Let a downed player be revived without the countdown to death running on

A downed teammate has a few seconds before death and a helper needs a few seconds to revive. Who wins when both end on the same frame, and what happens to the revive bar when the helper is knocked away? This entry answers both with clear rules.

Why this works

Helping someone should never be what kills them. While a helper is working, the clock to death waits, and when the helper is pushed away the work fades and the clock runs again. If both end together, the save wins, because the player earned it.

When not to use it

Skip it in solo games, where nobody can help, and in harsh games where being downed should mean real loss, such as a one-life mode. There, let the fall be final or give the player a single self-revive item.
