If you saw a kid crossing the street and a big truck was going to run the child over would you dive in front of the truck to push the child out of the way even if you knew it meant certain death.

I don't know a single soul who can answer that question flat out right now honestly. Of course they're going to say yes, its the right thing to do. But, no one can predict there actions in a time of panic. I'm sure that there would be some hesitation, and such a hypothetical question desereves a hypothetical answer.

Absolutely !!  HELL I screeched my truck to a stop and got out to help a women who had fell on the sidewalk on some ice !  I then drove her to her destination and called the city and told them to get some "icemelt" down before they get a lawsuit!\n\nI have helped numerous people and will continue as long as they are in my sight !!!  It makes me sick seeing others just pass these people by!  I am a true believer of "do unto others" and the golden rule!  If you had fallen near me I would of been all over you making sure you were ok !\n\naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah life is good when I pave my own way!

My husband amd I are truck drivers, and we were taking the split from I-380 to I-84 in PA and it was snowing lightly, it was a sharp curve and an SUV speeded up in the curve, there was black ice under a bridge and the SUV started skidding, it went from the right lane to the left and was going around and around. Then it hit the shoulder and bounced back hitting our trailer tires on the left side.\nWe stop in the  right shoulder and I quickly called 911, we didn't know if the person was ok.\n\nWe start walking toward the SUV and pick up also skids right in front of us, I froze but my husband reacted quickly by pushing me and jumping away from the pick up, because it was coming in our direction. It missed us by 2-3 feet.\nI've never been so scared, right then and there I had one of my panic attacks. The guy from the SUV was ok, thankfully. \nWe had climb up a mountain, and in the next half our 6 more cars had crashed with each other due to black ice under the bridge.

I would. \n\nLike tonight, there were fire ants in the house.  I was picking them up and my 4 year old son said "Don't! You'll get bitten".  I looked at him and said that I would rather get bitten than have HIM get bitten because I love him.  His little mouth started quivering and he started sniffing and he gave me the biggest hug ever and said that he loved me.

The truck, please.  All of them would cause the same damage, but you could sue the truck driver. ;)

No, but nearly had my head taken off by a clothesline.  Riding a dirt-bike in the yard, didn't realize foster-mom had strung a line between the orange trees, saw it a half-second before I hit it.  Had just enough time to raise up off the seat, causing it to strike me across the chest and upper arms instead of the neck.  Snatched me off the bike quicker than lickity-split too (and left a nasty welt as well).

RACING SHOULD ONLY BE DONE ON A RACE TRACK. THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES THAT MAKE THE STREET RACING YOUR TALKING ABOUT WAY TOO DANGEROUS. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU KILLING YOURSELF LIKE SOME OFF THESE OTHER PEOPLE DO, YOU MADE YOUR DECISION. I CARE ABOUT THE INNOCENT PERSON WHO ISN'T RACING IN ANOTHER CAR THAT YOU BLAST. YOU'LL FEEL REAL BAD, MAYBE EVEN SORRY. BUT THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE.

Don't just tell them "this is how it is because mommy says" make sure they know why. If they know the consequences of their actions they are more likely to act safely. EX: Don't cross the street with out me (but mom look at that dog, it will be gone before you cross!) ........why? because you can really get hurt that way if a car is comeing. Look how fast those cars are driving by, it would hurt terribly to be hit by one.

Yes most definitely.  I would never renounce the Lord even to save my life.  I would expect my child to not renounce the Lord either.

Okay....I had to go back and find your original question.  Which was, for all you other answerers, briefly this:  Her friend was struck by a truck while he was in the crosswalk crossing the street.  That impact threw him into another vehicle.  The friend was injured.  If I understand correctly, neither driver has insurance, and one is now claiming her friend is at fault, and has even implied that her friend is/was suicidal.  Whew!  After all that, here's what I know, backed up by seven years of law enforcement experience:  a pedestrian in a crosswalk has the right of way.  The driver's at fault.  That may be small comfort, and it may not help your friend to collect any money to help pay his medical expenses, but there you have it.

Yes , it MIGHT be dangerous , I MIGHT be an Axe wielding maniac , who knows?\nI for one , know i am not dangerous , unless some people consider helping others a bad thing.\nYou have to trust your instincts , if you feel it could be a dangerous person , it would be best to "back off".\nThere are many "wolves in sheep's clothing" in this world and it can be hard to trust anyone , even someone you meet on the street.\n\nI may be wrong , but are you refering to me?\nIt's up to you to decide.

My honest answer is quite selfish. I think it would be easier for me to kill another person. Then again, I have never had such a terrible challenge and I'm not so willing to find out which option I would choose from experience.

I was pushed VERY HARD out of the way of a car when I was 16.  There was no one around me, but something I couldn't see shoved me off my feet just in time to miss an oncoming car.  I don't know if it was an angel or what, and I don't care what it was.  It was divine intervention and that's all I need to know.

Yes when I was only 13 years old I saw a kid almost get hit by a car. I will go into more detail.\n\nThe scene:\nI was walking down the street when I looked over and saw a smaller kid in the middle of a busy intersection and an adult man on the other side of the road with his back turned to the kid. I also saw a car that seemed to be out of control headed towards the kid. I was to far to do anything, but the man wasn't.\n\nThe miracle:\nFirst I foresaw this man running and grabbing this kid before the car could hit him. That is exactly what happened.  \n\nThe miraculace thing about it is that there was no way that the man could have seen the kid with his back turned before he started running towards him; he just seemed to have stopped in mid step and turned around running towards the kid.\n\nThis was the first time out of many that i seemed to have been able to either see the future or kind of alter the lines of destany. I eventually became a Wiccan (witch) due to these kind of things happening to me, but I'm not anymore. I am now all religions.

A fireman. It's my dream to die saving others. What better death could a person want? Praying to Jesus? Jesus would be rushing in to save the baby, not praying in vain. God helps those who help themselves. Picture it, saving an innocent baby from a burning building.....or dying trying. I would be HONORED to die in such a manner.

Sure, I could ... but I'd probably cry and cry and cry ... then get shot by someone ... hmmm, I guess this may lead to me changing my answer to:  No, 'cas I'd get shot.
