Sounds like an over officious security guard is the issue here. I can tell you that in the USA most states have laws against interference with police/fire/EMS personnel. Those law apply on private property too. It's sad when people allow their need to inflate their own egos to come before attending to a seriously injured human being.
If the guy is going to prevent the helicopter from landing, whats to prevent him from denying ems personnel access to the property also? It's common sense. The security geek obviously had very little. If you read the article, it's clear it's all about the guards ego. I'm a bit disappointed that the air crew didn't have the cajones to stand their ground, do the right thing & render aid to a seriously injured victim. Only a total meat head could fault them for that.
