Well, neither has Chad... But he did yesterday!!
He and some other guys were eating at Serious Texas Barbeque in Durango, CO and one of his buddies jumped up to help this woman who was choking. He tried a couple of times, but was unsuccessful, so Chad shoved him out of the way and gave her the Heimlich Maneuver and the hunk of meat came out after one try! GO CHAD!! It turns out that the lady is a single mother of 2 kids.
So here's what you need to know about the Heimlich Maneuver:
1. You're supposed to thrust upward from the belly button. Not the sternum. This is because you need to get air up out of the diaphragm to expell the obstructive object.
2. The food didn't go flying across the room like it does in the movies.
Just had to brag on my husband a little bit. I love him.
