Whould you mind showing me some proof? I heard that men have higher pain threshold than women. I remember watching it on a news program.

As for her pulling a 250 lb man out of a building. I believe she could. There are ways that you can do it. I had to pull a 150 lb dummy across the bay. It wasn't nearly as hard as you would think.

We had a 180 lb man we had to pick up and bring out of the bay. Right before that we had to go out in a field and do an obstical course blind-folded. Then we put on full gear and were blacked out. They gave us just a little bit of air to scare us. The scenerio was a firefighter went in and ran out of air. We had to follow the hose to get the guy blind-folded. We then had to pick him up. I honestly couldn't stand up with the guy. That was the one time when I felt like I had to give up. I knew I couldn't even though it was just a test. Suddenly I felt like I was being pulled up and got my strength back. I though God was pulling me up, but it was another firefighter! So then we had to keep our feet on the hose and then the SCBA's were almost empty and they started shaking. I never moved so fast!

Oh, Alyssa, we had a kid walk over the hose while we charged it. It was quite funny watching his face after we told him what he could have lost!
