Christoffer, thank you so much for sharing your story. I am a 55 yr old retired psychiatrist/neurologist. I was on bicycle 5.5 yrs ago when hit by truck. I have same leg amputations as you. I have struggled with many things. Now being re-fitted for leg prosthetics. You inspire me. I too, was athelete before accident. Tennis player and swimming, bicycling. 98% of ppl my age with our injury never walk again. I'm in that 2%!! I aspire to get as good as you! You are doing great my brother-keep up the great work!
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad to hear that you are in those 2% and that I have inspired you. That really inspire me to keep on whit what I do. So, thank you once again and keep up the good work. Mabey, we meet one day 😊

My mom is 74 years old and she is a quadruple amputee as a result from UTI specticimia. She worked very hard to get in shape to walk with the protheses legs. The orthopedic surgeon told me not to give my mom false hope and she would never walk again. After reading your comments, one thing I notice is that all three of you are very athletic and active in sports. My mom climbed the hills almost everyday before the specticimia took her limbs. She is walking around with the prothesis legs and the ability to walk again restores her dignity too.
Very courageous and positive man. You are one of the unique
Thank you Benny!
Christoffer Lindhe - Triple Amputee you are strong and handsome keep fighting and may God bless you💜
I have no words. You are such a beautiful person. I wish you all the best.
WOW!! Your bravery is AMAZING, this is a crazy story! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kristie!
You do seem to have quite a positive attitude. How long after the accident did it take you to reach this point...and were you as positive a person before the accident?
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Chrisoffer!!
Thank you and I really like your channel as well :)
I love your positive attitude and how gracious you are when talking about the police who saved your life. Thank you for sharing your story
Thank you for your nice comment
What amazing strength of character! Your ability to discuss the accident with calm clarity blows me away.
Hi christoffer, i am glad you survived this horrornight. And youve learned so well to cope with youre amputations. You are doing it so well and keep going. And that stupid group of boys who did this to you, you gave them the right punishment to live youre lief like this and you show them ballz in this way. They didnt get you little. And believe me that scares them a lot. Love sabrina
Thank you Sabrina and I totally agree :)
OMG, I am SOOOO very sorry. People can be horrible--absolutely horrible. I'm glad you're still here with us.
Thank you Morgan :)
@@ChristofferLindheTripleAmputee I mean I can be a loud mouth, passive-aggressive jerk...but I could never live with myself if I hurt someone like that or put someone in harms way like that!
I'm so sorry for what happened bro, can't imagine if i could recover after that, you have such a great soul, respect!
Thank you Shayan Darabi :)
I am glad you can’t remember. You are a survivor.
This is so inspirational. I am shocked on how you overcame all of the things in your way and also have the courage and confidence to talk about all the things that have tried to stop you. I have been faced with many difficulties in life nothing like this but I know the feeling of waking up in a hospital bed without even knowing what happened and I am happy to see that there is hope in near future because of people like you I have never had amputations but I have had open fractures and many many broken bones were I can't use that limb for a few months but I can't imagine living without them. I am happy you are still living a life that is motivated and still patient. I have been moved by this story. I hope you live the best life from here on. I just got out of the hospital after being really really sick the past 10 weeks and I seen this and I am moved and I went around my house showing everyone this video. I hope that those guys watch this video and hate themselves to the point were it ruins there life and i know it's not nice to tell people this but for them I feel it should and that you lived for a reason and that's to be able to laugh in there face some day and say nice try but good will always win.
Thank you so much Tyler's Hayley!
I am so interested in what exactly happened that night.
you are a very strong person, an inspiration. and of course always look at the bright side, you still got your 5 senses with you, probably the luckiest man in the world for surviving such an accident.
Really makes you appreciate having two arms and legs
hemsk historia.. men grymt att du är så stark och modig och verkar fylld av positivitet osv.
inspirerande. :)
trevlig kanal du har föresten.
So glad you survived! It’s funny how you mentioned it was cold when you had your accident. I’ve read that UK soldiers injured on the Falklands battlefield survived injuries that otherwise would normally be fatal. The very cold weather conditions slowed down their bodies circulation stopping many from loosing all their blood until help arrived. If the night had been warmer they would very likely have not survived.
I was horrified just listening to the incident.. In fact I could not bring my self to hear completely about the accident... you are a brave brave man ..
Thank you, It was horrible but things turn and get much better by time :)
He had to have had a huge will to live.
Amazing! Congrats for your example of courage!
Omg that's horrific, you poor thing. Those guys following you, did you ever find out who they were or did the police find them?
Var synd, tack o lov du är här och mår prima. Gud var med dig.
Tack så mycket
Good man ! Your stronger than I'll ever be mentally and physically
Thank you Parmbir Singh! I think when you are exposed to a situation like this then the survival mode kicks in and it made me 10 times stronger 😊💪
Vilken stark historia, tack för att du delar den och ger andra hopp. För övrigt älskar jag Varberg, och förstår varför du trotsade dina föräldrar och åkte dit. Hoppas du lever ett rikt liv i dag!😊
Tack Emma för din fina kommentar. Absolut mitt liv är fantastiskt idag :) Ja, Varberg är en mycket fin stad
Damn man, props for persevering!

You are truly a walking miracle, and I'm so happy to see you survived. Aside from your physical strength keeping you alive after the accident, it appears that someone or something that loved you very much was watching over you that night. It's wonderful to hear your story of survival, thank you for sharing it!

Well done for being so fit. Like you say, that would have definitely contributed to your survival
Hoppas att inget mer händer dig❤️

Thank you A M
I'm so glad you survived this accident, and you are able to share your story and be an inspiration for people who are facing difficulties. You are positive, well-spoken, and nice. Thank you for sharing this story!
Thank you for your nice words and thanks for following my channel
Hi Christoffer, i've just discovered your channel (subbed) and really enjoying your content. A year ago I decided to start my own channel about loosing my left leg (TKA). What an amazing story, I lost mine through paragliding (story posted on my channel).
Your story is radical, I really feel for you. I was looking for trouble doing extreme sport, but to loose your leg due to the reckless cruelty of someone else is near unimaginable for me. I have great respect for your courage after what happened.
Thanks for great content, keep posting please.
Regards Chris
Thanks Chris
Praise God. I am so glad you survived such a terrible ordeal.
Thank you Bud M
I went to Christoffer's channel...to see how he was doing...and, WOW WOW WOW.
Thanks Danni ;)

I believe ♥
God bless you!!! You are an inspiration to many. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Daniel :)
You have a great smile! :) Thank you for being so generous in telling your very personal story. I think your story will help many people because of your positive attitude and your choice to celebrate the victory of the day. I wish for you all the very best in life. Thank you, again, for posting your story in such a thoughtful, generous way. Cheers, from a Canadian fan. (I edited this post for length.)
Oh! and... Celebrate on! :)
Thank you Jaykay :)

This video was a JOURNEY. Damn there are characters in video games or TV shows that get stabbed once and die instantly while you're over here haven gotten run over by a train TWICE, became a triple amputee, and still thriving. This is wayyy more than a miracle, honestly. What a GOAT. Best wishes to you.

Something similar happened to me last year but I lost my legs. I'm on a wheelchair now. I'm from Argentina.
Try to get stubbies from your prosthetist so you can start training your amputated legs. Se this video: th-cam.com/video/G-8xKVLOBmc/w-d-xo.html

You’re such a positive person. Can you shoot a video about the psychological process? How did you ever find the will to live and love life again? How did you accept your new body?
Hi! I will gladly make more videos on this topic. After viewing my video “Amputee Depression” what do you find missing and want me to bring up?
