Hero Pitbull vs. Runaway Wheelchair │ The Split‑Second Park Rescue That Sparked a Safety Revolution

A breezy afternoon turned into a heart‑pounding spectacle when an empty wheelchair broke free on a downhill path and rocketed toward a deep pond—until Koda, a blue‑brindle Pitbull out on a routine jog, sacrificed his own momentum (and a few bruised ribs) to stop it cold. Captured by security cameras, eyewitness cell phones, and high‑speed re‑creations, this cinematic breakdown shows every slow‑motion frame of the tackle that went viral worldwide and inspired engineers to create Brakewing, a next‑gen autonomous braking system now protecting wheelchairs across the U.S.
Watch exclusive interviews with:
• Devon Mallory, the marathoner who adopted Koda from a shelter
• Carlos Alvarez, tech investor whose life was saved—and who funded Brakewing’s R&D
• Ji‑Woo Park & Pixel Ortiz, the MIT/NASA team who turned Koda’s force‑vector data into code
• Disability‑rights advocates explaining why smart‑slope safety is long overdue
You’ll also see never‑before‑released test‑track footage, animated torque diagrams, and the emotional candle‑light vigil on Capitol Mall where Koda became the first dog awarded a national mobility‑safety medal.
