Skibearbumm
#1 that lady must be freaking the fuck out not knowing that dude saved her dog. for all she knew that dog just had its neck broken.
UncomfortableTruths
The leash and the harness weren't the same item, though. Pretty sure it'd have just torn off before the dog got seriously hurt. However -
UncomfortableTruths
the dog could get hurt from the fall once they were separated. So either way, good on that guy.

What was #7? Did someone jump into a marsh to save a drone?

Get your clothes wet to save a few hundred bucks? I'd do that too.
Thethingfromtheshadows
Even more so if it was one of the pricier drones. You'd be saving well over a thousand then.
clem585
Tbh, he was a bit slow. Why didn't he give himself a little jump?
Flyndaran
Maybe he couldn't see exactly how deep the water was. You don't ever jump without checking first.

Better ones cost as much as a small car, or at least could've when that vid was taken. Hell yes I'd run after it.

Drones aren't all $200. I think that one was likely quite a nice model.

Looks like it's looped more than once around her wrist, though I can't be sure.
samsonguy920
Would have been too late once the doors were closed. That was one of those leashes with the handle and not just a loop to hold onto.
OSCgal
It's hard to tell. I thought maybe it was an extendable leash, but now I'm not so sure.

Dunno for sure, but she probably did. The inner set of elevator doors probably was what pulled the pup up.

Ok, driver's rushed or pissed, rattled realizing the near miss, pops the clutch or lets off brake & rolled bkwd down hill into parked car.
bisqwit
Car in reverse when should be fwd. Driver panics thinking car is sliding backwards, floors gas to "fix" it. Finds brakes. Fails gear change.
Chemeli
Maybe he/she knew she/he had that much space to move so they took advantage... But too much, and when near the car, panicks, makes a mistake
lastminute
I agree, heavy on the gas. The downhill slope isn't overly obvious till they let off the brake while their car is uphill of the parked car.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
yeah but if he would have been in fwd then he would have smashed right into the truck
bisqwit
Only if I they planned to drive forward at maximum speed. They only press the pedal when thinking the car is sliding backwards.
bisqwit
Alternative theory: They did two mistakes at once: Thinking gear is in neutral (is reverse) and thinking they press brake (they press gas).

Looks like the blade bound between the trunk and the stump, he should have let go of the saw. Instead he hung on, pulling him off balance.

Hands off the motor, chain stops immediately. If he falls into it worse case is a cut. Works like a lawn mower. Cmon people...

SaintPoop
I wonder if the leash or the bones of that poor pug gonna snap first if the lady kept holding on to the end
LiquidMilk
Even if the leash was to snap, the pressure would be too high on the dog. Pugs have a history of eyes popping out from pressure by leashes
ijustwantmycatandmycouch
I hate flexi leashes! We see shit like this all the time in the ER, dogs get seriously injured from flexi leashes.

So what would be better in this case?
MooseKisses
Short leash that they cannot wonder farther then your side
shorr
But you can do that with flexi as well?

Sure, until you forget to lock it or it malfunctions. I find it easier with a short leash, more control and no pulling during the walk.

A fall from that high hurts like crap no matter how you fall. She also had her arms out to catch her and Ive seen too many dislocated elbows

Broken arm isn't "terribly wrong" compared to others almost dying in this album.
TurtleHurdle

LackingIngenuity
It was an amazing catch yet for some reason the cheerleader appears to be not just ungrateful, but pissed.
2016Politics
Looks like the spotter may have hurt himself? If so, the cheerleader he caught didn't seem to care. :-(
Looboob
He didn't hurt himself, his shoe came off his heel and he's pushing it back on
2016Politics
Ah, ok...I wondered about that but wasn't sure. Thanks!
2016Politics
No wonder the cheerleader didn't seem too concerned about it if he just lost his shoe. Faith in humanity restored! :-)
Anonamus1
Maybe pissed that they dropped her and they lost points or just at they dropped her and almost killed her...well injured her
ImTheOneWhoTookYourRug
She looked like she was just trying to get up and back to her mark. He has probably caught her dozens of times in practice.
TheNextMsFrizzle
They're competition spotters They've probably never met. Its their job to catch us and sometime we act mad cause we fell but they're amazing
Gwynbleidd21
I get mad when I hurt myself. I think it's a natural reaction.
NootBoii
Username checks out are there really over 860 cheerleaders?
greenpig
It's her weight dude
2016Politics
Also, the other spotter is completely inept. "Oh, ummm...did, did you want ME to help? No, ok, I'll just stay out of the way, over here" lol
Gwynbleidd21
If both spotters had run to catch her, then things could've gone horribly wrong.
2016Politics
I'm aware of that....it was more the look on the guy's face and his body language, not the fact that he wasn't first to rush in.
2016Politics
The better of the two spotters saw what was happening and was already in motion to help before the girl was in freefall, he anticipated it.
2016Politics
The other guy was not anticipating things as much and was more reacting as things happen, making him too slow to have saved her.

What exactly did he do, curious if I'm ever in that situation. Was he carrying something sharp or did he snap the leash?

He unclipped it
BlueGodBalmung
It looks like it snapped when the floor of the elevator reached the top of the door.But still,he reacted fast and tried to help, that's what
BlueGodBalmung
is important.
OSCgal
I'm pretty sure he unclips the leash with his right hand. I walk my cat on a harness/leash, and I recognize the hand movements.
whatfloatsyourboat
thank you!
ChromeEagle
We don't know that. Looks more like it simply broke, considering his hand was grasped well above the release.
OSCgal
Looks like the release isn't next to the harness, and he unclips it with his right hand (left hand is just hanging onto the leash.)
WayLatetotheParty
Watch his lower hand though. He's struggling to get it, then slides it down and voila

ethanhawkeye
By the looks of it, he kept going as the parent seemed to be chasing him; bad parenting or no attention span, that was too close a shave.
Thingamajiggly
Here's an honest question then: why do parents and other people buck against the thought of toddler leashes? I think they're a great idea
NonConformistFlamingo
Because whinypants crybabies like to scream that they're degrading to the child and treating them more like animals than humans. 1/
NonConformistFlamingo
There are also asshats who say that if you can't control your kid without a leash then you shouldn't have one. "JUST HOLD THEIR HAND" 2/
NonConformistFlamingo
They say. They ignore that constantly holding a tiny hand is not only inconvenient but also unrealistic. Sometimes you need two hands. 4/
NonConformistFlamingo
Personally, I'm all for kid leashes. Keeps them safe and lets mom or dad have their hands mostly free. It doesn't damage the kid at all. 5/

Which is why they make ones that buckle in back now LOL. Hers had an Elmo purse on the front. She loved it.
Penguinsandbroadswords

Face blind parent. Meh, close enough; they all look alike.

My problem was more with the mom that is slowly running and carrying her purse. That shit should be on the ground and full sprint mode

it's not like she could have made it to save him.. she seems to be pretty far away and when she arrives the cars have already stopped

It looks like she is sprinting towards the gate, and slows down to turn towards the road. Then slows down further when the kid isn't killed1

She looks to be heavily pregnant, which would make running difficult. Hard to see tho, I'm on mobile.

If she is, why did she give her kid a scooter to use near a busy road in what clearly is not a housing area? Thats begging for Darwinism.

Exactly! Like no biggie, he's good.

Are we sure that's the mom and not a nanny?

That light trot, my god. That's your baby!

abso fucking lutely . She is a lazy twat. Almost seems like she didn't give a fuck.

I remember catching a toddler before he ran out onto a main road, once, the mum was like "oh. there he is. thanks" like, really??

I probably would have cussed her out.

I feel you ! My worst holidays was In a Club in Spain, with drunk parents resting and their toddlers running unattended around the pool !

You should've thrown the toddler at her face saying "Yeah, really.".

I back handed my daughter, two at the time, by reflex, when she bolted towards the street.
CObullUshitGH
Yup.

I'm annoyed with her too, but it looks like the kid was relatively safe by the time she saw what was happening.
CObullUshitGH
That black truck might not have seen the kid. He wasn't relatively safe.

Kids do not understand danger. The scooter should of been left at home. All it takes is one distracted driver and your kid is gone.
kaiseritz
Not even distracted, sadly sometimes even being vigilant it is too late if a kid darts in front of your car...
binkyboo
Are you kidding? I would have been running at full speed. That is one cunt of a mother
Therearetoomanyusernames
I second this statement.
GR3453m0nk3y
What I'm saying is that it's entirely possible that the mother turned the corner and saw the kid standing safely on the other side of the
GR3453m0nk3y
street with all the cars stopped. No immediate danger = no full board sprinting. But yeah she definitely was still taking her sweet time....

I think the term is " becoming complacent" and thats something you should NEVER do when you have kids. Always be vigilant.

Small children are surprisingly innovative about finding ways to kill themselves.

I nearly got arrested, everything turned out fine. he's 5 now. And I wait HOURS to go to sleep now, and have a inner door alarm. 4/4

took them about an hr to figure out where he lived (he was a bit slow to talk at that age still). I was terrified and confused. 3/4

Someone even made a game out of it. It's called "Who's Your Daddy?".

Which was, incidentally, inspired by a silly Tumblr post. No relation to the post, just a fun fact.

that little fucker figured out how to undo the door bolt, the dead bolt AND chain, was out for approx 45min before a neighbor saw him 2/3

when my kid was 2, we went to bed @ the same time together. 7pm woke up at 9pm to a cop banging on my door with my kid in his arm. 1/2
