Oh wooow! She is such a pretty woman even after this happened. It makes me cry to see how many people are risking their own lifes to help her. And she married for sure the right guy!!! This is a WONDER ! ❤️
what's. pop in....
they did mention him 18:25 (=
"Beauty" is merely skindeep and is subjective. Real beauty comes from deep within.
@@blackholeentry3489that is profound Confucius.
Her friend is an awesome human being and very brave
Love her friend!!!
I know it was a stressful situation, but pulling on the legs was a bad idea that probably increased the injuries.
@@tonyprice2256what else could she do? If she hadn't held on to her, the mountain lion would have taken her away. How can you sit there and criticize someone who was so brave and loyal? Always finding the negative in everything shouldn't be your first instinct, especially not here
@@MsCCarolinee You are right. It is easy to criticize with the power of hindsight. Hindsight is 20/20 vision. Her friend did the best she could under the circumstances.
The girl who came to rescue her , deserves a standing ovation
For doing what
@@sauronikov9254 for not running away scared, the lion would’ve pulled her in the bushes and she probably wouldn’t have been seen until it was too late.
I think she coulda just wiped it with a rock and it would have went away in a matter of seconds instead of tug of warring. Isn’t that a natural instinct kind of thing to do?
@@seehongkongsea Yes. Pulling on her legs would most likely increase the injuries.
are you delusional? lol she was not only useless but an extreme hazard by all means
I love the amount of loyalty from the friend and husband, such a beautiful women inside and out. May the other biker Rest In Peace, I’m sure he’s looking down on those kiddos with new bikes
Ohhh wow! Anne had an amazing plastic surgeon (who did the surgeries for free for her - so generous & kind). But she looks amazing post-surgery! Still beautiful. And all of us would be blessed to have a friend like Debbie!
RIP Mike Reynolds🙏🏻
Mark Reynolds
Thank you, Dr. Christopher Nichols, for completing her surgeries for free. What a man!
He also did an amazing job!
"I don't see scars, all I see is my beautiful wife".
Indeed she's very beautiful inside and out💕. The moment she exclaimed "Jesus, help me!" I stopped wondering how she got out of it alive.
Amen
@@gatestimonymiracle1302 I also experienced a miracle rescue but it was a little different. Angels took over my body during an attack by two Cane Corso Italian Mastiffs. Thank you Jesus!
Me too. Then rescue came quickly.
Lord have mercy I hate she had to go through that!!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊😇💯🙏
I remember when this happened, I'm so glad to hear, and know she is healthy, and BEAUTIFUL,, this incident shook the MTB world at that time.. I'm so pround of Anne in many ways, brave, beautiful, a Marine, a warrior, a mountain biker still, that just shows how strong she is, what a woman, I'm so moved by this, its been a long time, but I think of her often, when I'm in the wood especially.. Thank you for being you, an inspiration to everyone that hears your story. OORAH !!!!! SALUTE !!!!
That lady should not be ashamed of her scars!
She was attacked by a mountain lion!
That's not her fault!
I am also glad she talked about how awesome martial arts and God are!
I agree it was the mountain lion the one who did it
Her friend was a proper lioness, may all people have friends like that!
Congratulations on her survival , that is amazing , she should be incredibly proud of herself
She's so lucky to be alive thank God, lessons for us to be learned and be prepared,
How could she have been prepared? Even if she carried a gun strapped to her, it's unlikely shed have had time or opportunity to get it out of the holster.
@@Linda-vx4fn my take away from this is, staying together with another person at all times, and each carrying bear spray ready to access, in this case the victim would probably not have been able to get it out and use it, but the second person could have, I know the victim would get sprayed too but i think it's still the best bet,
You're so pretty and thank god you made it
Her husband said ''I didn't see scars, i didn't see the injuries ,all he sees is his beautiful wife'' what a faithful,devoted man he is
And how courageous your friend is
May god bless you all💕💕
You should stick to the same producers/editors who did the episode on the man lost out at sea dor 70+ days.
She is beautiful. That would be terrifying! Happy she survived and she has a beautiful daughter and amazing husband and very brave friend!
God was with you and your Beautiful as ever no that !!!🙏🙏
AMEN
Amazing story Wonder, thank you for letting Anne share her story. I wish that beautiful family the best
Im so happy she is a live, thank God for her courageous Friend that help her, im very sorry the other gentiman didnt made it🙏
God bless you what a miracle💕🙏🍀
This was so intense. Damn. So glad she was okay but sorry for the guy who didn’t make it ❤️
He didn't survive because he was all alone. This is why you should never hike, bike or jog alone where animals like cougars and bears live.
@@tonyprice2256 Or if you do, have proper protection or weaponry. People will always solo hike/bike/etc and that shouldn’t have to change. It’s all about being smart and knowing your surroundings/potential threats.
@@LWoodworth95 Well anyone can and will do what they want to do. Hiking is probably a safer activity than jogging or biking though. The trouble with biking and jogging is that you are moving faster and less able to be aware of your surroundings and potential threats. When you are moving, especially on a bike like these people were, to a predator you look like prey fleeing from them, and you can not outrun a bear or cougar on a bike, nor could you fire any weapon from one effectively. With a cougar, you wouldn't even see him coming until it was too late. They could get you from behind, from the side or drop down from a tree on you. Cougar attacks are very rare, but all it takes is one to ruin your life. If you are hiking, you can be more conscious of everything around you, but you are still taking a risk. Lone predators are less likely to attack groups because they can see that they are outnumbered. But sometimes they even attack groups. I remember a story of a woman who was killed by a cougar in Canada who was horseback riding with her three children. Her young son was the first one to be attacked and severely injured. She jumped off her horse to save her son by fighting the cougar, but lost her life in the process. All the horses fled, but all the children were saved. A guy with a gun finally came along and shot the cougar that was guarding his kill.
So angry at the people mocking her on the comments, but theres no comment button to tell them off. Laughing and saying yummy yum etc. I am so angry that they think they're heroes for sitting safely in their lounge room mocking someone who suffered a horrific ordeal. I hate people like that!
It’s amazing she survived and I feel bad about the man who didn’t survive
He didn't survive because he was all alone. This is why you should never hike, bike or jog alone where animals like cougars and bears live.
Oh my she fought 💪💪💪💕💕💕💕 she is so strong.
Best friend ever 😭😭😭🙏
first I want to say i’m glad you’re still here with us. Sorry for the the family of the guys who got killed. I find it so strange and amazing how they shoot this documentary. like is the sense in the video real as in real life? I’m pretty sure but it seems so real is it ???
I remember this from years ago. I’m so glad this woman is okay
Two incredibly strong women! I'm glad she survived and sorry the man didn't. God was with them for sure, and she is beautiful and the Doctor was awesome
Animals are not people...they do not ambush anything. What a strong woman and so many people came to her aid and to help in her recovery including the good doctor. RIP Mark Reynolds.🌹❤
False
I have mad mad respect for Debbie for saving her friend I would’ve done the same thing😁😁😁
omg this is incredible never saw something like this . fighting for her life if she was by her self no chance at all . thaks debi with her cuorageous decision to fight and dont let go she survive wel done you are really amazon warriors
Thinking people are messing with you in the wilderness is not wise! I warned another hiker just last week that I spotted a black bear cub while hiking one of my favorite trails. It’s very good she survived though thank god, a truly lucky encounter with her friend being there
I remember this. I was living in Mission Viejo at the time and knew a man that knew her. Incredible courage from Anne and her friend Debbie. A great story with a timely rescue and excellent medical help at Mission Hospital.
Amazing woman. Real fighter. God bless you.
I heard on the video the Rangers were able to find and shoot the cat, but not clear if they did. That woman is very strong in her heart, mind, body and soul and she luckily she is still around to ride another day.
@KyoKonKyoChin probably because its hunting humans, remember the lost bike? Once they get a taste of human blood they tend to do that
Yes. They shot the 110 male mountain lion. Same day, fairly nearby, a 70lb female was also killed but by a car.
Wow Anne I am so happy you survived the attack you are amazing am so happy that the doctors and debi helped you
That's what u call a strong woman think her friend even stronger
One of the most beautiful stories I've heard Inna long time. I will be buying her book GOD IS SO GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!!!;
Is that the title of the book?
No ma'am
Skin deep by Ann Hjelle is the title
I'm proud of you ANNE & DEBBIE
Because Jesus is real. She said Jesus please help me and He did! Praise and thank you Lord Jesus!❤
AMEN
Or maybe it was the fella chucking rocks...
AMEN
@@stustuartf5306or maybe it was God who gave her friend the strength to no let her go!
The husband was pretty loyal it was pure love for this woman from James.
I can see in his face the Lord Jesus.
Mind you, if it had been the man who got messed up by the lion, no one would think even twice about the woman sticking with him!
Why is that?
@@Linda-vx4fn stfu
What do u mean the husband was pretty loyal
A mountain lion can take down a moose and battle a grizzly bear. They often kill and eat wolves 1 on 1. They can fend off a grizzly in a near stalemate
Can we talk about how they likely trained a mountain lion to attack a human looking mannequin in the re-creation? Where do they keep that fella so he doesn’t get to feelin like playing with humans some more?
probably put some meat inside it
That guy made her go first again to the scene of the attack. She is brave & went ahead. But he should’ve gone side to side.
Yeah. Why did they take off their helmets?
- She's courageous!
- She has a family & some don't even have that..
- Kind of make me want to take up biking again :)
She was showing him where she was attacked. He had no idea of where he was, she’s familiar with it!
💯😊😇👏🏼
"..made her go!" Grow up 😅🤣😂
Happy for her and those directly evolved in her tragedy, including those Hero's that all played a part in her survival, no more so then the poor gentleman who lost his life 😢 could be why she was attacked because she was on a direct course that the Mt. Lion was having his meal. From were the bike was and the man found and were her attack was. Idk just glad for her and her loved ones that she survived. And I also would like to think in a situation like that I would jump to save a friend or fight for my life because what else can you do when your in a situation that brings you to the most natural parts of life and thats the Circle of Life, and either give in to death or fight till you can't no more. Bless everyone involved.
The only thing to Fear is Fear Itself!
a true friend will get the Lion off my back . .
You luckily just grazed your life within that mountain lion's claws. I am happy for you to survive…. Hope the rest of your life goes much better with you real supporter (your husband) after that horrible attack. Even while watching your story ,I felt like I was as if in the action (in your story)..
Damn I would not have gone back to mountain biking if that happened to me
Meals On Wheels 🚲 🐆
✌🏼❤🇺🇸
Lol
not bad
I can already tell that bike helmet protected her head from those teeth going straight in
Dr
Christopher what a wonderful human. ❤️And Ann's friend. Hope you are all doing well in life today. ❤️
Crazy wow.
What is really sad about this story is that the two guys that actually save her life were not recognized. Im pretty sure if it wasn't for them the story would of ended up in tragedy. So thank for these two angels who save her life 🙏♥ not the friend!!
I agree. How come they are not recognized?
perhaps they didn't want to or nobody knows who they are. not everything is a conspiracy.
Her friend helped the most!!
Debbie is an incredible friend!!
“Good thing you were there” …….friend should have replied “don’t be cheeky” …. Much love ❤️
What an amazing friend. ❤
I like all the props 👍
ANNE I'M PRAYING FOR YOU
Very inspiring story.. ❤
Hats off
Brave, beautiful lady
I met Marine & her husband back in 2012, she came into a store I worked in & we bonded over being survivors of animal attacks. I'd told her I'd been bitten in the face by a dog when I was five & had to have a bunch of work done because it'd ripped my cheek upward (opposite direction & cut as hers & not as big) I'd gotten my nose broken in the process & had been blinded for a while from it, it made my face look sort of crooked from the nerve damage & gave me eye problems. She told me all about her story & I was literally shaking. We held eachothers hands & hugged before she left, she was so kind to me.
For years I'd been so self conscious & would often lie about my scars or "weird face" because I just didn't feel comfortable telling anyone about what happened to me. She was the first person I ever told my story to & after meeting her it took me a few more years of building acceptance for myself to be comfortable to share what happened to me without feeling shame or embarrassment... but meeting Marine was the catalyst to my healing & acceptance journey - I'll never forget her & I'll always be grateful for her! Hope she's doing great these days. Today I look at my crooked smile & find beauty in my imperfections, Idk if I would have never experienced this if it hadn't been for meeting her.
The helmet she wore also made a lot of difference. GOD bless her.❤
One of the first things I thought when the cat ran was the DIRT going in her wound. What a lucky lady. If those guys didn't show up I dont know how that was going to end. 😢😢😢😢 God bless them all. She loooks so good
Do what you love to do yes but go prepared you never know what animal human or what the area is going to do to you.
Debbie truly had superhuman courage that day. Knowing that if she got the cougar to let go, it could easily have set its sights on her? I am a pretty brave person, but I've been in a wolf-dog hybrid attack situation, and that was just a "dog." it is a petrifying thing to see and hear. I can't even imagine a cougar. I'm with this lady, I'd like to think I'd get in there for the fight, but I'm not so sure. It really is a very different story up close.
Golden word’s at the end by her Focus on time spend with family and friends God bless all
And without the plastic surgeon!!! How you miss him out!!
Huh?
She is so strong
shes sop beautiful i cant bealieve how good she looks now
Stay together and have a weapon of some kind on you to use.
Well where i live it's illegal to walk around with weapons
@@forturet4115 Anything can be a weapon.
MrWashu12 potato cannon
You are the hero woman
When debi arrived I was like wtf are you doing she's not a rope don't pull her legs lmfao
I’ve seen this before,and it totally freaked me out
Oh man that’s brutal, RIP to the other biker.
He didn't survive because he was all alone. This is why you should never hike, bike or jog alone where animals like cougars and bears live.
it wasnt only Debi but the two men that happened to be there at the right time!! thank god she made it!!
She had to yell for help. They were in shock at first but finally helped. This reenactment wasn't exactly how it happened.
That was intense ....Jesus saved her .
Jesus is dead
Are you sure it wasn't essential oils?
Jesus let it happen. Wouldn't have to be saved
@@MoneyMan28no, He's alive and well in heaven!
WOW THIS IS SOME GOOD ACTING
oh gosh i cannot bare the pain and blood
She was saved by the grace of God and her friend who came to her rescue deserves a standing ovation!!! The man who helped and called 911 was killed and he didn’t deserve it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 it was a miracle she survived. It just goes to show ya live everyday to the fullest because we never know what tomorrow will bring. 🖐🖐🖐
Kendra, please note that the man who made the 911 call was not the same man who was killed. If you go back to the 3:48 mark, you'll see that Anne stopped briefly to ask a man why he had stopped by the side of the trail. The man simply says "I found another bike". Anne then ignores the man, saying I thought "he's just messing with me". She then proceeds down the hill to the confrontation with the mountain lion. In one of the other specials on this story, more time is spent discussing what had already happened: the bike was indeed abandoned because the rider of that bike had been attacked and killed by the mountain lion. That man was Mr. Reynolds. In other words, the man who had ridden on the abandoned bike, who she never sees, was already dead long before Anne was attacked.
Although a rather good summary of the incident, this program is still a bit rushed at only 21 minutes in length, so misunderstandings of the sequence of events is quite understandable.
One more thing: although it's been a while since I watched the other specials and interviews with Anne, I am certain that Anne makes the point to NOT demonize the mountain lion. That's because the primary cause of the attack is not the mountain lion, it's the ever diminishing living space for wild animals, caused by the most dangerous species on the planet: the one we all see when we look in the mirror. 😞
He didn't survive because he was all alone. This is why you should never hike, bike or jog alone where animals like cougars and bears live.
This girl is strong beauitful brave ❤
Amazing story, that cat underestimated the power of the cougar he attacked.
Should have smashed the thing instead of playing tag of war with it 🙄
Her smile is something else . It's true Jesus is much Alive.The helmet Helpes a lot
Hol up are these the new ones FINALLY!?!?
I work at LowTor Quick Lube as a mechanic in Haverstraw New York and I’m enjoying my time there
This is why you need to be aware of where ever you are.
It’s beautiful out there but dangerous
HOLY SHHHHH ... what some people have to go through :(
she is still beautiful !
Indeed God is real and hears our cries.
I would also like to point out the man who noticed the stray bike and was smart enough and caring enough to call attention to the that oddity. Think about how much of our society is deemed safe normally - because good men do watch out for others and make it safer.
Well done to the lady and 2 men who charged in to rescue her. Well done to her husband for showing her true love. Well done to her for crying out to God and fighting to survive and for pressing through this into what is now a beautiful testimony of God's love and our value beyond simplistic shallow traits.
That would probably be the scariest moment of my life if that was me. I feel so bad that happened. I'm wondering how you got that on video
it’s a reenactment
So glad you made it! Wow, an unbelievable story. A true miracle and now another miracle, a baby girl. I wish I could give you a hug. Happy the rest of your life. X
Yes cougars are everywhere in the California wilderness Bears too that's why I live in the valley only chickens and Skunks to worry about
Everything was A miracle from the beginning till now
But I don't think it's that rare..? Live near woods here!..
Cougars are the reason I don't venture into the hills here without a sidearm.
Shes still naturally absolutely beautiful...
this women is i heard is a nice lady - i pray for this lady
Yes GOD SAVE HER THATE EHY U THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING
I can't believe that the cougar was so forward to come right to a bicycle track and attack 'very forward 'I thought that they would stay away from human s but no this cougar must have been very hungry 'it must be devastating stevie
The humans are in the cougar territory obviously the cougar is going to defend its home
Perfect family 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
30 seconds in, i gave up, jezzzzz, i cannot imagine
Omg😢
