I agree with this. Of course, I am not 100% sure what the question is.
Are you (OP) asking if this person has a "duty" to render aid, or would be justified in rendering aid?
I would say they have no legal duty. I would say that given the strict confines of the "what if" they would be justified in rendering aid.
