Rescue 911 - "Aussie Santa Save" 

At the time this happened, I was 11 in fifth grade, and my brother Andrew was nine and in third grade. We had just moved to Charlotte, North Carolina from Arizona at the time. But we spent that Christmas in Texas visiting family from my mother’s side. It was wonderful and I will never forget that. In the upper part of the United States, people would be playing in the snow on Christmas Day.

I'm sure Nat said "Thank you" to those who saved his life and can never give them enough thanks.

The songs playing in the background are “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” and “Jingle Bells”. I wonder if Allen tells his grandchildren the story.

I'm sure Nat tells his rescuers they'll always be in his heart.

It’s been 28 years since this happened so Nat is 46 now. This Christmas Day happened on a Saturday. When I saw the jet ski accident, I was terrified because I didn’t know how badly injured or what happened to Nat. He should’ve been careful because if he did it wouldn’t have happened.

The songs playing in this episode are ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ and ‘Jingle Bells’.

The songs that are playing in the background are “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” and “Jingle Bells”. On Christmas Day in 1993, my family and I were in Texas visiting our relatives on my mother’s side. I was 11 and my brother Andrew was 9. It was cold there but sunny. In 1993, Hugh Jackman was 25. He was born in Australia but in Sydney. I’ll never stop believing in Santa Claus.

This Episode is the better christmas themed segment because in the early days it was usually a couple of christmas themed episodes separated not sandwhiched together like this episode #612.

this episode should've had christmas decor on the Rescue 911 titles LOL such as a wreath for segment#1, a christmas gift for segment#2 and a santa claus statue for segment#3 and a christmas bulb for segment#4., because this is a christmas themed episode.

I sure hope Nat, whose in his 40s now, will not let his children go through what he went through.

On Christmas Day in 1993, I was in Texas visiting family from my mother's side. It was beautiful but cold. When I saw what happened to Nat, I was afraid that something awful happened.

I love Santa so much!!!

This segment and the segment with Jamie choking shows us that Santa not only gives us presents, but gives us lives!! Oh yeah, I just remembered there was a segment with Santa(a paramedic with a moustache) who helps deliver a black ladies baby also. And we see Santa driving the Ambulance!

there was also a santa that saved a kid's life when he was choking in a car, and he and that car happened to be stopped at a red light, and he just saved his life. Santa just drove off after that, and they had to search for that man to thank him!

The segment you described with the boy choking in the car is the one I described in my previous comment. The boy's name is Jamie, and him, his mom, and sister are on the way to the mall to see Santa.

It’s been 25 years since this happened so Nat is 43 now. I was 11 years old and my brother Andrew was 9.

I'm Aussie and I love this.

Today’s the 30th anniversary of when this happened so Nat is 48 now. This happened on a Saturday.

Now that’s a Christmas miracle! Santa saving a life!

the syndicated version of this segment is # 369S which is titled Aussie Santa Save, Christmas Bulb choke.

the 4th segment is memorable, "Being a child not knowing what to do,not being told what to do really scared me"

Speaking of choking after this segment here's another Christmas themed segment "Christmas Bulb Choke"

OMG us Aussie's have the weirdest accents when you hear it on these videos. xoxo

If Nat had been alone that day, he probably would’ve lost his life.

"Christmas Bulb Choke" was from this same episode (612). It's the one previewed at the end of this segment. it's not uploaded.

Darn it-before this is the segment with the pick-up truck rolling on top of the man while he's working under it. A must see!

They stop at a fast food place to get dinner then head out for the mall. Jamie chokes on what looks like french fries to me. And Santa gets out of his Van at the red light to give him the heimlick. Unfortanetly, he got back in his van and drove off when the light turned green. At the end, Jamie and his sister meets Santa along with other kids at sort of a Christmas Party.

Isn't Nathan the one who fell off his jet ski in this segment?? Hitting that big wave was like hitting a jump!!

Yep. Santa saves the boy, Jamie from choking on his "fast" food. That segment with Jamie is the 4th segment on the same episode with the segment with the 2 loggers that save the baby.

Although it was taped on Christmas Day 1993, Australia was a peak of Summer whereas up in the North was Winter.

memorable quote of the next segment: nathaniel was born with what dr's call a sensitive gag reflex where he gags to the point of unconsciousness.

You know something allgood2000? I will never stop believing in Santa no matter how old I get. Some people stop believing in Santa as they grow up, but not me. Even though I’m 38, I still believe in him because I’m a child at heart.

Steve Irwin was 31 when this happened and he was living in Australia himself.

The guy from the segment was Nathan (or Nat), which can also be a nickname for Nathaniel. I think Rescue911Trooper meant Nathan.

Jamie also makes a funny comment. "Santa was probably driving his van to the north pole to get his reindeer!" They were on the way to see Santa at the mall, when in fact Santa was in the Van in the lane right next to them. After Santa saves Jamie, Jamie, his mom, and sis turn around and go home but they never got a chance to thank him. So they call the radio station to find the mysterious Santa that saved Jamie!

He doesn't get paid. We do it as volunteers.

Yes, it was an apartment in Queens, New York.

It was still December 24 in Texas if it was Christmas Day in Australia because of the different time zones. At the time this happened, my family and I were probably finishing up dinner. If it was around 10 or 11 o’clock at the time in Australia, it would’ve been around five or 6 o’clock in Texas so my family and I were finishing up dinner. My brother, Andrew and I were getting ready for bed around 8 o’clock. I live in the eastern time zone now, but I grew up in mountain time zone.

Thank you Lord

Hmm, I don't know. I remember one where a paramedic responded to an apartment fire and she had to treat her sister. That was in 1994, though.

While it is winter in North America, it is summer in Australia. I am currently vacationing in Australia

i know seriously! i guess allgood knows how to make sure we watch these!

Yes I do.

Budgie smugglers rock!!!!

I think it's matt not nathaniel, your refering in the 4th segment the baby's name is Nathaniel.

got a question did the bulb in the next segment actually cut his throat or something, kinda dangerous for a baby?

There was one where a baby fell into a washing machine, but she drowned; she didn't get her arm ripped off.

Did you notice that the door on the ambulance closed from the top instead of the side.

......"he got a little bit bored with the mundane part of it, and he decided to go up where the waves were a little bit bigger."

Are you kidding me?! I'd PAY to do that!!!

i remember a firefighter gettin call to ther home and it was on fire it was a ampartment i think or wat ever do u have the one i think it was in 93

That was my grandfather's last Christmas 1993 he died January 13, 1994 😟😩😭😧😦😢😞😥😖😔.....

If you have no idea how to save a life like that kid most likely did, rushing strait to his budder wouldn't have helped. He did the right thing. Use your brain before posting comments like that!

you should have downloaded this segment before christmas Lol.

thats the one i think it was a apartment wasnt it if so thats it

k u have that one i been lookin for it for a long time

When I 1st saw the 4th segment in this episode I thought what was the matter with him because his mom and a relative were holding him near a sink and I thought it was a sequel to C.p.r baby where a baby has a temp and is over the sink cooling off., but nope it turned out to be a choking episode called Christmas bulb save.

i want one of those boats........

It's okay, I'll probably have time before I go back to school.

here's my suggestion I liked how you edited the Prison escape segment in 3 parts why not do christmas bulb choke anyway for example Part #1 and continued from part #1.

like jessied81 said, the boy who put his arm in the washing machine and it got ripped off

that waverunner is no sportski, it shouldn't have been used for jumps

wow so only part of this wuz an re-enactment? thats kinda kool couz all the other ones i saw were all re-enactments and when i read the episode title, i thought Santa wuz gonna b saved

I don't really like to split them up like that, I only did it with the prison break segment because I got a whole lot of requests for it.

At the time this happened, the late Steve Irwin was 31 and with his wife Terri.

where are these koalas? 9:20

oh my gosh. i don't wanna see dat. AHHHHHHHHHH!

Santa Claus on the beach. lol

Was this Bondi Beach area?

Either way it's fun.

What did he say at 2:06?

(o^o) /|||\ AUSSIE SANTA SAVE

Anything is possible through Christ

ok.

Don"t want to see what?

Take him to th shore bad idea I would have raised him to the helicopter take him out that way life flight bitch directly to a trauma center way faster and more stable incase he had spinal damage. why didn't they do that? did I miss the reason why they didn't medivac him?

ok.
