have you every done this, I have and it was a quick reflex thing that went unoticed and unseen by many with no after heroics. In Tenerife with the wife and daughter we were around the pool and as I was wading back through the pool after a quick swim there was a young child I am talking 2 - 3 ish and all I could see were legs kicking up from a rubber ring with her head under the water. I swiftly turned her the right way round and put her on the side... no parents to be seen and she went skeetering off but otherwise ok. Nothing was ever said, I noticed the parents around the pool a few times more but always seemed close and think it was one off where they probably took their eye off the ball for a minute. I am certain had I not spotted her she could of drowned.  |

Yeah same here in the long hot summer of 76 I noticed a fish splashing in the shallow puddle. I managed to reach him just in time and get him into deeper water. Noticed him later and his mum and dad were swimming pretty close by.

Sorry Babs, nowhere near as good as yours. I'll let you have some karma as soon as one becomes available. Especially now your complaining about lack of said karma  |

I saved Salop's missus life once by removing my knob from down the back of her throat.
Nasty fucking business I tell thee.

I cant say I saved her life as I`ve no way of knowing what would have happened but I did help a young lady who was clearly struggling with the tide in the sea. She`d taken that much water in she couldnt breathe, she was in a panic and couldnt swim and the tide was taking her further from the shore ( and before anyone asks, no I didnt tell her I needed to keep my finger in incase she sank ). Ironic thing is, shes a local girl and years later we went on to detest each other  oh well.... |

When I lived in a dodgy estate in East London, I was woken up early one morning by the sound of a woman screaming. My girlfriend made me go and see what was what, we thought she was being attacked. I pulled on a pair of jeans and made my way down the stairs, under the canal bridge was a woman and a dog in the canal, I got them out (the woman and the dog , not her tits) and noticed an empty bottle of vodka on the path. At this point 3 Irish builders came running down the tow path to see me in only a pair of jeans standing next to a soaking wet woman lying flat on her back  I thought I was about to get the kicking of my life, when one of them said "oh Annie, not you again" |

I stopped a woman from being run over once, dunno if she'd have been killed, but certainly seriously injured.
I was sat in the middle lane at a padestrian crossing that was green for the cars, lanes 1 n 2 were solid and stationary, but lane 3 was empty, and i saw this woman crossing in front of me reading a book, a quick glance in my mirrors told me a car was coming down lane 3 doing an easy 30, so i just tooted my horn, she jumped in shock, stopped just before stepping any further, and the cars wing mirror ripped the book from her hand.

You've just reminded me I once stopped on the way into Crewe to let a guy across the road in the pouring rain. He thanked me, crossed the road never looking in the opposite direction and the car coming the other way did an almighty emergency stop lifting him up onto the bonnet of the car Fortunately he was OK but I would never stop to let a pedestrian cross the road again. |

Part of a team that did so many times at work I'm proud to say, couple of times away from work too. I just think people should be taught a decent level of first aiding mandatorily at school, it would be so simple and would certainly save lives. Even a few fish probably ;D

i managed to pull George bush's finger off the big red button and saved the world, apart from that plenty of kittens that needed saving and the odd woman from an Austrian cellar.

Can you wear your nurse outfit for me Addi?
And I don't think I've said a life, but I stopped a 15 year old girl getting raped.
Me and a mate were walking home from school, and Natasha(the girl) was by the shop, she started walking up the street on her own, and we saw this proper dodgy 50yr old-ish man follow her. She crossed the street, he crossed the street. We followed him/her and then we ran around to her. We didn't really know her, she was mega fit though, and we told her this guy was following her. He'd been following her for a good 5-10mins, we came up to this point where there was an alley on the right. We pretended to leave her, and go straight on, and she went right, the guy went right. We quickly shouted down "Tasha, your dads here with your little sister, he wants a word" (it was next to the Willows Primary, so we just made that up) and then she turned back up the alley after walking about 5metres, so she was still in the open bit, and he just walked straight on.
We probably didn't do anything, but we thought he was following her quite seriously.

Helped at 3 car/bike crashes
Held somebodies scalp together after he'd been smashed over the head with a big glass ashtray in the pub.
Deep lacerations a couple of times.
Some bird had an almighty panic attack-which I managed to sort out.
I'm a nurse and can't force myself to walk on when I see something happen.It drives the wife mad.I always say I hope that somebody would stop if it was me in that predicament.
