#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.

I knew the guy was doing something terribly wrong. What was it in this case?
Child0fEye
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.
DaFunOne
Hands off the motor, chain stops immediately. If he falls into it worse case is a cut. Works like a lawn mower. Cmon people...

Not all tools have a dead man's switch. Also, hopefully your hand isn't on the motor at all unless you want burns.

davezo
When the door closed and the dog slipped past it I thought that we were home and safe. Oh how I was wrong
RevolutionOnHerLips
When the dog started going up I almost started crying.
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
liquidbeef
I can't watch any more past that first one. That was already too much for one day.
XZorbys
I bet she held on to the leash and tried to pull the dog up with her, it was no accident
ijustwantmycatandmycouch
I hate flexi leashes! We see shit like this all the time in the ER, dogs get seriously injured from flexi leashes.
shorr
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?
MooseKisses
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.

WHY DID THE LADY NOT LET GO OF THE LEAD
OSCgal
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.
CalvinBryan
Dunno for sure, but she probably did. The inner set of elevator doors probably was what pulled the pup up.
ImTheOneWhoTookYourRug
What was #7? Did someone jump into a marsh to save a drone?
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.
kevinallover
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.
nthimguruser
The dude really gives out a 'ugh I'm gonna have to go in there...' - look before he climbs in

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

Phantom. $800-$1200ish. Depends on model.

IIRC, he's filming cranberry harvest with a drone and it starts coming down over the ditch instead of the road. Jumps in to keep it dry.

Oh. He was a different guy in a similar situation. I'm sorry I didn't realise.

On second thought, judging by his baldness, Id assume he's way older.
critterfluffy
Actually I had a friend in high school who was completely bald. He was a cheerleader too. Used to go to bars at 16 since he wasn't carded.
HoldingAccount
Yes, but I think she would have been fine without them. At least it wouldn't have gone "terribly wrong".
TheNextMsFrizzle
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
Flyndaran
I know someone that broke his arm falling from a single foot up. All falls are dangerous.
HoldingAccount
Broken arm isn't "terribly wrong" compared to others almost dying in this album.
TurtleHurdle
Doesn't make their issue any less terrible.
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

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

That black truck might not have seen the kid. He wasn't relatively safe.
MooseKisses
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.

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....

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/

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/

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.

My child was like that, and I put a leash on her. I'm not sorry either, she's ADD, there was no training her.

As a child runner (as away at any given chance) I will be 100% leashing my kids

Mine has a leash and it's much better, except she refuses to speak any language but Dog when she is wearing it.

Tieing ropes around kids waist used to be very normal
Penguinsandbroadswords
I have 5, had to use leashes with 3 of them. They are like animals, some you can never teach well enough to keep them 100% safe when little.

Better an animal than a vegetable.

I worked with a kid that ran a into a cornfield across the street from the school and we had to call 911 and it took 2 hours to find him.
blueberrycupcakes
cornfields are scary
gamblingpoet
Yup. When we called his parents (after calling 911) they said "Oh god not again" Apparently they forgot to tell us he was a "runner"

Sounds like a fun game of Marco Polo

According to a story my mom likes to tell, she turned around for five seconds and when she looked back, I was holding hands with 1/2

some stranger like halfway across the square of an amusement park. 2/2

??? Abduction attempt??
DrBee
Eh, maybe? I dunno, don't remember. Mom did get me back quick, though, and they were VERY careful about such things afterwards.
Flyndaran
Face blind parent. Meh, close enough; they all look alike.

My mom tried to put a leash on me when I was a toddler. Apparently I looked at it, looked at her, took it off and handed it back to her.
Melanisia
Which is why they make ones that buckle in back now LOL. Hers had an Elmo purse on the front. She loved it.

I'd feel so bad for the guy who had his car parked there.
Chemeli
This one always baffles me...

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.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
yeah but if he would have been in fwd then he would have smashed right into the truck
bisqwit
Alternative theory: They did two mistakes at once: Thinking gear is in neutral (is reverse) and thinking they press brake (they press gas).
bisqwit
Only if I they planned to drive forward at maximum speed. They only press the pedal when thinking the car is sliding backwards.
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.
