Heroic Dad.. .

A heroic father who leaped off a 13-foot balcony to save his son’s life was left fighting for his life in the hospital after cracking his skull open on the concrete below.

Doctors couldn’t believe Brad Lewis, 42, survived the fall when he arrived at intensive care.

The father of two was at a friend’s house in Sydney, Australia on Saturday, August 4 when his 8-year-old son Oscar shot a few Nerf gun bullets at him.

When the bullets missed and went over the first-floor balcony, Oscar ran to see where they went and lost his balance, according to a GoFundMe page set up to support the family.

Brad saw what was happening and lunged to grab his son, but his speed and weight carried the two of them over the balcony, tumbling towards the concrete below.During the fall, the brave father — a former army officer and deep-sea diver — pinned Oscar to his chest and curled around him, taking the full force of the impact on his head.

“Are the kids OK? Don’t let them see me like this, don’t let me die mate,” Brad told his friend Beau as he drifted in and out of consciousness after the fall.
Oscar was concussed, fractured his skull and suffered bruising on the brain.
