My momma told me to "never do anything that you don't want to see on the front page of the New York Times". My version is "never do anything that you don't want to explain to the paramedics".

A wise old captain once told me "People generally don't call us because they did something smart."

[yosefzanerva]

To be fair, that last line is definitely what you want to say to the kids. They'll be too excited to cry or worry.

[dimensionlord]

That grunt after you saw the first one KILLED me 😂

[truefanforum]

"I can't seem to get it out." Undoubtedly a phrase that makes every EMT shudder inside when they hear it.

[LooniJoose]

Those kids are going places. Not college, but places.

A wise man once said don’t do anything you don’t want to explain to the paramedics

[goldenart]

The fucking when he sees the first kid always gets me

[vanillabeam]

Seeing you suddenly with hair caught me off guard more than it should have XD

[KasterStar]

I’m willing to bet cash money that the one with the dart to the shoulder yelled out “NO FAIR! I WANNA GO IN A HELICOPTER!!!”

[dantheman]

I love how the dad sounds like he's so sick of their crap. I bet the real dad sounded like that too.

[BlueNovaVR]

"your gonna get to go for a ride in a helicopter!" got my dying lol

[deeetherton]

As I always said during my paramedic career, "As long as there is stupidity, I have job security."

[Ruiluth]

Things you NEVER want to hear a paramedic say:

Anything about a helicopter D:

[dawnmichelle]

Probably won't be that kid's last helicopter ride! 😂

[sarahvincent]

Omg that look and the red wig together is way to much Jason🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Ms.Moss.]

My favorite part about this is that unless they threw at each other at the exact same time, that means one of them got stuck, and then they both decided it was still a good idea to try again

[krisswiftt]

"😀You're going to get to go for a ride in a helicopter!" 😂😂😂

[moonlight]

In all seriousness, the dad being so calm about the situation is the best thing. As a former backyard daredevil, it really does help when all the adults around around you are calm about it. Then again I also had the "fun uncles" who'd joke a little too much about needing amputation instead of a couple of stitches.
