Say hello to Penny Assman, a true patriot and warrior! Rest up, the first beer is on us!!!
Hat Tip: ADN and Seward City News
HOLY COW. I’m just stunned at the heroism of the lady who broke her fall. Who does that? The bravery, the quick thinking, the selflessness. My GOD. She just went under a falling person on those sharp rocks and knew to break the fall?
I’m moved to tears.
Wishing Penny a speedy recovery! What an incredible story!
Her actions alone have restored my faith in humanity! I was seriously moved when I read this story and it still brings a smile to my face thinking about all those who helped. It would have been easy to duck out of the way, and honestly Penny would be in far worse condition today.
Seriously! It’s so cool to see this kind of valor and selflessness. I wonder if Penny would be alive if not for that break in her fall.
Reading more into all of this – the org that runs the race sounds like quite the CLUSTER.
I could go on and on about this story! Just looking at the timeline from when she initially fell? 12:50:53 when she slipped and fell down over the rocks and 12:54:44 on a backboard to an ambulance, seriously? Four minutes in those conditions? Amazing!
I’m going to post this vid tomorrow:
Thought you might like to watch it now 😉
Amazing. Utterly amazing!
I love everything about this story! Very inspiring and moving.
Hey there! Just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog. This story was so inspiring, by the way! She’s very lucky that help arrived so quickly.
