    WOW that is an incredible save. That Firefighter timed that well. Obviously the suicide jumper was jumping from one or more floors above them.

    His back probably sounded like a zipper, as well!

    I agree!! I can't stop a baseball rolling across a field and he catches a person falling past him out a window!

    The jumper will likely sue him for ruining a perfectly good suicide. "He didn't save my life, he ruined my suicide!"

    That is amazing! He must have been running on pure adrenaline and/or been incredibly strong.
