<div dir="ltr"> There are numerous teshuvot that discuss the priorities in cases of triage and mass terror attacks.<div>I have never seen a posek use the mishna in Horiyot in these cases. The normal psak is that one begins to save the person with the greatest chance of surviving for a long time (hayei olam).</div>
<div>Once one begins saving someone then one cannot stop in the middle for another person.</div><div>I have seen from Rav Zilbestein that perhaps one should first save a person that all of Israel needs (in the gemara like Yoav).</div>
<div><br></div><div>In theory one need not put ones life in danger to save someone else. I suspect (dont have anything immediate) that if ones job includes saving other people than this doesnt apply.</div><div>Think of a lifesaver at a beach who refuses to save someone because there are high waves. Of course one has to act with common sense. Even a life saver doesnt jump in when the chances of drowning are greater than the chances of saving the other person.</div>
