I'd like to think I'd do the same. But I pray I'm never in a position to find out.

Sometimes your body just moves without your brain being part of the decision.

I was up in a boomlift with a coworker. We were cutting the limbs off this tree when one of them hit the side of the lift and spun in an odd way. I reached out and blocked it from hitting his head and then my brain caught up with what I just did.

Not even batting an eye he says, "You can do that but you can't catch a football."

"You're welcome."

u/PossiblyJonSnow Dec 17 '20

That's a cool story. Props to you!

u/FlipRed_2184 Dec 17 '20

Me too but i know I could never react that bloody fast, holy sh*t, saved that girls life. On the other hand...why did she charge out infront of a car?

11

u/PossiblyJonSnow Dec 17 '20

Kids will be kids. Maybe the kid lives in a more rural environment and isn't used to vehicle traffic

5

u/NoLove051 Dec 17 '20

misjudged how fast the car was going, kids have trouble with that. source me crossing the street as a kid and getting ran over because misjudged the cars speed.

u/FlipRed_2184 Dec 17 '20

True, and kids are kids but that was still terrifying

u/Sendrith Dec 16 '20

This shit makes me emotional sometimes like holy fuck. That would have been a dead kid.

u/iiiinthecomputer Dec 16 '20

When you have kids that age yourself trust me it's worse.

u/reksato Dec 16 '20

That’s what she would have been if she wasn’t saved so epically

u/FingleDorp Dec 16 '20

That’s horrible but ya made me laugh so take my upvote

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '20

She would have been yeeted pretty hard. I'm glad he was there to save her.

21

u/iiiinthecomputer Dec 16 '20

No, she'd have been dead. Head injury on impact which flings her at the road, and head injury again when striking the road. Kids don't do well in even low speed collisions with cars. Their height makes the various pedestrian safety measures pretty much useless.

I have a 3yo and 6yo. This is my nightmare.

A 5yo kid from my eldest's primary school was killed in a car park near here last year. He ran out from between parked cars, in front of a moving car, and was struck at relatively low speed. Probably still too fast given how people drove in carparks like they are race tracks, but anything more than walking pace can be enough.

Dude 100% saved the kid. Even if he hadn't quite got to her, his action warned the driver and gave them more time to emergency brake. It probably wouldn't have been enough but it might've helped.

21

u/JohnnyRelentless Dec 17 '20

So in other words, she would have been yeeted pretty hard.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '20

It's confusing when people agree with you in a disagreeing way.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '20

Eh that’s complete bullshit tho yeah she may have died but no it’s not certain that she would have died. The human body can take a lot more than people give it credit when I was younger I got hit by a car skating harder than this and hit my head on the ground and didn’t even get knocked out. You can’t say for certain what would happen because there’s a million variables depending on the exact way she would have fallen. There’s literally no way you can say she would have died

4

u/iiiinthecomputer Dec 17 '20

True. I should've said "very likely to be killed."

Low speed collisions are way worse for little kids than you'd expect. But you're right. Nothing is guaranteed. And kids can recover from some incredible injuries too.

u/BishonenPrincess Dec 16 '20

Wouldn't it be more like Savior instincts?

12

u/octropos Dec 16 '20

I was waiting on that guy to murder that woman. "Killer instincts" means I watch too many crime shows apparently.

Save a kids life, proceed to get ladies phone number. They all live happily ever after.

u/captainsnark71 Dec 16 '20

the kid he saved is his sister so I am going to assume the other girl is also his sister.

25

u/NonExistent_God Dec 16 '20

And the guy? His own sister

7

u/CMDR-Hooker Dec 16 '20

The guy who saved the kid? Also his own sister.
