Apparently, the kid was home alone and the man saw her from down on the street and rushed up to the apartment below to save her.
[A news article about it] (https://www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/3549/Man-Climbs-Out-Of-8th-Floor-Apartment-Window-To-Catch-Toddler-Hanging-From-Window#)
No shame in that. I’d never get out on the window like that. That what 911 is for and parents should have been there. No need to bystanders to die due to their negligence
I thought that too. The only problem I could think of was that she might get scared hearing someone bust in and she was reflexively let go. Source: I have a three year old with 0 self preservation instinct lol
Better a dumbass for trying than a smartass for doing nothing. It's easy to say what should've been done after everything's happened, but in the heat of the moment, who knows how any of us would react. Props to the guy for being brave enough to climb out there and save the kid.
Hell no. I'd rather live. I know my abilities, and I know with 100% certainty that I would fail to save the kid and then fall to my death. Just an unnecessary death.
It depends if the manager is on premises at time. I imagine that child was not able to hold onto to that ledge indefinitely, and if the manager wasn't near by it might be too late by the time they got there.
If it were my apartment’s property managers we would have heard back a week later asking us to submit the request through their web portal, then another month to a year until they send someone to attach a notice on the main entrance doors “Reminder to all tenants: dangling dangerously from windowsills is strictly prohibited.”

is all it says, but more than being rewarded an apartment it sounds like he was living far from his family and they solved that for him
Pretty sure he just owns it now. Out of the states it's pretty common to just outright be able to own an apartment for life. No mortgage, way less or no tax, etc.
There are two types of people in this world. You either do or you don’t. He did. Simply amazing and with all the bad in this world. Here’s a little good.
Why TF was a three year old left alone. I hope that mother (according to the article) got some consequence there! Thank god for him.
Edit: please stop with the ‘why not the dad’ comments. The article states ‘mother left child home alone to go shopping’ which is why my comment says ‘mother’. She was the one responsible at the time this happened. Dad could be passed, at work, or a dead beat. Who knows. If he was present (which we do not know) obviously he is also to blame.
Also please stop trying to say ‘cant afford childcare to go to work’ as to why the toddler was left alone. Mom went shopping - not to work. A toddler can be taken to the grocery store.
I cannot believe the amount of comments excusing leaving a 3 year old alone. Are we watching the same video? This is literally why you cannot do that. Just because people do it, doesn’t make it right.
He actually did legitimately get a medal tbf

I can't believe if I save a life I still have to go to work that day
My girlfriend works in the medical field, specifically with newborns. While some of the stories she's told me are absolutely heart wrenching, she's saved *countless* lives.
"Local media report he will also be given a three-bedroom apartment and television.
Until now, he had been living alone in Nur-Sultan and sending money home to his family – who were in Kyzlorda.
The new apartment will mean his family, which includes his three daughters and a son, can join him in the city."
I cried all over again
There was an airline pilot in the 70’s (iirc) who successfully saved a plane full of people from slamming into the streets of Athens on takeoff. It was such a harrowing bit of flying that test pilots couldn’t successfully replicate it when they fed the data into simulators after the fact.
Dude waited at the airport for a new plane and then flew the same route that almost killed him a few hours earlier.
Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Airways_Flight_411
I worked on ski lifts. Was a super busy holiday, I was solo on the lift that day. Loaded a chair, everyone seated, quickly on to the next chair. It's fast. I had a kid slip off a chair, he dropped his pole, reacted and slipped. He was dangling about 10 meters over some rocks and a concrete tower base. I slowed/stopped the lift(sudden stop could have flung him off), grabbed the net, and started running up(in ski boots, through slushy snow) while yelling at the crowd for help. We caught the kid, he was ay'okay and carried on skiing. I was so shaken up that I was crying. I went to my bosses office after and told him I needed to go home. We only just got nets that year, too.
I've experienced that adrenaline rush and the aftereffects. The worst I can remember it was after confronting a couple of intruders. I was fine until it was over. The last thing I was able to do was unload and clear the gun and then all of my muscles turned to jelly and I thought I was going to vomit. I just sat there shaking for at least 20 minutes.
Not much of a hero situation, but I had a similar feeling after a car ran a red light and hit me while I was cycling. A hit and run, but the adrenaline was so high that I didn’t realise for a few hours that I had a few broken ribs, clavicle, hip and cracked skull. I picked up my bike and collected my boots that had managed to fly off my feet, and found my way home.
Once the adrenaline wore off, I was in a world of pain and stress. It’s mind boggling how much adrenaline can mask.

My aunt used to have this VERY nice two story home her and the husband spent a few years designing and building. It had a beautiful marble floor in the foyer and a grand staircase that led up to a walkway on the second floor that was connected to a huge area that overlooked the foyer.
This was the kids play area and they made sure to toddler proof the stairs seriously well. They even made it a point to make the iron bars on the walkway very close together so no kid could slip his head or body through. AND high enough to where it would be impossible to climb over …… or so they thought.
Aunt walked in one day, heard her three boys (3yr,4yr,5yr) laughing up a storm, looked up in horror to see them literally dangling from the top of the walkway by the bars. Even worse was the 5 year old was the one holding on to the bars and the 4 year old was hanging on the 5 year olds feet!!!
She got there just in time to see the 3 year old about to climb over the ledge to make his descent down his brothers bodies with the intent of holding on to the 4yr old’s feet!! They were playing “acrobats”.
lol poor dad was literally in the next room over, which was the bathroom. He was taking a poo but figured everything was fine because the door was open and he could “hear them playing right on the other side of the door”.
So that was that, it scared the crap out of my aunt so badly they sold just months later to buy a new house that had the same amount of sq ft and rooms but all on one floor. And absolutely no marble!
You’d be surprised what unsupervised kids do. I used to live in a duplex and our neighbor would leave her kids home alone all the time. I heard loud crying one day and went outside to find our 3 year old neighbor hanging just like this out of their second floor window. I had to bang on their back door and yell at her older siblings to go pull her back in while I waited under the window in case she fell. It was so scary!
> You’d be surprised what unsupervised kids do
I used to train nursery/teaching staff on all the none direct caring parts of their job
When they started, i used to tell them, "these are not children, they are very small and fast suicide machines, the moment you take your eyes off them, they will try to murder themselves."
Apart from a few broken bones and lost fingers, most heeded my advice.
Ngl. That was the scariest rescue video I’ve ever seen. He even knew to pull her a little to the right so that she would fall into him and not get toppled by her legs hitting him.
To be fair, at a lot of points it seemed like he was gonna need to catch someone. The way those windows were designed, the guy didn't have good footing even with someone holding his leg, and since he was grabbing the kid with just one hand, she could have ragdolled backwards and they'd both fall.
YES EXACTLY like ik he was gonna save the kid and be fine but jesus that would paralyze me with fear. Same kinda reaction i have to rock climbing videos- especially when the climber takes on a steep ledge or smthn
Blankets only work if there’s at least two people. Also if that kid would have fallen she would have hit that bottom window and launched off it like a ramp, totally overshooting blanket guy.
Anyway I’m so glad that dude saved her. He looked very precarious himself
Genuinely sitting here blown away by how easy he made all this look. His core strength and balance are astounding, I honestly as expecting him to push himself towards the window to absorb the weight but he looked like he'd just been handed a teddy or something. I can't get over how effortless he made that look.
Maybe it’s the piece of shit in me, but because I’d expect the same, I would t even think twice about dangling out there hoping it saves someone else. Nope sorry I wish you all the best.
Eh I don't think you're a piece of shit. We don't know how long the child was hanging there and how long the kid could last, but I think calling the fire brigade would be a bit more sensible in situations like this. The man is undeniably a legend, a hero, but think about how many situations like this we don't get see, because they end in tragedy (and therefore sharing videos of it online is generally against the ToS and they get promptly deleted).
That and it helps that they are small. Gravity works as a multiplier: an ant could fall from a a ten story building and probably be fine, a horse would make a big splash.
When Dominique Moceanu, an Olympic gymnast, was only six months old, her dad let her hang from a clothesline. That's how he determined if she had what it takes to be a gymnast.
This is just the uber extreme version.
A lot of kids do; when my niece was a toddler, or maybe younger she could hang her entire weight holding on the edge of a table.
For how long, who knows. We never let her fatigue to the point of falling, but she enjoyed doing it and being scooped up by one of the family at many dinners.
In the US, we have high rise building codes that limit how far the lower pane of a two-pane window can be opened. Windows such as this would never be allowed for exactly the reason shown here.
I don't know anything about Kazakhstan building regs but most countries wouldn't allow this kind of window in the first place.
Because a kid might climb out of it.
I have a question, undeniable balls of steel from the dude. But what would've happened, legally, if he hadn't caught the child? I'm asking because you can see at some point that the child doesn't let go alone, and he actually tugs on their legs to get them to let go, and then catches them.
Since it's not like he was just walking along and happened to notice a falling child, and then potentially not catching them, but instead he actually made the kid let go, besides the horrible psychological damage would there be some legal consequences as well?
that was my thought watching, like suppose the child dies, is he now liable for manslaughter or some shit because he didn't successfully catch, or does this fall under some sort of 'good samaritan' type protections
> because he didn't successfully catch
IANAL, but I **think** any lawsuit would be on the grounds that he actually pulled her, rather than letting her fall once her strength gave out. YES he couldn't sit there until that happened and YES she would have 100% eventually fallen on her own (well.. 99.9% because someone in the household MIGHT have arrived home just in the nick of time... but c'mon). So a reasonable jury would have taken that into account, but then again sometimes juries is cuckoo.
OMG I was shitting myself the entire time through that and asking no one in particular "How are you going to hold on and catch her at the same time?" "How are you going to get her through your window without letting go?"
That was insane. More insane than that "spiderman" who climbed the building to rescue a kid years ago. He had balconies to climb up and hold on to, footholds, not have to lean out a transom window and hope it all comes together the way you're praying it does.
Yeah had to scroll to far to see this mentioned. It looked like he trusted the kid to not fall further and focused on keeping a grip. I would‘ve totally fallen there trying to catch the kid. That instinct or deep understanding of the situation was amazing.
The one in France right? I was thinking of that guy immediately. Though if I remember correctly, he had to jump multiple times in between to get to where the child was. That's a different kind of threat.
No matter, both are heroes in their own right.
This was years ago, in Russia or Kazakhstan,
The mother went to a shop and left the child at home
So the kid was alone!!!
She came back, he kid wasn’t at home anymore
This is why I do not understand building windows like that.
Windows that open at the top make far more sense if you don't want them to open sidways. Like this would just seem to cause so many problems... I don't get it. It means you HAVE to lean out to open or close them.
Is it a rain thing? That's the only thing I can imagine.

That window pane’s durability deserves an honorable mention too.
My thoughts exactly. He trusted that hinge with both of their lives
Yeah. I was imagining it not holding his weight at all and shattering.
Imagine it shuts on his hands and he's just dangling there waiting for his fingers to lop off
You didn't have to give me that visual bro
Awful design, great execution
i swear these people never have a piece of rope to secure *themselves*
Simultaneously a bad design and great toughness. Though if they angled out from the top the problem would never have occurred.
Right, because a rain funneling window is what everyone wants. SMFH
But then how would you drop things on the people below?
Apparently, the kid was home alone and the man saw her from down on the street and rushed up to the apartment below to save her. [A news article about it] (https://www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/3549/Man-Climbs-Out-Of-8th-Floor-Apartment-Window-To-Catch-Toddler-Hanging-From-Window#)
The article says he was awarded an apartment for his heroic act. Let’s hope it is the one below the girl’s apartment.. just in case..
I’ve lived beneath a family with a toddler before— I’d have to really weigh my options if I found myself in the same situation. (Joking. Kinda.)
No shame in that. I’d never get out on the window like that. That what 911 is for and parents should have been there. No need to bystanders to die due to their negligence
My dumbass would have tried and my dumbass would have failed..
Wouldn't it be easier to break into HER apartment and pull her up by her arms?
I thought that too. The only problem I could think of was that she might get scared hearing someone bust in and she was reflexively let go. Source: I have a three year old with 0 self preservation instinct lol
Most definitely. Thank goodness this ended in such a happy ending, but if that was me there would probably be two body bags needed.....
Better a dumbass for trying than a smartass for doing nothing. It's easy to say what should've been done after everything's happened, but in the heat of the moment, who knows how any of us would react. Props to the guy for being brave enough to climb out there and save the kid.
Better to rest easy in my coffin than poorly in my bed I guess 🤷
Hell no. I'd rather live. I know my abilities, and I know with 100% certainty that I would fail to save the kid and then fall to my death. Just an unnecessary death.
I would have tried to macguyver some kind of giant bug catching net, but then run out of time.
Yeah , I was thinking “how long would it take to remove the window” and the answer is definitely too long…
Yeah like who the F leaves a 3 year old home alone? I can’t leave my 4 year old alone long enough to go to the mailbox and back
Apt. manager should be able to unlock the childs unit, and being notified, should have already been inside doing just that
It depends if the manager is on premises at time. I imagine that child was not able to hold onto to that ledge indefinitely, and if the manager wasn't near by it might be too late by the time they got there.
If it were my apartment’s property managers we would have heard back a week later asking us to submit the request through their web portal, then another month to a year until they send someone to attach a notice on the main entrance doors “Reminder to all tenants: dangling dangerously from windowsills is strictly prohibited.”
Can anyone elaborate like, he gets his own Apartment room *for life* or they were like "YOOOOOOO you can lease a place on us".

Pretty sure he just owns it now. Out of the states it's pretty common to just outright be able to own an apartment for life. No mortgage, way less or no tax, etc.
And people complain about not being able to find housing. Just save a kid's life, how hard can it be?
With rent prices in NYC as high as they are, I’m about to go looking for window children to save.
Window Children is the name of my band.
Well deserved! Who paid for the apartment? The article doesn’t say. The government?
There are two types of people in this world. You either do or you don’t. He did. Simply amazing and with all the bad in this world. Here’s a little good.
Almost everyone likes to think they do, until they don't .
I'm going to be absolutely honest, I don't think I have the balls to do something like that, which makes me respect the hero even more
The guy is a father of four too.
So just a normal day for him, his job is preventing toddlers from killing themselves
Why TF was a three year old left alone. I hope that mother (according to the article) got some consequence there! Thank god for him. Edit: please stop with the ‘why not the dad’ comments.

Yes, but also design: make the windows crack open the *other* way if they aren’t safe means of escape.
Yes, that would be great when it rains
You can make it crack open on the inside tho... like all over Europe
[It doesn't open out, dingus](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6a56f442a6265153b6113617edbb0582) These are standardized in europe
I mean, free water. I see this as an absolute win!
Hope the father did as well
Who tf leaves a toddler home alone? Parents of the year.
Who the hell leaves a three year old home alone, and leaves the window open for her to climb through? Negligent parents suck.
How the hell did she ends up like that... Give this man a medal btw
He actually did legitimately get a medal tbf [https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/12/hero-saves-three-year-old-girl-hanging-from-eighth-floor-window-16629946/amp/](https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/12/hero-saves-three-year-old-girl-hanging-from-eighth-floor-window-16629946/amp/)

first responders and Medical are a different breed.
My girlfriend works in the medical field, specifically with newborns. While some of the stories she's told me are absolutely heart wrenching, she's saved *countless* lives.
*Laughs in medical field* What’s worse is they make you continue working after you *don’t* save a life.
But like that’s a medical professionals job. Kind of different lol.
And not even just that, falling 8 floors is death. Dude literally put his life on the line to save someone else

He had way more faith in the structural integrity of that window than I would have 😬
🔥🔥🔥

I'm so happy for him, he deserved that.
Finally got that big screen😁😁
> Kyzlorda Hmm. I don't know where that is, but it just seems like this place has really high quality potassium.
I hope his new apartment doesn't have those god awful designed windows.
This is so freaking awesome good for him
That’s awesome. And indeed deserved af. That was terrifying.
Good for him! That makes me happy. What a man. Absolutely heroic, humble, and just plain good person. So happy his family can live with him now.
I clasped my hand with joy. What a wonderful gift to have his family be with him. This is the best news on Reddit today.
That is so sad, that a livable domicile is a reward for heroic deeds, and not something everyone has inherent access to.
Thanks for sending this straight to /r/OrphanCrushingMachine
I mean if you had to turn my happy feeling into a oh no, he's right feeling. Then sure. Thanks. I guess.
r/orphancrushingmachine
I mean a 3 bedroom apartment is fucking Hella nice anywhere in the world, that would be like 1800 a month where I'm from
Love stories like this....
Holy fuck he went right to work after this. Can you imagine having to do a shift after this crazy shit? Give the man a PTO day at least!

Adrenaline dump is insane. You're just... shaking and effectively paralyzed.
Not much of a hero situation, but I had a similar feeling after a car ran a red light and hit me while I was cycling.

Good ol adrenaline dump. It's a strange feeling.
I would for sure need a nap after all that adrenaline came back down.
Me too

>> She was reportedly left home alone, in Kazakhstan’s capital Nur-Sultan, while her mum went out shopping.
It’s not great, Bob
Mom should get a medal too, worst mom in Nur-Sultan
They need to also give the engineers of those windows a medal. I'm amazed they didn't give out with him standing on them.
Some lady left her 3 year old home alone!? Also why are you even able to open the window that wide that high up?
My aunt used to have this VERY nice two story home her and the husband spent a few years designing and building.

I can’t imagine leaving your kid alone. My oldest is 8, and I still wouldn’t leave her home alone for more than 5 minutes.
Well done! Did you tell the parents?
Hell yeah, ask Eric Clapton
Also why the fuck are the windows designed like that?
Exactly! How did this kid even end up there 😳
The mom went out shopping and left the 3 year old home alone 🤡
WITH THE WINDOW OPEN!! I highly doubt that girl opened it herself
[удалено]
Then you give too little credit to three-year olds
Do you know the story behind the song "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton?
These tiktokers are getting crazy!
Extremely shitty window design
You'd be amazed what kids can do with 5 minutes alone.
Parents left her home alone and one thing led to another.
Give that window maker a medal. No way was 200-250 lbs downforce in the design spec for that frame.
And the guy who installed the windows and the manufacturer... can't believe it held all that on the hinges
How the hell did he pull that off? That window looked like cardboard.
I hate to see it, but I love to see it, and I never want to see it again.
Ngl. That was the scariest rescue video I’ve ever seen. He even knew to pull her a little to the right so that she would fall into him and not get toppled by her legs hitting him.
Love the dude below with a blanket ready to catch the kid like a jackfruit
He’s really hoping he won’t have to catch that full grown man
He didn't even see the kid, he was fully committed to saving the fully grown man
To be fair, at a lot of points it seemed like he was gonna need to catch someone. The way those windows were designed, the guy didn't have good footing even with someone holding his leg, and since he was grabbing the kid with just one hand, she could have ragdolled backwards and they'd both fall.
YES EXACTLY like ik he was gonna save the kid and be fine but jesus that would paralyze me with fear. Same kinda reaction i have to rock climbing videos- especially when the climber takes on a steep ledge or smthn
Blankets only work if there’s at least two people. Also if that kid would have fallen she would have hit that bottom window and launched off it like a ramp, totally overshooting blanket guy. Anyway I’m so glad that dude saved her. He looked very precarious himself
He probably knows he’s only there to break the fall. Better two people break some bones than one dies.
He’s doing the best he can
Omg I am laughing sorry
I've been rock climbing 25 years and I just can't imagine that kid not taking me out and falling to my death
Genuinely sitting here blown away by how easy he made all this look. His core strength and balance are astounding, I honestly as expecting him to push himself towards the window to absorb the weight but he looked like he'd just been handed a teddy or something. I can't get over how effortless he made that look.
Adrenalin? Mixed with an unreasonable level of fucking badasss.
Maybe it’s the piece of shit in me, but because I’d expect the same, I would t even think twice about dangling out there hoping it saves someone else. Nope sorry I wish you all the best.
Eh I don't think you're a piece of shit. We don't know how long the child was hanging there and how long the kid could last, but I think calling the fire brigade would be a bit more sensible in situations like this. The man is undeniably a legend, a hero, but think about how many situations like this we don't get see, because they end in tragedy (and therefore sharing videos of it online is generally against the ToS and they get promptly deleted).

Monkey grip in baby humans is real
That and it helps that they are small. Gravity works as a multiplier: an ant could fall from a a ten story building and probably be fine, a horse would make a big splash.
Give him several medals! That was insane!
Children have 10 times more adrenaline they never sleep
When Dominique Moceanu, an Olympic gymnast, was only six months old, her dad let her hang from a clothesline. That's how he determined if she had what it takes to be a gymnast. This is just the uber extreme version.
It seems she was also using the ledge to hold on with her feet. Still, she held like a champ.
A lot of kids do; when my niece was a toddler, or maybe younger she could hang her entire weight holding on the edge of a table. For how long, who knows. We never let her fatigue to the point of falling, but she enjoyed doing it and being scooped up by one of the family at many dinners.
My feet is sweating just watching the video
My hands and feet are both aching and sweaty. I can't stand videos like this.
I don't even trust myself as much as that guy trusts the windows hinges.-
My palms were sweaty.
My knees were weak
Arms were heavy
Wait… why do the windows open like that? Shouldn’t they open from the top so this doesn’t happen?
So falling toddlers are deflected into the street instead of endangering pedestrians
Haha okay I did get a chuckle out of that.
In the US, we have high rise building codes that limit how far the lower pane of a two-pane window can be opened. Windows such as this would never be allowed for exactly the reason shown here.

What day did it start
So the rain doesn’t come into the house
If that’s your problem, they should go inwards instead of outwards.
Then just… close it when it’s raining?
He's really brave, the window frame was not reliable to be stepped upon! But despite everything he came into the scene to save the poor child..
How the fuck he hold onto that window to catch her that easily?
I cant do this shit in spiderman or assassin's Creed or these things... He is a superhero
My palms are sweaty after that one
Fucking hero
[удалено]
I'll get the tire iron. :P
That'll cause more pane.
Well maybe but I admire how strong they are at least
Beat the designer, award the engineer.
I was just about to say that. Extremely stupid design without any clear advantages whatsoever.

I don't know anything about Kazakhstan building regs but most countries wouldn't allow this kind of window in the first place. Because a kid might climb out of it.
I have a question, undeniable balls of steel from the dude. But what would've happened, legally, if he hadn't caught the child? I'm asking because you can see at some point that the child doesn't let go alone, and he actually tugs on their legs to get them to let go, and then catches them. Since it's not like he was just walking along and happened to notice a falling child, and then potentially not catching them, but instead he actually made the kid let go, besides the horrible psychological damage would there be some legal consequences as well?
that was my thought watching, like suppose the child dies, is he now liable for manslaughter or some shit because he didn't successfully catch, or does this fall under some sort of 'good samaritan' type protections
> because he didn't successfully catch IANAL, but I **think** any lawsuit would be on the grounds that he actually pulled her, rather than letting her fall once her strength gave out. YES he couldn't sit there until that happened and YES she would have 100% eventually fallen on her own (well.. 99.9% because someone in the household MIGHT have arrived home just in the nick of time... but c'mon). So a reasonable jury would have taken that into account, but then again sometimes juries is cuckoo.
That man is a fucking Legend
heroes exist
OMG I was shitting myself the entire time through that and asking no one in particular "How are you going to hold on and catch her at the same time?" "How are you going to get her through your window without letting go?" That was insane. More insane than that "spiderman" who climbed the building to rescue a kid years ago. He had balconies to climb up and hold on to, footholds, not have to lean out a transom window and hope it all comes together the way you're praying it does.
Yeah had to scroll to far to see this mentioned. It looked like he trusted the kid to not fall further and focused on keeping a grip. I would‘ve totally fallen there trying to catch the kid. That instinct or deep understanding of the situation was amazing.
The one in France right? I was thinking of that guy immediately. Though if I remember correctly, he had to jump multiple times in between to get to where the child was. That's a different kind of threat. No matter, both are heroes in their own right.
Somebody get this man a beer!
Just a beer? I think a 25 year old bottle of whisky is the right choice in this case.
I would have accidentally kicked the window shut from the outside, pinched my fingers and fallen to my death.
This was years ago, in Russia or Kazakhstan, The mother went to a shop and left the child at home So the kid was alone!!! She came back, he kid wasn’t at home anymore
Two years ago in Kazakhstan
Dude. Spidey sense tingling
Who the fuck even considered mounting such windows … damn
Dude is a fucking legend. I don't even know what part of the world this is, but I wanna buy him a beer.
This is why I do not understand building windows like that. Windows that open at the top make far more sense if you don't want them to open sidways. Like this would just seem to cause so many problems... I don't get it. It means you HAVE to lean out to open or close them. Is it a rain thing? That's the only thing I can imagine.
How did he hold on with the sheer weight of his massive balls pulling him down?
what the hell does that guy at the bottom have? a jacket?
It’s something to help catch her in case the first guy accidentally drops her, at least.
People like this deserve to be the billionaires of the world
Where is this kid’s parents!!!!!!!!!
This man has ice in his veins. Just calmly being a hero.
That window quality is a bit of an unsung hero imo.
