Wife Prevents Husband's Suicide with Last-Second Leg GrabAccording to the Chinese news portal Sohu, the 45-year-old man had recently moved with his wife and child to the northeasten city of Changchun, where he began experiencing painful work-related stress headaches and "delusions."
The symptoms allegedly motivated his decision to jump, but he was rescued at the last moment by his wife's sharp instincts.
It took police some 20 minutes to arrive at the scene, during which time the woman was forced to hold on to her husband's leg and shorts to keep him from falling.
He was eventually pulled in, just his wife's body was starting to give out.
The news has been the talk of Chinese social networking site Sina Weibo, where one poster noted the importance of "find[ing] a wife with good arm strength."

I think women look better and likely feel better if they have some muscle, anyways.

It looks like just a sill, and not a balcony. Damn, that woman is a keeper.
