Liquid Mountaineering is a new sport which is attempting to achieve what man has tried to do for centuries: walk on water. Or to be more precise: running on water. We are developing the sport from scratch. By accident we found out that with the right water repellent equipment you can run across bodies of water, just like a stone skimming the surface. http://www.liquidmountaineering.blogspot.com/
Australia Car Smash Video Father Andrew Leach Saves Baby Haydn In Penrith, Near Sydney
Incredible video pictures have been released showing the moment a father saved his baby son when an out-of-control car ploughed into them on a pavement.
Andrew Leach is captured on CCTV clinging desperately to son Haydn after taking the full impact of the collision.
The footage also shows Mr Leach's elderly parents being tossed into the air and landing on the ground, apparently unconscious.
Amazingly, baby Haydn escaped, terrified but without a scratch - and his father and grandparents have since recovered.
After being hit I pulled myself out and the little bloke out and then looked around for mum and dad - and I thought the worst.
Father Andrew Leach
The shocking sequence was captured on a security camera at an estate agent's in Penrith, near Sydney, Australia.
Mr Leach said he was walking along the pavement with his tiny son in his arms and next to his parents when he heard a screech.
"I said to my old man that it was probably just another young pup doing a burn-out," Mr Leach said.
"My old man joked about it and turned around to me, and then I turned around and the car was on top of me."
Andrew Leach said he wakes up ever morning thinking of the crash
The vehicle was being driven by an 82-year-old woman who is believed to have had a heart attack.
She sped through a red light and then smashed into a parked car before crossing a T-junction and mounting the pavement.
"I was thinking I can take the hit. I can repair but there's no way my son is going to repair," Mr Leach continued.
"I thought if I get hit from behind then maybe I'll break a leg.
"After, I pulled myself out and the little bloke out and then looked around for mum and dad - and I thought the worst."
Grandparents Caroline and David Leach were seriously injured in the attack but are now better.
Estate agent Michael Ball, who managed to dodge the car at the last moment, said: "It's amazing that he did not let go of his child.
"The whole time he kept his child in his hands and he did not let go."
Mr Leach, who escaped with a broken leg, added: "That day is the worst in my life - that moment is the first thing I think about every morning."
The accident was captured on video in 2008, but has only just been released.
