I don’t know, being narrowly saved from a rip current by my old man sure was cutting it close

My dad caught me, hanging backwards over the edge himself, by the ankle as a toddler when I decided tipping backwards off a small bridge would be more fun than enjoying a juice sitting on the edge with him.

My dad was working on his van, and i had apparently found my way into the drivers seat, and somehow got it out of park as my dad is under the back half, he managed to get up before i basically tried to reverse over him, he somehow caught and held the truck instead of just getting run over, keeping me from just drifting into active traffic after smooshing him.

So he managed to prevent me from killing both him and myself at the age of 3

Honestly, I should be impressed. But I gotta say, that's too young of an age to be a dad.

That's a good one. I once almost walked right into a speeding truck.

Similar to me, but a really fast bike, i was about 8 or 9. Barely missed the really fast bike going in front of me by a fingers length

I’ve been there. My older sis rescued me from one when we went on holiday. I think if I didn’t have a bodyboard attached to me I may not be here today.

One time while I was three I would have still been underwater at the bottom of a river had a 7 year old not noticed I got nudged in by a dog, 20 metres away from the rest of the group.

Mum still reckons it's the most scared she has been in her life.
