A heart wrenching story........
Air Force Mechanic Saves Life of Air Force Fighter Pilot During Horse-Back
Riding Mishap
Phoenix, AZ, May 25, 2007
An Air Force Fighter Pilot with the 309th Fighter Squadron narrowly escaped
serious injury recently when he attempted horseback riding with no prior
experience. He mounted the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately
began moving. As it galloped along at a steady and rhythmic pace, the pilot
began to slip sideways from the saddle. Although attempting to grab for the
horse's mane he could not get a firm grip. He then threw his arms around the
horse's neck but continued to slide down the side of the horse.
The horse galloped along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider.
Finally, losing his grip, the Captain attempted to leap away from the horse
and throw himself to safety. His foot became entangled in the stirrup, and
he was at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as his head and upper
body repeatedly struck the ground.
Moments away from unconsciousness and being trampled or beaten to death, to
his great fortune an Air Force Mechanic shopping at Wal-Mart saw him. and
quickly unplugged the horse.
