helplessly

to observe a bad situation, unable to intervene or help

to be in a flat position, unable to get up or move

to laugh without being able to stop

to tremble uncontrollably due to fear, cold, or strong emotion

to watch something happening without being able to do anything to stop it

to look for a long time at someone or something, unable to help

to be carried along by a current of water or air, without control

to hold on to someone or something tightly, often out of fear or desperation

to raise and lower your shoulders to show you don't know or cannot help

to make a movement with your hands to show you cannot help

to wave your arms or legs in a wild, uncontrolled way

to laugh in a silly, uncontrolled way

to be held down firmly so that you cannot move
