Hmmm, this may be a bit of an urban legend… I heard a similar story several times, either that or its actually very common for people to lift cars off of children??

Yeah, sounds like a form of adrenalin rush to me….. still, a wonderful thing to do, though!

I very much doubt it was as the title says it was. The man didn’t lift a car. He probably tilted back-side (one wheel) it’s not that difficult and just pushed it. At least I assume it from what he said (not from the article title). Anyway all witnesses where panicked and it’s most probably just another gossip. Of course this man is a hero for saving the child

Well, Clark Kent was raised in Kansas. Perhaps some of those Kryptonian special abilities rubbed off.

Bill Bixby Hulk (in start of pilot?) woman picks up a car to save a child just as he had done (very good flash back effects). I agree with the notion of physical strength and adrenaline. No need for the extra dose of gamma radiation to lift/push a car of a stranger let alone a loved one.

He pushed .. it says there itself .. he pushed .. the most of the car’s weight is on the other 3 wheels .. although .. how steep was the road .. And what part of the body did it ran over … if it is a leg she might have rolled with the wheel … I wont try though …

People do have more strength at times for sure … I experience this myself as well … depends on my state of mind .. not really adrenaline .. (although with adrenaline .. I’ll become the hulk I guess), but to lift a car. Reminds me of this movie in which a guy lifts a tractor … but he took some stuff .. and it was a movie ofcourse .. ehehe ..

Anyhow .. if true .. nice!

I remember reading an interview many years ago with Simon Le Bon in which he spoke about a near-death experience when his yacht, Drum, capsized. In order to escape he and three (I think) other crewmen had to lift a mast that previously had needed many more people to be moved. Fearing for their lives, they found the strength to do it, though afterwards were astonished at how they managed it.

I don’t know the science, but it seems that adrenaline can have a huge effect on people’s abilities in times of crisis.
