A professional jump-roper, known as The Rope Warrior, used his jump rope to save a 18-year-old who fell through the ice of a pond in Westfield, Indiana.
A professional jump-roper, known as The Rope Warrior, received the Lifesaving Citizen Award from the town of Westfield, Indiana, for his remarkable act of heroism. David Fisher, a seasoned jump-roper, used his jump rope to pull an 18-year-old young man from the icy waters of a local pond in December 2024. Fisher's son, Felix, initially heard someone screaming outside and discovered a woman and her teenage son walking their dog.
The dog, chasing geese, slipped away and fell into a partially frozen pond. Felix rushed to help retrieve the dog, while David went upstairs to get warm clothes. By the time David returned downstairs, Felix had learned that the young man had ventured onto the ice after the dog and had fallen in too.Upon arriving at the pond, they found the dog safely on shore, but the young man was struggling in the icy water. While Felix called 911, David cautiously moved onto the ice, rope in hand, until he was approximately five meters from the young man. He strategically left a second rope on the shore in case he needed to be rescued himself. Drawing upon his expertise in double-Dutch, David tossed the rope to the young man, who managed to grab it. With a powerful pull, David hauled the young man onto the ice. The entire rescue operation took less than a minute. The father-son duo provided the young man with warm, dry clothes and waited for paramedics to arrive. Their courageous actions were recognized at a ceremony at city hall, where they were honored by Westfield Mayor Scott Willis and Fire Chief Rob Gaylor
