Good Samaritan

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
For the longest time I hadn't known what the Good Samaritan law was (in america meaning basic legal protection for those who assist a person who is injured or in danger) until I came across it in a book. That very day, I walk into history class and out of nowhere we begin discussing it and the teacher asks "who knows what this law is", and myself, having found out literally hours was very surprised as to how this conversation randomly started up.
