No harm was done, and traffic resumed. The man pushed off did not die, and the passer-by is a hero.

Please. Pushing someone to their possible death (even if they're threatening to do it themselves) is not a heroic action.

Reminds me of that story from (I think it was Cincinatti) where a would be suicide as holding up traffic and as the drivers passed by the person, they all were yelling at him to "hurry up and jump" and other less appealing stuff.

Did the guy doing the pushing know that their was an air cushion down their ?
If no, charge them with attempted murder.

I'm guessing probably not, but I don't know for sure. Even if he did know, the cushion was only half filled - the guy still could've died.

True, but he may of not know that so the charge would then be something along the lines of reckless endangerment or an equivalent charge (I am not a lawyer)

A truly great example of christian compassion.

No, not so much. In fact, not even close. :( It saddens me that a Christian of all people would even have that reaction. It saddens me that ANYONE would have that reaction.

I have no idea about Chinese laws, but possible that the old guy will be slapped with attempted manslaughter or equivalent?

And I know it's horrible to try to make fun of something like this, but the picture of that old guy is just pure hilarity and win in its audacity.
