Delay the game, find out situation.  He was at hospital and alive.  Suck it up and finish game.

I mentioned this in another thread, but if we hit a car or person with the train, we can take 3 days off. I know from personal experience that when you think someone is dead, or HAVE THOUGHT IT during the incident it has a negative impact on your ability to do your job moving forward. I didn’t realize in the moment how much of an impact it had on me when I (mistakenly) thought kids in a car we hit were dead. Even though it turned out ok, the rollercoaster had taken its toll. It wasn’t until I got back to normal after a couple of days that I realized how dazed I was by the incident.

Think about this. If Hamlin had never got up in the first place, would the game have continued? At that point we all would have thought initially “he’s knocked out”, then learned he needed to be resuscitated. Did the shock of seeing him get up and then fall have a great impact?   Of course it did…
