Most of the kids don't even care. They're not looking or just continuing eating like nothing is wrong
He was like, “I’m a HERO!”.
Most people think its like a joke or anything but i have seen people literally died from choke. He owes his life to his friend
My sister almost died choking on a piece of steak at the dinner table …she stopped making noise and my mom was panicking asking if she should call 911 while im screaming HEIMLICH!!!!!! and my step dad stepped in and gave it to her 😅 I knew what to do but im glad my step dad understood the assigment 😅

He Wanted a Hug 😭
Bro got backshots
Why this isn't taught in schools?
That lad will reach places..that presence of mind and skill
I saw someone who had just died from a piece of candy getting stuck in their windpipe because nobody knew what to do. I was with a fire fighter and trained EMT in the next room so someone came asking for help but we got there too late. A whole room of adults watched. Recognize the signs of choking and learn the Heimlich maneuver!
Don't get all choked up about it
I just did this moved and helped a 3 year old. Every body must learn or at least see this a time
I did this to a girlfriend i a crowded restaurant. Not 1 person ask3d us if we where ok or needed help after. Society is horrible.
this one time happened to me while eating with my family and they were just watching me choke to death, so I had to pull it out of my throat myself… It wasn't that deep in my throat but still bruh
My sister saved me like this once, and that piece of carrot got shooted on my book 😂 (I was eating while studying)
👍
Lucky lad, have great friends.
The choking kid's parents owe him pizza and burgers for sure.
Overused. Just drinking some water will clear up the passage way. Most of the time. Not really choking as in losing breath. Just your body's attempting to remove the obstruction coughing or vomiting. Only problem is the body's overreaction. And, the panic that sets in because we're not used to feeling anyway like that.
Why it happens
