A couple of times, actually. The most noteworthy was many years ago I was working as a mobile security officer conducting a patrol of an underground parking lot when I cam across a guy trying to commit suicide - he had taken some pills and had a hose hooked up from his tailpipe to car.

Ended up yanking the rear hatch window off to get him out. The freaky part was when he woke up - he just snapped, ran up the fire escape and tried to throw himself into traffic! Eventually got him handcuffed to a gurney and off he went with the paramedics.

Never got a thank you but I did see him around a couple of times after that, so he obviously had second thoughts about ending it all.

Also had a guy with an amputated leg just above the knee and a stroke victim that I gave first aid to until the ambulance arrived. Both survived.
