this man cut off his own arm! 

He survived 5 days with a boulder weighing hundreds of pounds on his arm, then he cut off his own arm which I remind you would be excruciating pain. And then, with his cut off arm and being extremely dehydrated/hungry, he was able to get down the mountain. He has all my respect 100%.

Props to the cameraman for surviving that long without any food or water.

This sacrifice is the only reason this man is alive. Legend.

I still don't understand how people have the willpower to amputate themselves.

This man is an absolute legend.. respect to him

imagine having the guts to cut off your own hand

He truly single handedly did that

his arm: you didn’t have to cut me off-

This man is the definition of the main character

Background music is louder than his voice

what an absolute legend 👏🏻

Mad Respects For Him, a True Warrior!!!!🙌

Jigsaw would be proud

You know how "Gigachad" is a funny meme about exaggerated masculinity and all that?... This man is the only one I've seen reaching what I previously thought was an absolute impossibility outside of memes.

I read about this in a Bear Grylls book

Emo kids:hold my beer

Emo kids: hold my gun

I guess you can say he achieved all that one-handed... or one armed

Him climbing all the mountains in Colorado (The state I live in) surprises me, no one else before that hadn’t done it really tells you you can do ANYTHING

Pure determination

AND HE STILL WENT BACK 😮

Mountaineer, mechanical engineer

There’s also a movie called 127 hours that has Aron in it

This man is somehow able to put the camera in all these different places while being stuck in place...

The movie 127 Hours is great. Another great movie based on a true survival story (or should I say 'journey' as he doesn't survive in the end), is Into the Wild. The Revenant is an awesome epic but it dramatized the truth. What isn't exaggerated are most of the scenes; Leonardo DiCaprio went through hell filming that movie; filming in freezing temps, eating raw meat (he's a vegetarian), etc Also, one of my favourite books as a child was Hatchet. While it's not based on a true story, it's still a great novel for young readers. I never saw the film adaptation.

not this being on my bday💀

I find it overwhelmingly hard to stand without food for just 1 day man this is the most gruesome story I've ever read

Keep in mind he not only had to cut his arm off, but he had to break his arm too before he could cut it. He did this by literally torquing his arm until it snapped.

This man is the definition of sigma

Wow that hurts

This was on my birthday FINALLY SOMETHING ON MY BIRTHDAY

This guy went to my high school

Actually? bet your on a budget after that story come on down to Burger King! Eat like a king who's on a budget, Three tasty options, fries, drink and nuggets, All for five bucks - wait, that can't be right. Just confirm that that's the real price. At BK, have it your way. You rule!

With a pocket knife? How?

Gooddd informationnnnn

I wonder what happened to that arm afterwards

Women: " isnt it weird that we live longer than men?" Men:

The movie was actually really good 👍🏼😂

Respect 💯

Shanks Sasuke law

If you don't wanna wait he cut off his arm cause his arm was stuck in a rock (he used a pocket knife)

Shanks

Mad respect

I knew it i knew it A boulder fell on hes arm i knew it.

I heard this story when I was 6

that must have hurt so much

Aron is my name!!!!

Can somebody tell me the name of the background music?

Guts irl

I watched it it's spossed be back movie

legend his arm is still i the rock

imagine if he cut off the wrong arm

I watched the movie for the first time when I was 6 because my dad told me and my older brother to watch it telling us it was based on a true story, unfortunately I didn’t understand and thought it was real footage

When i saw this movie i was crying man all of his friends forgot about him and he was struggling and he only had a litte bit water left in his bottle so he wanted his mountain dew but it was far away from him i mean far away so he cut his arm off cause a big rock was on it the movies could 127 hours

I saw this man on discovery science with my father

Gabe Deyzel

This happened in my birthday

Him: "Amputate" Me: **Andrew Tate**

lEt mE eXpLaIn

I studied this in english class lmao

I watched the movie last week and my respect for this man is thru the roof

destroyed by minemanner

the fact that my birthday is on the 26th of April 😭😭

Oh my parents told me this

I Wonder if a mallet or a small pickaxe would’ve help him chip away the rock so he wouldn’t have to cut his arm off

Finally some story that is true and not made up by a 6 year old

I watched this movie many times i recommend

Darn this bone of Mine! It’s gettin in the way

If "tough sumbitch" was a person, respect 💯

Why didn’t the cameraman help him or call someone?

They made a movie about this

I was told this story before by my parents!! I was like 8 years old and now I’m 16, so cool to see you talking about it dude P.S. I heard he actually resulted in drinking some of his own urine to survive, before cutting off his arm. Gross but I thought I’d throw it out there

*Climber o' Heights* Pros: - 27% climbing efficiency - Survive extreme hunger and thirst Cons: -Will get stuck more often to boulders - Lose an arm

I know this one and there was made a movie of it 120 hours is called

Wait is this what the song is about

Did he eat his own arm or....

This man is a legend but can I just note out the camera man just watching him like 😊 🍲 "cut ya arm biach"

The Indominateable will to survive

So is his hand just there stuck ???

i would rather die that cut off my right arm dont ask why
