Ever saved someone's life?

Question

Like from a potentially fatal accident? etc...

Answer 1

I just stopped a person to comit suicide.

Answer 2

Pulled a drowning kid out of a Panama Canal shipping lane in 1977 while I was in the military. Good thing too... he was about 3 minutes away from getting sliced and diced by the screws (propellers) of a Maersk container ship... that wouldn't have been "potentially fatal"; if that kid had ever gotten sucked into those screws, fatal would have been a forgone conclusion. That's why I went in. I couldn't let that happen.

I also worked as a cop and saw a perp draw a bead on my partner with a shotgun, who never saw it coming. Shot said perp 6 times (excessive, but so what! By the time I could have even yelled "FREEZE OR DIE, DIRTBAG", my partners life, and mine, would have been in serious jeopardy.) My partner lived, and I lived (perp never even squeezed his trigger). If my life and his life cost some scumbag perp his life, so be it. I wouldn't change a thing.

Answer 3

I once stopped to help a young lady who had run into the divider on a freeway, I had just gotten her out of the car, and away from it, when I turned around an a guy who obviously didnt see all the traffic in the other five lanes, het her car, and me! luckily for some reason I wasnt hurt too bad, but the other two good samaritans standing near the girls car suffered a brokent hip, and the other a broken collar bone. Funny thing is I was actually hit by the car that refused to slow down/stop, and the girl and me were the only ones who could walk away from the accident. really weird.

Answer 4

Yes my mom, Ieaving work one cold evening I decided to take a cab instead of the bus which would have taken me at least a half hour to reach home, taxi 5 minutes. When I arrived home my mom was standing in a door way holding onto the walls and gasping for air, with-out taking off anything I grabbed her and began the hymlick maneuver, she was 250 lbs. at the time, me 110 lbs, my first 2 jabs did not work and I could feel her falling, with all my strength I did it one more time and POP out flew a walnut, she was home alone. If I took the bus I'm sure she would not be with me today. =)

Answer 5

I don't think so

I've been saved though, at least 4 times

maybe I did, in the city sometimes somebody is lying in the snow, I call 911, andd say "he will need the hospital or the morgue, not sure which won, so maybe I did

Answer 6

My own.. I am a crazy rider met with three fatal accidents so far so decided to be careful.

Answer 7

when I was a kid my sister and I went to a babysitter's as our parents worked and this one day I woke up and heard the fire alarm going off I went through the upstairs and nothing looked down the stairs and seen an orange glow where my sister was I went down there and seen the kitchen was on fire everyone was still asleep and I had a very sore throat and couldn't scream my sister was probably only 1 so I grabbed her and started hitting the babysitter til she got up and I tried to scream fire but it just came out like a whisper and then I went to the door and opened it so my sister wouldn't breathe in the smoke the babysitter was able to get her kids up and everyone got out the house safely.

Answer 8

I saved my playmate's life when I was 13 (I'm a late bloomer I started playing outside when I was 13!), he was 7 years old back then but unfortunately we both almost die because I saved him from drowning without thinking that I don't know how to swim...
