In Seoul, a woman attempting suicide by jumping from the 20th floor was saved when a bystander grabbed her by the hair and held on until help arrived.
The man has more balls than I. Knowing myself, I would have been creeping up, trying to talk and distract her. Nah. Homeboy just jumped and made it happen.
Ok that dude is hardcore.
That shit HAD to hurt like hell.. for both of them.
Did she change her mind? Kind of looked like she was hanging on for dear life, and then willingly climbed back up with help, rather than resisting it.
It's usually done under influence - not drugs, but the high of emotions, self-talk spiral, setting one's mind to it, etc, to overcome the will to survive. A sudden shock can break it all down. And that kind of shock she had, and pain, and danger, would make one default to instincts and either climb out yourself or follow the command of others. She was probably unavailiable for a hour or two after it happened, still shaking and afraid of what happened and what did not.
"It was at that moment immediately after jumping from the bridge that I realised that all of the problems in my life that seemed so severe and so unsolvable were actually not so, apart from the fact that I had just jumped off of a bridge."
I don't remember where this quote is from, or if its fact or fiction.
Saved? More like torture.
thank God someone was there
I hope shes doing better now
That's tough to watch.
