Jumping Man With Child Rescued With A 'Kung-Fu Kick'

The incident happened in Xining City, China on October 16. Fire crews were called to the scene in the mid-afternoon, responding to calls that a man was threatening to leap following family disputes.They found the man sitting with his child on his bedroom window ledge in an emotional state, and quickly arranged a cordon, placing an inflatable cushion at ground level.

Two firemen - one an abseiler - then went to the other side of the building, and practiced what would prove to be a life-saving moving., An hour after the incident started, the two-man team was ready, and went to the room directly above the man's bedroom., And then, in a smooth motion, the fireman jumped from the seventh-floor room, perfectly judging the distance so that he flew into the room with a flying kick that sent the man and his child tumbling back into the bedroom.
