As always, if you have an emergency, send for help before doing anything else. At least this gives the emergency people the report and get them on the way. Once this is done, evaluate the situation and decide if the risk is worth your life.
Most injuries and deaths occur to the person attempting a risky rescue and sometimes, the risks are eliminated when others arrive.
