Why do you, or anyone, believe that they are entitled to anything, whether it be God's protection or anything else? The fact is that God does not owe anyone anything. Human beings are to blame here - don't blame Him. I don't believe God has the power to simply end all suffering - and if he did what would you have him do just zap out ALL evil from the world? He would kill us ALL off because we are all sinners in one way or another... you don't get to choose which sinners get to stay.. The fact is our suffering is a direct result of our own actions. Sometimes we suffer for the actions of other human beings, yes. And we do believe that sometimes He does intervene, yes. However, I think this is done for a much larger purpose than what can be explained here. I think there are many legitimate reasons for the existence of suffering, such as being a catalyst for growth and development. How can one grow and learn to be compassionate without witnessing or experiencing the opposite? Eastern philosophies and religions understand this - as ying and yang. Again, why some people think we are entitled to pick and choose is beyond me. It does not make some atrocities RIGHT - but do not blame GOD - blame MAN. Okay?

Did you just call me or Jesus a dumb fuck? Oh I guess me, since you also just called me a fucking idiot. But you responded before doing what I TOLD you to do...shame on you. Perhaps you will understand one of these days.

I have seen many people on chair lifts wearing back packs and felt that it was really risky when they are not properly attached.

Smart people take their packs off and hold them on their laps. Backpacks also push you forward enough so you're sitting on the edge of the chair.

Time to start asking people to put them in their laps or make sure the lift operator handles it correctly.

You are a true hero. You layed down your life to save a friend. God bless you

Wow!! That guy deserves national recognition for his heroism!

The perfect bloke to have around if it wasnt for that bloke the other bloke hanging was gone or a vegtable hanging by the neck for so long waiting on ambos or rescue theres no better person than him his mate was lucky he was there in that situation with no equipment there was none better

See guys, that Creative Arts major wasn't a waste of money after all!

I like how they casually add the fact he did this with a broken hand. Legend.

The hero’s friend looks like a Hemsworth brother

What are the chances a slack liner would be around just when his skills were called for?!

Little miracles around us every day of our lives.

What miracle? It was skill, bravery, and clear, calm thinking.

@@Well_possibly You have not heard the two men talk about the different things that came together to make the rescue possible. In addition, skill, bravery, and clear calm thinking can all be present during miraculous happenings. Your lack of faith makes it no less miraculous.

Wow everything in place for a miracle. Only when your purpose is finished are you out of hear. Purpose is what we do daily.

I think this guy waited his whole life for this moment to shine! He was at the right place at the right time.

Slack Lining doesn't make you ANY money, just wanted to clarify that.

I’ve been called a slacker a lot.....is that close?

Wow! Talk about being at the right place at the right time with the right skills. Well done my man!

Climbed a wire with a broken hand, tried to kick him and when that didn’t work caught a pocket knife tossed to him from someone on the ground, caught it on the first toss and cut his buddy loose and saved his life. 🤩
