I think that the chances of you being raped, robbed, or killed were miniscule and your chances of helping someone in need were huge--as your experience bore out.
I'd do the same myself and if something serious ever were to befall me, that would be a shitty way to go out, but I'm willing to 'risk' it every time.
Maybe one way to look at it could be, how would I feel if I hadn't stopped and helped the lady and then I read that she had been raped, robbed, or killed. Then I'd really feel like shit, whereas I wouldn't feel anything if I were killed.
