I (man) saw a toddler face plant in front of me the other day and I was the closest person to the child but stopped myself from helping for this very reason. The parent or family was close enough but instinct was for me to help but chose to override it.

Yeah, I have the same response. I’ve seen other guys hesitate too. A kid I was with face planted and I saw a dad hop up to help, take a step, look at me, stop, look at the kid, then just stand there awkwardly. I smiled and told him the kid was fine, which was true, and thanked him for going to help. Then he relaxed.
