Ineffectual gawking

There must be a set number of people in a crowd present to "help" that signifies another person can continue on their merry way without stopping. If I see someone who has, say, fallen off their bike, and there are already sixteen or so people standing around, and the situation is very clearly well under control, I don't think I'd be helping too much by stopping to stare.

PS - How many do you think? Twelve?
PPS - Of course there has to be someone clearly handling the situation.
