You are a better person than me for sure. Unless I saw a really worried look on someone's face I don't think I could go out of my way to say hello to someone in case they needed help. If asked, I'll do my part... but that's about it.
By the way, it sounds like you've had some terrifying experiences Nyororin! I'd imagine that some of that behavior stems from the "Jackass" mentality. For the record, I do (or did back when I was a little younger) enjoy Jackass quite a bit... but I couldn't handle that stuff in real life. I wonder if the average foreigner who does that stuff in Japan would have the guts to pull those kinds of stunts in their home countries?
