Brave man. Hope he recovers OK
I guess he will as he had the strength (mental and physical) to save himself.
Oh my, that certainly was brave and heroic (he saved a life).
He's made the news in this part of the world!
My sons reckon that is soooo gruesome but he must be a
very brave guy. (Also some sick kid humour was mentioned
-they are 9 an 10 after all- but I'll spare you all that...)

That's an amazing story. I don't think I could ever do that, and hopefully, I will never be put in a position that would make me decide.
This one made the news over here too . In the words of MM that guy's got some big stones 
. I think if some people can get them selves out and some people can't . I hope like crazy I would be able to do it .
