If I were in the guy's place, I would expect bystanders to try to evaluate my condition. I've been through things like that enough to know that I can't safely evaluate my own condition without a few minutes passing. I'd sit down and take my helmet off, and rest for a while. If people were around me, I'd talk to them and see how I felt. If I were alone, I'd try to decide if I felt fully aware and conscious, and go from there.

Since this guy didn't know better, I think the people with him should have looked at him in the eyes and firmly told him that if he rides off, he could pass out and get hurt worse, and that they'd like to sit with him for a few minutes to see how he feels then, see if his pupils are equal in size, etc..

Of course for all we know the guy might have been drunk, for example, which caused the crash in the first place, and he wanted to get out of there before anyone figured it out.
