Well, i was saved ones: Two years ago i was on a beach with a lot of whasps, i got stung(?) three times in my neck, and turned out to be allergic. There i got my first helicopter ride, but my i could't enjoy it, since my eyelids decided to go "Doublesize"^^
Bad spelling? Come on im danish...
[QUOTE=Scyze;19855750]Out of curiosity, what else are you supposed to do to help them? Not being snarky, I'd just like to know.[/QUOTE]
Try shouting for help. Really the lifeguard should have been paying enough attention to notice it but you shouting would probably have worked quite well.
He's entirely right though, even lifeguards avoid getting into the water to rescue someone if it's not completely necessary - throw something that floats or a rope before you even consider getting into the water.
[QUOTE=L0LIMB0RED;19852134]Not really, you just helped them live a longer life.[/QUOTE]
Which is basically what you do whenever you save one's life :downs:
Me, my friend and my other friend who was drunk and we were walking down the road on our way home and we were walking so that we blocked the road.
So we see the headlights of a moped and for some reason the mopedist heads towards the drunk friend of mine and points at the moped and asks:
Is that a moped?
And is said "YES IT IS" and pulled him from it's line of direction just a few seconds before impact.
Not exactly but I've talked a friend out of suicide multiple times. I don't think she was ever serious about it but still, it's not easy to talk her out of thinking in such a way.
No
I think (sort of :P ) that I may have saved someone from being date-raped once. I was really drunk at a bar, and found some random unattended drink on the bar, downed it in one... that's the last thing I can remember from that night. Bearing in mind I can usually remember most things from a night of drinking, I thought maybe the drink might have been spiked. So maybe I saved someone from getting their drink spiked and therefore date raped...
...alternatively I might have just been a lot more drunk than I thought.
I saved my dick once
[QUOTE=Dark Kite;19855735]I'm sure a handful of other users have said this, but that's a dumbass thing to do. I'm sure you realize that now. I know it's your friend and all, but there are better ways to save someone than jumping in like that. I work as a life guard and I've had to save people on 2 different occasions where they tried being heroes like that. It went from one drowning victim to 2 before I could even reach them. I'm sure you realize how hard it is to pull one person to safety, but two is more than twice as hard.[/QUOTE]
I would understand if we were talking about a river or any water with a current but I can't see much harm with if it's in a pool, providing the person attempting the rescue can swim and doesn't let the other person hold onto them directly.
I saved my little brother from choking to death with the Heimlich maneuver.
I saved my friend from falling off a cliff by grabbing his shirt just before he fell.
pretty awesome!
I was about half a metre away from being hit by a coach.
I saved a cat from a tree.
I only saved my own life.
A dozen of times.
There's these few times I nearly drowned because one of those huge floating thingies with fatties on them floated over me in the swimming pool.
Then there's this time I touched an electrical socket and released it before the shock was lethal.
Oh I guess, every time I didn't fall while climbing a huge tree.

[QUOTE=Megaz;19858589]What's with all these people near-drowning, is everyone really that bad at swimming?[/QUOTE]
No, it's just that out of the 100's of times I went to the swimming pool, chances are that I'll be unlucky once.
Or those fatties are trying to murder skinny me.
Uhm... there was this day that... When...
I don't know.

oh wait i remembered
I saved my own life while I was drowing ^_^

yeah but the difference is the lifeguard is trained and insured to look after the person in need.
i pushed somene out of the way of a car... then he got hit bythe one coming the other way.0_o
Okay, so it was a dark night and I was walking down an alley when I saw a hot girl coming the other way with 4 guys following her. I knew their intentions. One of them grabbed her shoulder, I yelled "Get out of here you big meanies!" and I grabbed a stick and this grey cat that was rummaging the dumpster next to me. I had some string in my pocket and I tied the cat to the stick by its tail and used it as a flail against those "big meanies" anyway the hot woman wanted to repay me by orgasms. :clint:
I pushed a kid out of the way of a speeding ice cream truck... does that count?

When I was 6 I started drowning, I fell off a dock at a lake and got trapped under the dock. The lifeguard didn't do anything and someone had to jump in to save me.. I think I just killed your point.
Once.
I was on a train, standing in doorway. It was summer, it was damn hot, I blocked the door with my foot so half of it was open all the time. Train stops, people come in and out, train starts, I block the door again and I see a woman springing to my half open door (the train just started and accelerates slowly). She tries to jump in and she miscalculates distance. She makes one step in, hits the closed part of the door with her shoulder and start falling back, into the gap between the train and the station. I can see two very bright dots on her face, it's her eyes opening as wide as possible in dismay, and I see her hand reaching inside the train in last act of desperation.
I grab her by her clothes. Guy beside me grabs her hand. We pull her inside in an instant.
She's in shock. Shaking, without a word she goes somewhere deeper into the train. The guy who helped me pull her in, shakes even more, begs people for a smoke. I just stand there, having adrenaline for blood, thinking what could have happened if someone slower than me would stand in the doorway.
I did the Heimlich on someone who was choking once.
Launched that carrot a clean twenty feet
i once saved a fly that was about to be eaten by our cat
he high fived me and flew away
with me on his back
to magic land
woooooo
Twice, actually.
Once when I was a lifeguard at the community pool this little kid that was taking swimming lessons and was walking around the edge of the deep end some jerkass pushed him in and when he went down he couldn't get back up so I had to jump in and rescue him. The guy that pushed him in tried to run away but I caught him and I called up the police. I learned later that the kid was the guys ex-girlfriends son so he decided that in order to get payback at his ex-girlfriend he'd push her son into the deep end so that he would possibly drown. Don't know what happened after that but I bet he was sentenced for child abuse and/or child cruelty or something along those lines.
When I was 16 and walking down the street in Huntington Beach, this extremely old lookin dude was walking the opposite direction and he wasn't looking so well so I stopped and asked him if he was ok. He fainted and fell down to the sidewalk. I called 911 and rode with him to the hospital. The doctors told me that he had just suffered a heart attack and that he would be ok in a week or so. They also told me that if I hadn't called them no more than 10 minutes later the guy would of probably died. I haven't seen or heard from him since but I did get a Thank You note and like $50 from his wife.
[QUOTE=Sift;19857583]Twice, once was in Oceans of fun with a friend of mine, we were pretty young and he wanted to follow me to the deep end, as I was a pretty good swimmer, waves started up and I asked if he could handle it when they got bigger and he said yeah, waves soon peak at the highest tide and he goes under coughing and gagging and I ended up swimming against the waves and diving under for him, had to get some of the staff hands to bring him back as he was pretty much out cold when I got him to the side, he got up and then said he was strangely hungry soon afterwords.[/QUOTE]
damn, I live like 10 minutes away from there
My friend once started choking on his own puke, after he collapsed on his bed from drinking a bit too much...
Everyone else at the party broke down crying and went across the road, guess who was left elbow-deep in puke pulling him up so he didn't choke?
I then proceeded to mop him up...
Potentially saved the life of my sister after she fell into a scalding hot bath. Though i'm not sure i conciously did it, was only 4.
One gmod player was stuck with my prop.
He was going to kill himself but i deleted the prop.
Does Call of Duty count?
I prefer to think i haven't, and i probably haven't.
