If someone were to tell me this was a stunt and didn’t really happen this way, I would likely believe them. With no indication that’s the case, I have to say this is one of the more amazing videos I’ve seen. A firefighter from Latvia with great hands, strength and impeccable timing caught a man jumping from the floor above. Here’s the translated information from the news site, Delfi:
During the weekend, the VUGD received a call to a multi-apartment building where there was a suspicion that a person was going to jump through the fourth floor window. On arrival at the scene, firefighters rescuers realized that if they were trying to get into the apartment, they would most likely jump over the window.
Thanks to the neighbors’ response, firefighter rescuers could enter the floor in the apartment below and prepare to grab this person in a fall, SUGG indicates. While one firefighter rescuer was waiting for a fall at the window, the other ensured that the interceptors could rescue the falling person firmly.
