A camera captured the moment a basketball coach in Nebraska saved a high school freshman from choking during lunch. The video from the school shows the boy in a gray hoodie sitting at a corner table with other students. He appears to be holding his throat and, when he nods at a fellow student, that student calls out to get the coach’s attention.
The coach comes over to the student’s table and immediately starts doing the Heimlich maneuver, which involves applying abdominal thrusts to a choking person in an effort to lift the diaphragm and force air from the lungs to dislodge any object. Students in the lunchroom are seen on video turning their attention toward the coach and the student while remaining calm. The student, Riley Kelly, told FOX 10 Omaha that he started choking after taking a bite of a cheeseburger. The coach, Joel Hueser, said he’s just thankful the student was alright.
"Every two years when we have to do CPR, I’m like, ‘We really have to do this again,’ but it certainly paid off this time,"The school shared a link to another local report on Facebook and congratulated the coach’s efforts.
