Have you ever saved someone's life?

My sister loves Life cereal. So I saved her the last bowl the other day...

Yeah... I stopped hitting the guy!

But seriously, yes I saved a young boy's legs and life when I was a counsellor at camp and it was one of those crazy adrenalin rush things. We were out on a hayride with the 7-10 year olds and the hay wagon lost a wheel out in a farmer's field. The wagon tipped over and people were sliding off. I got the adrenalin surge because my mom and grandma were on the ride and also, when I slid off the thing and looked down one of the boys was pinned under the axle that got broken off. It was just below his butt right across his legs. Without thinking about it I bent down and picked up the wagon. I then started telling people what to do, told someone to grab the kid between my feet and help mom and grandma off the wagon, and then get everyone away from it. When everyone was off the thing, 5 counsellors and the ride owner came over and told me they'd hold the wagon so I could step away as I had my back to it. I looked to either side and when they were sure they were ready I stepped away. They couldn't hold the weight. I then hoofed it the 2.5 miles back to the farmhouse to call an ambulance. The ambulance was there in minutes and followed me as I ran back to the wagon. Later they told me that the boy would definitely have died if I hadn't picked up the wagon because of how long it would have taken to get a vehicle to remove it from him.
The owner was pale as a ghost when I got back, partly out of guilt but also partly out of fascination, he said "That thing weighs at least 2,000 lbs and you picked it up by yourself!"

Yes, Many, but I cant take credit.. It was Gods plan.. I am just the instrument..

Unfortunately, loosing even one weighs more than saving millions...

yes but i was working as an EMT for MedLife Ambulance and it was my job.

Yes I did,I think I might have wrote a story about it, A girl was fliiping out on some drugs and wouldnt let anybody hold her,and she was naked *tmi* lol and then I stepped in and was able to calm her down and hold her to the ambulance came lol This is a little too much but its worth sharing lol:]

technically yeah, my army buddies had a machine gun jam...and the enemy was just standing there taking pot shots at them while they fix the machine gun...you're not supposed to fire your weapon when your buddies are in front of you... but i had a clear and open shot at the enemy so i lined it up and shot them...

. then i had to go speak with the head sergeants and had to dig a poop hole in the ground...

it was all an mock battle, but technically i saved my team mates even if it was against the rulebook...in war u gotta do, what u gotta do...

Maybe not, I have taken a life, but from this point past, I don't know what good effect my being here on earth has been, but there was a girl who helped me out of the water. I had drowned as a child, full on drowned, I went out of my body, personality thoughts emotions, all of it, I still had it. An angel came, tall, serious, sword at side, told me that I could choose to die or live and be born somewhere else, I asked where, it pointed, I looked in the direction, and said no. Long story short, I went back into my body, unable to move, the girl who saw my soul hovering above the creek came and grabbed my lifeless arms and when she did, power went from her to me that enabled me to move again, I helped her help myself out of the water, as soon as my nose and mouth broke over the surface, the Lord forced my mouth open and water came out like a pressured hose. No physical problems whatsoever, never needed medical assistance, the camp councilors weren't even aware, though one of them asked me why I was so pale, I told her that "the water was cold" she didn't seem entirely convinced, how could you tell someone you died when you are alive to tell the tale. I don't put any faith in reincarnation. I must be alive for some reason, my life has been spared on more than one occasion, and that is an understatement. God is good!

Yes one day we had an actual fire at the college I was a student we all rushed outside I was one of the last until I couldn't see Caroline a friend of mine. stupidly I rushed back in and this fire was big I could easyly become a victim but was determined to get her out. I grabbed her and put her over my sholder I took her outside the staff carried her away then I collapsed I don't remeber much but I woke up 14 days later in a hospital bed with a bandage around my head and 2 members of staff. they kept telling me to get sleep and asked them about Caroline they said that she was fine. I drifted back off and didn't return to college for over 2 months my injuries were bad but not perminent. I also remeber caroline coming up to me and giving me a kiss and said thank you.

I don't remember anything else.

When I returned to college I went to reception and many students started clapping at me I had never been treated like this before in my life and I felt just incredible that something like this had happened.

There was a group climbing the pinnacles which rise to about 1000 meters at the peak. I was climbing on my own but joined this group of climbers with their guide. I was enjoying the view of the pinnacles from above. There was a guy in between me and an elderly lady. The lady wanted to get across to my side but the guy was standing in between. So, she took another way which was mossy. I think it was a bad idea. Before I could stop her, she slipped in between the pinnacles and I quickly rushed to her side and tried to pull her up but she was rather heavy. The guy beside her just stood there and watch. I expected him to give a hand since whatever shock he had must be over in a few sec. No one else came to help. I supposed they were still in shock and watching the scene. The lady managed to climb out with only some minor scratches to her thigh where her pants were torn. Some did offered to first aid after she got out of the ordeal. My back and right arm was excruciatingly painful afterwards. I didn't say anything or complain about it. The lady doesn't seem to be grateful for the help I gave but she was rather embarassed that it happened. I had to visit a chiropractor a number of times for the pain to subside. I do wonder if I should be like the others. Not rushed in to help when I'm not capable to do so and injuring myself in return. It came as a shock that people don't always give a hand right away when others are in need especially since the guy was an Australian ( I guess we can't stereotype people). I suppose I need to be more assertive and verbal to make changes. I can't stand people who just stood and watch when something bad happens to other people. It's so cruel and unkind. Why can't they feel and perceive to do the right things?

one of my best friends was walking and talking on his cell phone, I grabbed him and pulled him out of the way of a car going 60MPH
