"Hysterical strength, or superhuman
strength"

This is a display of extreme strength by
humans, beyond what is believed to be normal,

usually occurring when people are in life and
death situations. Common anecdotal examples
are of mothers lifting vehicles to rescue their
children.

The extra strength is believed to
come from adrenaline, though incidents are
rare, unrepeatable, with no examinable
evidence and few witnesses;

research into the
phenomenon is difficult, though it is thought
that it is theoretically possible.

Everyone heard the story of a kid trapped under a
car and then his mom lifts the car and saves the
day.

Some use this story to illustrate. the power of
adrenaline, or how much more people can achieve in their lives,


Here's the Full Story. ..

It was the Good Friday, April 9 1982 in
Lawrenceville, Georgia and Anthony Vincent
Cavallo II, a teenager at that time, has jacked up
his 1964 Chevy Impala (same model as the one
on the photo above) in the driveway to work on
its suspension.

After he removed the rear
suspension spring (not the tire as some sources claimed), the jack slipped away leaving Anthony
clamped between the top of the rear wheel and
the top of the fender of a 3,340 - 3,895 pound
car (Chevy Impala weigth. data taken from here).


His mother Angela, who described herself as "5-
foot-8, large framed and strong" was in the
kitchen when a neighbor kid ran in and told that
Anthony had an accident.

She ran out and lifted
the corner of the car just a few inches so it
doesn't keep pressing the passed-out Anthony
while the kid went to get help.

She estimates that
Mrs. Angela Cavallo, lifted the corner of the car high enough and long enough for for about "5mins" shocked until two neighbours replaced the jacks and pulled Tony from beneath the car.

Now Anthony fully recovered today runs "five
Goodyear tire stores".

If you ask me 5 minutes is between
debatable and impossible.

But this case
seems to fall under the "what people can do in
extreme situations" kind of story.

There are other cases of people doing remarkable things when they or their children are in danger.


Other Examples . ..

In 2006, Ivujivik, Quebec resident Lydia
Angiyou saved several children by fighting a
polar bear until a local hunter shot it.

In 2006, in Tucson, Arizona, Tom Boyle
watched as a Chevrolet Camaro hit 18-year-old
Kyle Holtrust. The car pinned Holtrust, still
alive, underneath. Boyle lifted the Camaro off
the teenager, while the driver of the car pulled
the teen to safety.

In 2009, in Ottawa, Kansas, 5 ft 7 in
(1.70 m), 185 lb (84 kg) Nick Harris lifted a
Mercury sedan to help a 6-year-old girl pinned
beneath.

In 2011, in Tampa, Florida, 6 ft 3 in
(1.91 m), 295 lb (134 kg) University of South
Florida college football player Danous Estenor
lifted a 3,500 lb (1,600 kg) car off of a man
who had been caught underneath. The man
was a tow truck driver who had been pinned
under the rear tire of a 1990 Cadillac Seville,
which had lurched forward as he worked
underneath it. The man suffered only minor
injuries.

In 2012, in Glen Allen, Virginia, 22-year-old
Lauren Kornacki rescued her father, Alec
Kornacki, after the jack used to prop up his
BMW slipped, pinning him under it. Lauren
lifted the car, then performed CPR on her
father and saved his life.


In 2013, in Oregon, teenage sisters, Hanna
(age 16) & Haylee (age 14) lifted a tractor to
save their father pinned underneath.

In conclusion some things sound amazing but they are not supernatural neither are they impossible.

I have witnessed or most of us have witnessed, some things that science can't explain how they happened,

but the above story are not in
that category. They were caused by a perfectly worldly natural force called

"people in panic".

From my view. ..
This is Yet another evidence to prove you can achieve much more than what you have right now,

iF only one can push harder rather than stay in a comfort zone"

You don't have to wait for situations to arise before you realise this, it might just be too late and you be full of regrets thinking

"Had I known"

cool
