From the English article:

Four brave bystanders rescued a mother and her toddler after their car crashed into an Amsterdam canal on Tuesday. The four men dived in after the car and managed to pull the two out.
The mother parked her car and just got out of the car when it started moving again, with the toddler still inside, a spokesperson for the fire department said to local broadcaster AT5. She managed to get back into the car, but could not prevent it plunging into the Sloterkade.
Four bystanders saw what happened and immediately dove into the canal after the car. They broke the vehicle’s windows with stones and freed the mother and toddler.

I'd like to think so too, and I'm fairly sure if you and I were the only ones there we would. I myself wouldn't be able to stand by merely watching someone die in front of me. My fear of a lifetime of regret and asking myself "what if?" is far greater than my fear of any discomfort or risk of injury.
