@@ilovfood In modern society, there is something called the bystander effect, meaning, if there is a large group of people watching someone being attacked or even dying, they assume someone else will jump in and do something, so they just watch and do nothing. Cell phone recording has taken this form of insanity to a whole new level, "devolution" of human consciousness. You are right, it's more than sad, it's horrific.

I think it was just a coincidence, not a God send. Have you read the Bible? God is a cruel, vindictive character. He even promised a gift of land, but made the people go to war for it. That's not a gift, is it?
@@Well_possibly im not religious but according to the bible god already gifted you the planet and your life and body. besides he doesn't give out gifts like that. he demands extraordinary sacrifice. from abraham when he almost had him kill his son (messed up, seriously) from moses when he had the people wander 40 years in a desert, from noah when he had him build a huge boat, from lot who had his wife turn into salt, and even his son jesus had to endure savage torture and a full evening of being taunted by the devil. and finally from the israelites who he commanded destroy the enemies of israel so that it would prosper. many times he genocides people like the people in the flood, like the people in sodom and ghomorra and finally the canaanites (i think it's the canaanites who the israelis slaughter?)
@@basteagui "(God) doesn't give out gifts like that. he demands extraordinary sacrifice." You're helping support my comment. Anyone reading want to explain why the Promised Land is called a gift, when it clearly wasn't?

This is how we need to treat each other!! Step in to help when someone is in need. Life is fleeting and can be taken from us in a second.

What a beautiful soul! Thank God, for people like you and for putting you at the right place, day, time, to do a miracle in the strenght of The Lord! Wow! Be blessed young man!!
No, it was just a set of totally natural circumstances that happened to coincide. Imaginary friends don’t exist. Magic isn’t real. There is only the natural world, and there is only good evidence of the natural world. There is not a single shred of good evidence for anything other than the natural world. It’s time to stop believing in primitive fairy tales and superstitions that are so foolish and silly that young children regularly see through them.
Jesus Fried Christ - ??? Where did I say magic is real? I’m sorry life has been so awful to you to have made you so hateful and cynical. You’re in my prayers.
Stu Str - I disagree. Based on the vitriol in his reply, he equates a faith in God with belief in magic. In actuality, they are vastly different things. That was no figure of speech.
Super cool! As a MTB'er my friends and I have been hurt many times over the decades. It's at these moments that you see what you and others around you are really made of. After a crash nobody laughs until we know the person is ok. I would be proud to call this guy my friend and he can ride with me anytime.
Slackliners sit many times.....even bouncing wildly, going from sitting to standing over and over, flying over 5 feet vertically. Plus the downhill slope of the cable may have made it a little easier for him to scoot along. I'm not saying it wasn't amazing, because it was!
God saves so few. How many die per day around the world of lack of clean drinking water alone? If God were good, wouldn't he inspire lift designers to make seats that can't allow a person to dangle like that? Couldn't God have moved the victim to buckle his backpack?
@@Well_possibly You're just trolling anyone who makes any mention of Him. Though he is always there, He is only visible to those with eyes to see - that is all you are experiencing. I know that doesn't make much sense to you, but maybe I can pray for you.
@@erikadelgado206 horrible things happen to people that are religious as well though. the other poster had serious questions though, isn't it good to be skeptic of things?
@@Iris-fp4uk I don't understand your argument. @well possibly was leaving these kinds of responses on at least 5 different comments that I saw - one or two is mere curiosity and 5 or more becomes trolling. Why do you, or anyone, believe that they are entitled to anything, whether it be God's protection or anything else? The fact is that God does not owe anyone anything. Human beings are to blame here - don't blame Him. I don't believe God has the power to simply end all suffering - and if he did what would you have him do just zap out ALL evil from the world? He would kill us ALL off because we are all sinners in one way or another... you don't get to choose which sinners get to stay.. The fact is our suffering is a direct result of our own actions. Sometimes we suffer for the actions of other human beings, yes. And we do believe that sometimes He does intervene, yes. However, I think this is done for a much larger purpose than what can be explained here. I think there are many legitimate reasons for the existence of suffering, such as being a catalyst for growth and development. How can one grow and learn to be compassionate without witnessing or experiencing the opposite? Eastern philosophies and religions understand this - as ying and yang. Again, why some people think we are entitled to pick and choose is beyond me. It does not make some atrocities RIGHT - but do not blame GOD - blame MAN. Okay?
I just didn't realize that religion was supposed to be some kind of protection from evil and suffering. I always understood religion to be a guiding source to understanding ourselves, the world, and the experience of suffering. It is a framework with which we can develop as human beings to our fullest potential and highest good.
Guy, u r a real hero with a broken hand u pulled off an incredible rescue that's a gutsy move as a former USCG RESCUE SWIMMER I take my hat off to you. U got to love a quick-thinking friend with balls of steel...wow, ur the real deal.

I have seen many people on chair lifts wearing back packs and felt that it was really risky when they are not properly attached.
Smart people take their packs off and hold them on their laps. Backpacks also push you forward enough so you're sitting on the edge of the chair.
Time to start asking people to put them in their laps or make sure the lift operator handles it correctly.
I think this guy waited his whole life for this moment to shine! He was at the right place at the right time.

He didn't, obviously. He rappelled along the cable, with legs wrapped over it.

@@Well_possibly You're just trolling anyone who makes any mention of Him. Though he is always there, He is only visible to those with eyes to see - that is all you are experiencing. I know that doesn't make much sense to you, but maybe I can pray for you.
@@erikadelgado206 horrible things happen to people that are religious as well though. the other poster had serious questions though, isn't it good to be skeptic of things?
@@Iris-fp4uk I don't understand your argument. @well possibly was leaving these kinds of responses on at least 5 different comments that I saw - one or two is mere curiosity and 5 or more becomes trolling.
Why do you, or anyone, believe that they are entitled to anything, whether it be God's protection or anything else? The fact is that God does not owe anyone anything. Human beings are to blame here - don't blame Him. I don't believe God has the power to simply end all suffering - and if he did what would you have him do just zap out ALL evil from the world? He would kill us ALL off because we are all sinners in one way or another... you don't get to choose which sinners get to stay.. The fact is our suffering is a direct result of our own actions. Sometimes we suffer for the actions of other human beings, yes. And we do believe that sometimes He does intervene, yes. However, I think this is done for a much larger purpose than what can be explained here. I think there are many legitimate reasons for the existence of suffering, such as being a catalyst for growth and development. How can one grow and learn to be compassionate without witnessing or experiencing the opposite? Eastern philosophies and religions understand this - as ying and yang. Again, why some people think we are entitled to pick and choose is beyond me. It does not make some atrocities RIGHT - but do not blame GOD - blame MAN. Okay?
I just didn't realize that religion was supposed to be some kind of protection from evil and suffering. I always understood religion to be a guiding source to understanding ourselves, the world, and the experience of suffering. It is a framework with which we can develop as human beings to our fullest potential and highest good.
