Not heroic, stupid. You have your 2 daughters sitting there right in front of you, and you risk your life for another man who could very well already be dead?

I'm sure it was just an instinctive/natural reaction.

Figures. You're the kind of person who would just sit there and watch the dude get hit by the subway. "Safety in numbers".

There's a mob mentality that exists. The more people around when something like this happens, the less anyone will do about it cuz "someone else will".

This guy risked everything for a stranger. I call him COURAGEOUS, not stupid like you did.

This was very courageous and I'm sure was an instinctive action, however it was certainly irresponsible to his own family.

This has nothing to do with safety in numbers. Its stupid because there is a very very good chance he was going to get killed in front of his two daughters for a stranger, and not even save the stranger in the process.

that being said, the guy has some giant balls.

He basically turned the situation from one guaranteed death of a stranger to a situation where it was death for both, death for either one, or death for none. As they talked about, with 1 inch of clearance (which he would have never known ahead of time, he could have been no clearance), death for none was probably the least likely situation. Basically in poker terms, this was a massively -EV situation. He runner runnered the royal flush to beat quads.
