Poll: Would you grab an attacker's knife to save your loved one?


With your bare hand?

But...OUCH!

reply

Yes, absolutely, and in short order make sure the knife enters the attackers body...

That's the wonderful thing about fantasy.

I couldent i wouldent be fast enougth, but ill try, I think....

Silly question. There are people who really think of themselves as heroic types, but you have no idea what you'd really do until you're there. You might think you'd be the action star, but you might just fall down and wet yourself.

Honestly not for a lover, that scene made me cringe. Maybe for my parents though.

Wow.

It's the opposite for me.

And in the case of true love, the answer is "DEFINATELY."

back to fight or flight and adrenaline rush etc
if what matters enough for u, u will?

reply

I wouldn't, knowing what I now know: the knife blade could be poisoned.

I would "pretend" to grab for it and miss. There are plenty of fish in the sea, but not that many good insurance companies...that would have been 400 dollars out of pocket, even with out the poison...once we get health care I may think about it....but then again a knife really hurts.

Brilliant, I loved your response!!! Even my GF thought it was funny! (sort of... ha-HA!)

... for me, personally, I would go for the flying-lightning-cow-buddha's-palm technique. while much more elaborate and takes years to master, the technique basically freezes time, so it would probably have a higher chance of success, and be far less painful, than grabbing an attacker's knife.
