Drunk Surfer Saved
In Virginia Beach, Virginia, a man was walking his dog at night when a woman suddenly emerged from the shadows, flailing her arms and screaming at the top of her lungs. Tears streamed down her face as she explained that her significant other had been injured while “drunk surfing” at night—a dangerous activity that, apparently, some people engage in around Virginia Beach.
Despite the urgency, when help finally arrived, they couldn’t spot the victim on the beach. It was pitch black, and visibility was nearly zero. Fortunately, the man walking his dog carried a flashlight, which he used to flag down the EMTs. Thanks to his quick thinking and the light from the flashlight, the rescue team was able to locate the injured surfer, who lived to surf another day.
A guy was leaving work with his coworkers when all of a sudden, he saw a mountain of a man, hunched over, raining down fists on a helpless victim. “Hey! Stop!” he yelled while sprinting to help the poor man. The thug noticed, and like a coward, he fled the scene, bolting into the woods. The guy and his fellow office workers followed, but by the time they got into the dense forest, all they could see were branches, twigs, and moss-covered logs. The thug was nowhere in sight. Fortunately, the guy used his tracking app and instantly knew the thug’s whereabouts. He called the cops, and they arrested the thug.
A guy was crossing the street when he spotted a car approaching him at full speed. Behind the wheel was a distracted driver, glued to her phone and oblivious to her surroundings. The guy quickly pulled out his trusty life-saving device, pointed it at the car, and BAM—the wheels seized up and came to a screeching halt just a few feet from him. This simple item came to the rescue in three different scenarios. But what exactly was this life-saving device? It was a quality, high-lumen flashlight. This flashlight flagged down first responders at a pitch-black beach, revealed the whereabouts of a thug who had assaulted someone, and, when shone directly at the eyes of the wrong driver, forced her to slam on the brakes, preventing her from hitting a pedestrian.
