Danger, Danger

No surprise to any dad, it's a dangerous world. Danger arises serendipitously and you may have to rely on good karma as to whether it ends well or not.

A Grand Rapids, Mich., pops passed out in the pool. His 6-year-old daughter followed the instructions of her 9-year-old sister, who had just taken a swimmer safety course, and the two saved their dad from drowning.

From the other end of the expected danger spectrum comes the "thank God, but who knows why" story of Ashley Force's escape. Moments after father John Force put himself back into contention for the NHRA season-ending playoffs, daughter Ashley slammed into the wall. She survived at least in part thanks to added safety equipment Force insisted on after the fatal accident for a team member earlier in the year. But the TV Stars' family drama was over. The engine of father John's funny car blew up in the finals. The quarter-million dollar car was totaled, but both daughter and dad were both safe.
