Some truth here, but not all of it. You took the wrong lesson from that experiment. It's true that you must make sure you're taking care of yourself before you take care of others. But this does not necessarily mean in a materialistic way. Because on that same note, tons of people out there who have lots of money also have a scarcity mindset. That's a fact. A mindset of abundance comes from your perspective. You can have this even when poor.
For example, the people who helped the man when time was short were the ones who knew deep down that everything would be ok no matter what. They knew that even if they failed, thats ok, because there will be more opportunities. They know all will never be truly lost, so they were able to focus on the more important thing. Whereas most people have a scarcity mindset, focused only on completion or winning, and therefore forget the more important things.
Overall, the ones that did help the man have a true ABUNDANCE MINDSET. They maintain their patience through anything, even time constraints. The percentage was so small because this mindset requires humility and self-examination, which most people refuse to do.
