I haven't heard about the 4 foot per person rule either, but I agree that you need someone there for anything over 8-10 feet. That person also needs to know what to do if anything happens, not simply a person.
I got bit in my left hand by a 14 foot burm years ago. The guy that was with me freaked out and wanted to go get me a towel, in the mean time the burm was trying to wrap around my waist, her cage was waist high. I told him to keep her off me while I dealt with the head. Once she let go of my hand, after about 5 minutes, I grabbed her head. He let go of the snake, to go get a towel. Now I have a 14 foot snake by the head and she's not too happy, but he wants to get a towel to clean up the blood. I convinced him to help me get the snake back in the cage first, then we cleaned up the mess.
It's funny now, but I realized the importance of having someone there that knows what to do and not freak out.
