gaming reflex's Options

[UNDEAD 1]

today i had a very close call and has screwed me up for most of the day.as most of you know my home has been under alot of work since last year and I'm all through finally.today they were putting on two new exterior doors and it began to rain very hard so the quit for the day with only getting one on.i was watching my 1 1/2 year old son ,who was watching a video and i just finished on the phone with a client .out of the corner of my eye i notice one of the framed doors and a bunch of boards(about 150 lbs) falling toward my son.this all happened in a split second.i ran about 60 feet and dove and with one arm caught the door and blocked all the wood from hitting my son.the door still hit him but not hurting him .I'm very lucky my son wasn't killed today or seriously hurt.i honestly feel my reflex's from gaming could have been what saved him as i saw a bit of movement and quickly reacted with out hesitating only because i knew my son was in the area of the door.it does show that you could turn your head for one second and something bad could happen.

i reamed the workers a new ass today too! ,they know better than to leave a heavy door like that upright with a child in the house.he only lightly touched it and it fell.

Glad to hear your baby's okay -- great save!!

I also believe that in two near-car accidents, that my quickened gaming reflexes got me out of the way where another vehicle went out of control. In both situations, if I had not perceived the actioin fast enough in my peripheral vision and acted as quickly and smoothly as I did, I would have gotten smashed but good.

Since I'm over-50, I think gaming is a great way to keep my brain and reflexes as trim as they can be.
