Hero Hiker Helps Woman With 1 Arm Rescue Her Mother

A mother and her daughter were hiking on a trail in Oregon when the mom fell down a steep incline. Thankfully, Taylor Root was hiking along a narrow trail when he heard a faint cry for help in the distance. When he raced toward the sound, Root saw the young woman holding on to her mom. However, the woman was struggling to hold on to her mother because she only has one arm. Root used all his strength to hoist the mom back on the trail.

Thank goodness for this man. But the woman’s strength to hold on to her mother with one arm truly shows a daughter’s love. ❤

- OK.

The fact that her daughter had ONLY ONE arm is incredible!!! The strength that she hah at that moment… so powerful.

I'm still amazed by the fact that she held on to her mother's leg with one arm. Goodness. Thank God everyone is safe.

It's sweet how the mother immediately said "thank you", she's very polite. 😢

Hearing mom say "let me go" I can hear my own mother being like that in this situation.
I just hope my momma knows that I know how much that damn woman loves me

The part that the mother said let me go is crazy. She's willing to sacrifice herself so she doesn't pull down her daughter. Mad respects

[julee]

She only has one arm and she was able to hold her mom up still. Her determination to save her mom was her strength. She didn't want mom to get hurt or possibly die.

Her daughter must have done some amazing catch to stop her mom from falling over the edge.😮

Ok first of all that girls badass for holding that woman with one arm and absolute respect to the mom she was willing to die for her daughter thank God that guy showed up

[citrusswirledfamily]

Oh my god! That’s wild! Right time, right place is an understatement. Absolutely amazing for all three of them.

The mother willing to die instead of risking her daughter’s life; daughter not willing to let go. The beauty of healthy parent/child relationships is breathtaking.

This is amazing. He’s amazing because he managed to save the life of a stranger. The daughter is amazing because she was able to save her mother with only one arm. And the mother is amazing because she didn’t hesitate to sacrifice her own life to save her daughter.

I hope she bought this man a beer, he deserves it!!, well done mate.

There was no way the daughter was letting go of her mom. You could feel that she would have rather gone over with her mom than let go. What unbelievable strength. Glad their Good Samaritan was there to help ❤

[onionjuul]

The 'let me go' really got me. So glad everybody was okay.

[youmadhuh]

When mom said "Let Me Go!" I felt that in my soul...thank gawd for both daughter and the angel that came along..
