As an instructor who has stood next to students in situations like this I can tell you that there is nothing I hate worse than getting handed the radio of a plane pointed straight down, going 150 mph, and 20 feet from the ground!!!!!

Things like that are a quick way to upset people and turn them off from helping out again. Do them a favor and use the buddy box if you're going to ask for help.
Just my 2ยข worth.
