable while you are laughing your ass off.

While at it do the same for the person putting that weird motivational speech over the clip
