It was pretty gutsy thing to do knowing so very many people are out to kill him. Anyone with a gun could have come along and recognized him. I would have been scared to death to show my face knowing the hate so many have for him - people knowing they will be worshipped/memorialized for life if they take his. Getting out where others could see his face was brave as all get out, let alone helping people out of a vehicle that could have begun leaking gas and burning at any time, for all he knew. Any time one puts one's own life at risk to help others, particularly children, qualifies a hero.
