"a kid slices his arms open running through a glass door and t-shirts are tied around them?"
that's my most vivid memory of this show. i also remember an episode where this woman and her little boy are at home alone, and her ex husband or ex boyfriend shows up. the little boy is coloring, and the mother asks him if she can color some (while kinda ignoring the ex husband) and she writes "call 911" in the coloring book with the crayon. the little boy leaves the room and eventually does call 911, but unfortunately by the time this happens he's describing to the operator how his father(?) stabbed his mother and how bad the situation is. that episode was pretty scary. -

I just remember one story from the show that has always stuck out in my mind.
A mom in on the lawnmower in the front yard, and a kid runs out to tell her something. The mom doesn't see the kid, and when the boy trips, it becomes a lawncare misadventure. The mom runs over both of his legs, if I can remember correctly. Memorable stuff, right there.
I think if the show was tweaked a little, it could still be a hit in this era of graphic blood and gore TV.

the one that shcoked the hell out of me in 1990, when I was 5, was the story about the pool drain, and the kids intestine being sucked out.
God that was sick
Or the one where the guy SAWS HIS OWN LEG OFF because its stuck under a tree.
or the one where the brother runs with a knife and stabs his little sister!
Or the home invasion where he takes an old man and his wife hostage.
God those were like "Here kids, we will show you what happens when you act stupid"
Simmilar to "Dont be stupid when your little" "why?" "You might die a horrible and painful death, or end up horribly disfigured" "oh" "also dont chop down trees like an idiot and stand under them" -

there's only one episode i can remember aside from the mentally paralyzed guy (thank you driver's ed for that wonderful video) who crashed while driving drunk. this one where a lady and her kids were in a building and she left her kids alone and one went down the escalater and got caught or something. it scared the crap out of me when i was little! i wondered how they could get so many camera angles but the guys with the cameras wouldnt help the little boy!

my favorite (if I am remembering this right) was the one where the lady was going to her friends home during a winter storm and for some reason she is walking and her friend finds her frozen solid not far from her home.

Absolute favorite episode..
The one about the mother deer who was hit on the freeway! There was a car accident involving her and she was not going to make it, but they realised she was pregnant, gave her quick, and very very ammateur surgery but got the baby out. And he lived. They named him freeway. I remember it almost every time i see a deer.

I was pretty young when this show was on the air but I do remember one episode. This kid was in a room on the second story and was leaning on an open window and the screen gave out and he fell through.

I am a train buff and I remember three episodes that I would love to see again
-A man's tackle shop is broken into and tries to beat a train to stop the robbers (he lives)
-A lady get rear ended and her car stops on the railroad track. A man come and pulls her out moments before the train hits her car (I really want to see this one!!!!)
-A older couple is hit at a crossing by some runaway hoppers and a police officers save them by turning the hand brake "Sadley the women dies :-("
Can anyone think of any others I missed? -

one of my favorites is when the 911 dispatcher is choking on a piece of hard candy and she keeps setting of the local ambulanc squad's tones to get their attention. one of the funniest episodes in my opinion was the one when the kid got his tounge stuck in the canteen.

I just remembered another one I liked.
The one where 2 boys were playing on a river bank, then one of them falls in and the other goes to rescue but ends up falling in also, there was young black couple walking close and they heard the boys yelling for help. the black man goes to help but before he goes he tells his girlfriend or wife, to tell his mother that their not gonna be able to make to dinner that night. he goes in the water and manages to rescue the boys but sadly he didn't make out of the water because the current was so strong and it made him weak. I thought it was sad, I actually cried when I saw it. -

Any episodes that were hilarious without meaning to be
or caused by stupidy were my fav!!
Lets see::
Kid runs with knife!!!
Kid hangs himself with the rope
while pulling a prank for his friend!!!
The kid shoots his sister while she lays
on bed the kid was never supposed to play
with it!! It's a gun and he was like 6 or 7!!
HELLO!!!
The one I like to call the pedophile epiosde!!!
A young 12 yr old girl is babysitting
a nearby neighbors little boya man in a car
drives in a car and pulls up next to the house..
and starts watching her clean upthen we hear
banging on the door!!
Sick pedophile!!
Kid sticks his hand in pool drain and it gets
sucked in with him not being able to get out!!
Kid sticks his tongue in freezer getting it stuck!!!
Absolutley stupid and hilarious anyone that stupid
should deserve what comes their way!!!
Maybe he would have learned a lesson had he not been
rescued!!!
He could have tugged at his tongue to release it..
it may have been bloody but he would have been free!!
And the girl who rides up the chair lift
by hanging from her moms arm because she could
not get up into the seat properly, and mom never
got off with her when she failed to get in the seat!!
She could have got back in line to wait for the next
chair to come around!! And have a lift attendant
lift her little girl into the seat!!
Or the mom who leaves her baby in the tub
unoccupied with the water going as she splits
out the door to see a garbage man for 10 seconds!!
NEVER LEAVE A BABY OR SMALL CHILD ALONE OR OUT OF
YOUR SITE IN A TUB OR POOL!!
The kid who chokes on a marble!!
Or the kid who pours GASOLINE
on the pot of leaves to get a campfire
going!! He got it going alright!!!
He got his campfire going with a bang!!!
Or the kid who lights the big firecracker
in his bedroom with it in his hand..it goes off in his
hand!! For one, that should be done by an adult
who is mature enough and knows how to handle
fireworks or explosives of that kindlight it
then chuck it instantly!!!
MY point:: Stupidity can cost you your life!!!
But I do love the rescue with the Cival
War reenactment where the man has a heart attack
after the reenactment endsthis man had a lot
of courage and the people who helped him were
true civil war heroes!!
He never deserved to have the heart attack!!
At least it was not caused by doing something
dumb!!
Or that other episode where those two convicts
in the hospital take those perimedics in
the ambulance hostage!!
Was like an extended suspensefull version of COPS!!
I could go on all night!! -

Can anyone think of any others I missed?
I uploaded those last two you mentioned on YouTube about a month ago, you can watch them there. These are the links.
,
These are the other ones I remember:
-Two toddlers wander into the woods and play on the tracks. The conductor sees them, jumps of of the train, and tries to get them out of the way. The snow plow bumps one of them on the head and he has to get stiches.
-A teen with his learner's permit and his aunt are driving in dense fog and their car gets hit by a train.
-Some kids are playing on top of a stopped train. It starts moving while they're on top of it and one of them falls into a boxcar. The other two are too afraid to tell their parents and the kid is stuck in there for days. He's finally discovered when a toddler is playing outside and tells his grandma that the train is talking. It's actually the trapped kid calling for help.
-A woman's car stalls on a railroad crossing and she can't get her baby out of his car seat. A cop manages to push the car out of the way at the last second. This one is also on YouTube -

I remembered a couple more:
-An Amtrak train collides with parked rail cars in a suburb of Baltimore.
-A man collapses on subway tracks as the train approaches
-Suicidal man threatens to jump off bridge over train tracks (this didn't really focus on the train aspect though) -

I sort of remember that episode.. the baby was wraped in
a blanket sort in a ditch i think the two men find
him-or her ice cold, and rush him to the hospitaland
the two men I think name it after their first names!!!
That was a real rescue where a person realy saves
a life!! -

I liked the story about the Charles Stuart murder case. It was a ride along that turned into a major story in the United States. I also liked the story about the Oklahoma City bombing. I was moved to tears on that story. Any story caught on tape is always my favorite.
