Dolphins will only save you if it's a shark tho usually. There are many accounts of dolphins leading swimmers to their deaths because they're playing or swimming together and they drown them or lead them out to sea
You know Death had a bet with somebody just to see how long he could keep this man alive. Or just constantly got sidetracked on the days he was supposed to die. There were a lot of other people dying cause....ya know...war.
The guy that was attacked by the great white died in a car crash a while ago. You survive the worst thing possible, just to be taken out by another car. Life is very fragile 😔
To be fair, driving a car is probably the most dangerous day-to-day activity we engage in. Virtually everyone who drives a car has been or will be in a car accident at some point. It's just a numbers game.
Clint Malarchuk really shoulda been on the list... He was a NHL goalie for the Sabres in the 80s. During a game in 1989, he was trying to block the net when two players accidentally slid into the crease. They collided and tumbled, and one of the player’s legs went up in the air... Do you see where I’m going with this? The player’s skate went up and slashed Malarchuk’s throat. It straight-up ripped his neck open, severing his carotid artery and jugular, and he fell forward, spraying blood all over the ice in front of him. Luckily, the team’s trainer had been a combat medic in Vietnam, and was used to dealing with grisly injuries. He jumped into gear, went out on the ice to the goalie, *reached into* the dude’s open neck, and pinch the severed arteries with his fingers. He continued to hold on to them as they got Malarchuk out of the rink and into emergency surgery - a move that saved him from bleeding out, and kept him alive. Hockey is so metal.
I remember watching a video about this story not long ago. I believe he didnt even miss the next game lol hockey players aren't athletes, they're warriors!
I've always considered myself to be quite the survival story, but mine's nothing against what you talked about. I lost three of my limbs (right arm, both legs) in a work accident in 1998. That was when i was 27, i recently turned 50. I'd say i'm alright
youve gotta admire shuilin's sense of humor. not a lot of people would be able to make jokes like that after such a traumatic accident. would definitely shop there
You could have mentioned Vesna Vulovic, a Serbian flight attendant who survived a plane crash from the altitude of 10,160 metres (33,330 ft). She still holds the record for the highest fall without a parachute. The fall wasn't easy on her: "Following the crash, Vulović spent days in a coma and was hospitalized for several months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, two broken legs, broken ribs and a fractured pelvis. These injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She made an almost complete recovery but continued to walk with a limp. Vulović maintained that she had no memory of the incident and thus had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. "
@@Pepe-lt2en Looked it up and apparently it was in Srbská Kaminice, Czechoslovakia(now in the Czech Republic) and the flight was JAT Flight 367 from Stockholm to Belgrade. It was bombed and broke into 3 pieces
@@Pepe-lt2en She remained inside a section of the tail of the plane for the whole fall, then crashed through trees and into a snowdrift if I remember correctly. This obviously helped to slow her fall over a little more time than smashing straight into the ground. I know she didn't remember the accident but blimey that must have been one hell of a ride. She must have been falling for a couple of minutes I would think too.
Meh anything over roughly 1500 feet puts you at terminal velocity any further up is irrelevant. Weather u fall from 2,000ft or 10,000ft is completely irrelevant.

After seeing the images of his accident, Peng definitely should've been number 1. While only surviving one accident, that one was worth the same as all the others combined. I have no idea how he survived, especially because the photo shows him lying in the street while there's a crowd just standing around staring at him, like they expected him to die any second. Not sure how he even survived long enough to get to the hospital. What an amazing guy! The photos of his recovery are just as unbelievable as his accident! Wow!
When you said the guy was cut in half I imagine straight down the middle, and then say there for five minutes trying to think how someone could ever survive from that
I thought he was cutted in half separating his left and right side of his body and I was like"BRUH HOW THE FUK DOES SOMEONE SURVIVE THAT KIND OF DAMAGE?"
i looked up the images and ended up looking through SEVERAL fatal accident pictures. im not necessarily grossed out, more rather unsettled and confused to see a human body torn up like a piece of roadkill. im almost afraid to wonder, but how the hell---like---WHAT?
@@Rqptor_omega the victim would later become 2 people through successful robotics and now says “it’s much easier to work when your co-worker thinks the same as you”
I can just imagine the last guy telling his stories to his grandkids.. and those children telling the stories to friends and teachers in class and they answer like "you really believe that? Dude he is lying to you" while it's actually true
4:22. I think being paralyzed is worse than death. After receiving an epidural and being unable to move my legs, I want to devote some research towards paralysis.
Normy and Edward Ratliff, a guy in my class woke up one morning and couldn't move half of his face. Turned out that two nerves somehow had touched and did something like a short circuit. Lucky for him the doctors were able to fix that.
Eliphas Leary A friend of mine woke up a few months ago and couldn't move her legs. She had several scans and tests at the hospital and they couldn't find any physical cause. Then a few weeks later she was paralysed from her neck down. Since then she's regained use of her arms and some feeling in one leg, but doctors are still no wiser as to her condition. It's crazy.
I am disabled myself, and I know a lot of people who are also disabled, some of whom have spinal injuries and are paralysed. They will ALL tell you that they are far happier to be alive and paralysed than dead. They lead happy lives, get married, work. I agree more research into paralysis is needed but please do not assume that paralysis is worse than death. You are doing a disservice to the large number of people living with spinal cord injuries who live extremely happy and fulfilling lives
Dude, some poor little kid in Pullman, WA actually died that way, a couple of years ago. I don't know if he hit a rock or what but he somehow impaled himself on his handlebar, just the wrong way, and bled out before paramedics could get there. The sharp metal pushed right through the "replacement" hand grip and straight into the kid. One in a million freak accident. Every parent's worst fucking nightmare.
bro when i was like 19 i was goin to the vape shop and got out of my car and i was stepping up a curb to the sidewalk when i just tripped like normal, landed on my two hands like a pushup, and immediately realized my elbow was fractured. i was so pissed cuz i drink plenty of milk lmao but im fragile af
I'll always remember the story of the girl who's car broke down in the middle of nowhere in subzero temperatures. she tried to walk to get help, but was overwhelmed by the cold and passed out in the snow. she literally froze solid, so solid when she was finally found and taken to the hospital, they couldnt even put an iv in her skin was so hard. when she (literally) defrosted she had only minor injuries (I seem to remember she only lost a few toes to frostbite)
I walked home drunk when I was 16 and passed out in a ditch. It was blizzarding out and a snow plow buried me even more (the plow probably got within a foot or two of my head while I was passed out) but woke me up. I had to rock back and forth for nearly a half hour until I could actually move freely enough to stand up. I threw up when I got home and my puke was like tar black.
As a plumber I had a helper who showed me the newspaper clipping of an x ray. He had fallen off a roof in Kissimmee and landed with a long piece of rebar through is neck. He was a good helper. Also made the best moonshine ever.
Great video Joe! As a nurse it always amazes me that some people can live through horrible mutilations but other times they die from a scratch that got infected.
Great episode. Steve Callahan's survival story is my all-time favorite. His sailboat sinks in the ocean and he survives 76 days in a rubber life raft. He wrote a great book about it and the TV series 'I Shouldn't be Alive' dramatized it in an episode of that show. I highly recommend it.
There are even more extreme versions of this. People surviving sinking to the ocean floor in a shipwreck for several days, two men (only one surviving) drifting more than halfway across the pacific from central america to asia for over a year, so on.
"Miss Unsinkable" This lady worked on all 3 "unsinkable" ships made by the same company...the last and most famous? Titanic. All 3 sank and she survived each time. Even swam /floated through the spinning rudders that was chopping up other people and lived to tell the tale.
The Titanic was Not the Last one but the second one. She was first on the Olympic wich was the First of the three Sisterships to be finisht wich had an accident but luckily didn't sink but needet to be repaired in the Dock then she transfered to the Titanic, the second Sistership to be finished, who obviously sank and later she was a nurse in the third Sistership the Britannic who was used in the First world war as a Hospitalship and sank after being attackt by, i think a german Submarine but i'm Not entierly sure, but the Britannic was defenetly sinken by enemy forces.
@@ntscho_tschi1009 The Britannic hit a German mine, but that wasn’t confirmed until 100 years after it sank, so until recently no one was certain whether it was a mine, a torpedo from a u-boat, some sort of accident on board, or a conspiracy wherein the British sunk the ship so they could blame the Germans for it and turn the British public and international opinion against the Kaiser. Something else that makes Violet badass to me is that a couple years after the Britannic went down, she went back to work for White Star Line. I’d never want to set foot on a ship again, especially not a White Star ship, but it seems she took some time to recover, then went back to serving on their ships.
@@Novozymandiaz Exactly what I was about to write.. He may have killed only 1 or 2 but had a lot of bad luck to get shotted quite early and get back behind the front to get fixed up. U never now. Or maybe he was a badass like the one Finnish sniper who killed 200+ soviets with just an iron sight and ended up by getting a hit of an high explosive shell right in his face and survive
I've seen the video of Peng before (to anyone interested, it's on Liveleak), had no idea he lived through that. Dude's just laying there on the side of the road, fiddling around with his guts, poking at his lower torso that's lying next to him, and talking to bystanders. A couple times he arches his back upward to get a better look at his torso and the expression on his face just reads "goddamnit."
WW2 had anti-biotics, penicilin was around by then. in ww1 a few countries had anti-biotics but not all of them, i believe the first antibiotics came in to regular use in the early 1900's.
And I thought my grandfather had a crazy story: he got shot in the outskirts of Stalingrad and thus was spared the fate of the 6th army division. He then fought in the Normandie, where a plane dropped a bomb next to him. He got knocked over and picked up his rifle and continued fighting. Later on the same day, he surrendered and got sent to a hospital. They were unable to get every piece of metal out of his body! One of them, he carried in his head until the day he got cremated (over 60 years later).
@@zombiasnow15 yes it is. I've wondered quite a bit about what would be worse: The brutality of CQC in the middle ages? Standing in a tight formation with muskets and cannons ploughing through? Mud and mustard gas for days? Russian campaign? Vietnams green hell? I simply don't want any of it. However, if I had to choose, then it would be the first as it depended far more on your own abilities and there were no stray shells, few fights that go on uninterrupted for days, and once you leave the battlefield it's mostly over...
Just found this channel yesterday and I love it! You're a natural teacher and explain things in such an entertaining and informative way. I love finding new channels that I love...gives me something to binge lol. Great channel!!
"There are pictures on-line." So of course, I just HAD to look ... Pictures?! There is a VIDEO! A video of Peng Shuilin laying on the ground, cut in half and STILL moving. And talking. Cars and motorcycles driving by, people standing around ... It's like FIVE minutes long! And by the end, the ambulance STILL hasn't arrived O_o
He was already lucky to have survived being shot in the Anglo-Boer war... Add to that surviving being shot multiple times WW1 (not known for having had great survival rates at the front) its a miracle already he could still fight in WW2 at the age of 60! Then survived that. Why isn't there a movie or series about this guy? He's a freaking legend.
I'm surprised even the grim reaper was able to take that general's life!!! I'm going to assume the only way he did it is because the general was ready to go and he allowed it.
Stop encouraging people to send themselves to hell by doing all sorts of dangerous things, you maniac. Before you know it there'll be people stepping on two lego bricks at once.
My dad is a huge fan of yours. He was a LRRP in Veitbam..These guys performed a very interesting job that required a lot of courage. There are so many interesting stories to be told about them yet most people have never heard of them. They are on par with SEALS , Green Berets and any other elite unit. If you did a video about them it would make a lot of vets reaching the end of their lives very happy,, including my father.
I would love to know the actual odds for my own survival. In 2016, I survived a brain aneurysm rupture with no immediate complications. Most people die pretty darn quickly when a blood vessel in their brain ruptures. It causes just too much damage for human survival. Usually there are no known symptoms for the aneurysm forming too. If they survive the rupture, most people are affected immediately by stroke-like issues (partial paralysis, etc). Me? I had symptoms (that no one recognized as such) of the aneurysm forming for over a year before it ruptured. I also suffered through a leak about 2 months before it ruptured completely (when I went to the ER, testing was thought to be too much radiation and I was simply offered opioids). Once my aneurysm fully ruptured, I was shuttled to several hospitals until we found one that had neurosurgery and went immediately into surgery. After 26 days in the ICU, I was released with absolutely no physical complications and no mental complications (until this year, the damage to my brain led to epilepsy). I've been told that there just simply are NO odds for my experience. It just doesn't happen. I think my Ehlers-Danlos genetic mutation helped by making my body flexible enough to survive through the experience.
Could your ED syndrome have actually been the cause of all this? Conective tissue disorders do often cause problems with arteries and blood vessels. Fascinating and of course happy that you made such a great recovery either way.
There was an old Victorian railway worker, testing the explosives for a tunnel, he poked a stick of dynamite with a metal rod, it exploded and launched the rod through his skull
tanklord99 da boss i think his name was phineas gage? because the rod went straight through his frontal lobe, which is where a lot of brain activity related to emotions and personality occurs, people who knew him said he wasn’t the same after the accident- apparently he was ill-tempered and foul mouthed. it’s crazy how someone could survive that :0
I once met a nice old man who had been in a war(can’t remember what war), he was shot in the head and he never had it removed!apparently it missed all the important parts of his brain and he said it would have been more dangerous to remove it rather than keep it in. He was in like his late 50s to mid 60s and he was more active than me!

My daughter's husband my son-in-law, he was in a severe accident when he was 13 he was riding a bike hit a car going downhill extremely fast and had his arm severed off at the shoulder and then a severe head injury amongst tons of other issues internal bleeding comatose and then they reattached his arm. In fact he was able to play guitar again. He had to learn to walk talk all that again and had his arm reattached even though it was pretty mangled but still he could have an arm again. His arm swelled up down at the forearm then it had to have a fasciotomy on that arm. He has a 12 inch scar up his stomach a 6in scar up his forearm scars all over the place on his body and was left with very little tricep muscle and tons of skin grafts and surgeries and a 4 to 6 inch scar on his inner thigh where they removed his artery from his leg to use it in his arm amongst the huge scar on his forearm and the huge scar and missing flesh from his left arm. If that wasn't enough years later at 37 and this is less than a couple years ago he had suffered a severe stroke my daughter found him after work laying on the floor for over 8 hours. Stop breathing my daughter gave him CPR till the ambulance got there he was close to death but he has recovered quite a bit and is still recovering and is now paralyzed on his right side but he is getting better he's able to walk with a cane and a brace has a lot of effects from it but then not long after got a severe infection in his leg and then he had a minor heart attack but a heart attack which he had surgery on his heart and then he ended up with stage 4 kidney disease which Now is better he is at a stage 3 now. I'm sure there is some things I'm leaving out LOL. other issues , he's definitely been through a lot hopefully this is the end of things but with his record who knows LOL . Sorry for the long ass comment.
Let's add mine into the mix! I was 11 years old when I got hit by a car travelling at 80mph in a 30 zone. I survived what's known as a Trauma Induced Full Right Hindquarter Amputation. In simple terms? My pelvis was snapped clean in half on a 45 degree angle, so no amputation surgery needed. It was a full and complete Hemipelvectomy by way of a Transpelvic Amputation. Doctors only perform this as a Last Resort because most people don't survive it, what with all the main stuff inside the pelvic ring. My sacrum, right butt cheek, right hip, and entire right leg were all torn off when the corner of the car clipped my hip. Think of a chicken wishbone. I needed 11 litres/44 units of blood, two day coma, three major surgeries in which my surgeon had to play Tetris to put all of my organs back inside. My ovaries now sit where my right hip should be and my right kidney is slightly higher than most. My skin graft is the size of a dinner plate, while my lower spine is a brutal mess. I have an operation scar that goes from below my ribcage all the way down. My weight dropped to 23 pounds, I had to be sedated every 3rd day, and put to sleep to be moved so much as an inch due to how fragile the remains of my pelvis were. My left leg swelled like a balloon and they really thought I would lose that one, too, but again I got lucky. I died twice before Buffy made it cool. Once for 1:37, then again for just under 3 minutes. I lost a good chunk of bowel due to gravel rash, my right kidney got a bit of a nip and I'm very susceptible to kidney infections. When a journalist asked my surgeon how he managed to put me back together, the reply was "I improvised!" It's been 29 years since it happened and I still expect to grow a third arm or something! I got so, so lucky to survive, but survive I did ☺

The YT algorithm took me to your video on severed heads and I do like your video style and the general topics you seem to cover, also your humor is subtle but doesn't come off as forced :] That's the reason you had such an influx of about 15.000 new subs here.

If he were lucky, when he fell asleep at the wheel he would have drove into a soft hedge. I had an old car, 69 Mustang, and while in a freeway tunnel the radiator hose exploded and the antifreeze caused me to do a 180. I stopped pointing the wrong way against the curb. Somehow, the only damage to the car was a scratch in the chrome in the front bumper. I still don't know how that happened. I hit the guard rail and only got a scratch on the bumper?
Hey Joe, since you apparently LOVE stories about badass people who had really crazy lives, you NEED to look up into the bio of Jack Churchill. This guy fought in the second world war armed with a sword, a bow and arrows, and a bagpipe. I swear I'm not making any of this up, and there are absolutely incredible anecdotes about this guy.
Oh man... That's rough. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery. Have you thought about writing a book? I think a lot of men could learn a lot about surviving Grey's anatomy from you. With such a high casualty rate, we need you.
Shoulda talked about one of the two famous women who survived 30,000+ feet plunges from commercial airplane crashes. Maybe they weren’t included because it’s happened more than once, but the one girl (a teenager mind you) who ended up in the Amazon and survived for 10 days in the wild with a broken leg, severe concussion, and broken collarbone is LEGENDARY.
I stub my toe on a corner and I yell. The dude survives like 8 bullets, 2 plane crashes, and becoming a POW 2 times and dies peacefully at the mf age of 80

My favorite survival story is that of Allison Botha. She survived being disembowled and having her neck cut from ear to ear, she crawled her way to the road holding her guts and her head in place, they say there was only like a few inch strip of flesh holding her head to the rest of her body and she managed to survive that. Strong does not even begin to describe her.

There’s a young guy in Melbourne called Liam Knight who survived a steel rod straight through the brain, they had to cut it to get him into the ambulance just like with Andrew Linn. A kid threw it over a fence at a party and Liam literally got speared with it. He did suffer brain injury and had to relearn how to walk, and has epilepsy now, but other than that? Completely okay.

Talk about the Final Destination.... aw, the whole topic is grim. I wonder if Joe Scott has already done a video on angst in philosophy terms. Death is more than common, it is inevitable and is the integral part of life, but thinking of it....

Dude that nailgun story is wild. The exact same thing happened to my grandpa. He still suffers from seizures and his mental state has been reduced quite a bit. I've been told ever since the injury he has been a lot more, childish. He has a harder time controlling his emotions.

It’s so good to hear that Peng survived. I saw a video of the aftermath of his accident, him lying in the middle of the street in pieces while COMPLETELY conscious, on LiveLeak awhile back...I just assumed he’d died. Something similar but involving a forklift happened to a kid named Loren Schaulers and he and his wife have a TH-cam channel I subscribe to where they document his journey. Inspirational stuff!
My organs tried to kill me. Lack of insulin (shit’s expensive and I was SO broke!) caused most organs to go into basically power-saver mode (yes, my heart did stop) but two weeks later, I was cleared to go home. Joe’s expression at 9:12 reminds me of my friend’s expression as she watched a nurse pull 41cm of tubing out of my arm. I wanted to look…. The nurse actually had to hold my head in place so I wouldn’t. Felt really weird… I still have the 2mm scar where the tubing was inserted. 2mm may sound small, but measure it on yourself on, say, the inside of your wrist. Suddenly, in looks freaking *huge*!

The part about the surfer being saved by dolphins is not unheard of. Dolphins often take on sharks like that.

Dolphins will only save you if it's a shark tho usually. There are many accounts of dolphins leading swimmers to their deaths because they're playing or swimming together and they drown them or lead them out to sea
dolphins will take any opportunity to fuck with sharks
It just amazes me that dolphins would see a shark and beat the living shit out of it, and they see it like a game.

They say after the accident, Peng Shuilin was half the man he used to be.
I looked at the pictures of the accident and now I’m scarred
ur going to hell for that one 😂
I thought for sure the grocery store was going to be "Shorty's". My thoughts were obviously short lived. 😂
"How to lose 75 lbs. in one day"
Another accident like that, and there'll be no Peng left.
youve gotta admire shuilin's sense of humor. not a lot of people would be able to make jokes like that after such a traumatic accident. would definitely shop there
You could have mentioned Vesna Vulovic, a Serbian flight attendant who survived a plane crash from the altitude of 10,160 metres (33,330 ft). She still holds the record for the highest fall without a parachute. The fall wasn't easy on her:
"Following the crash, Vulović spent days in a coma and was hospitalized for several months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, two broken legs, broken ribs and a fractured pelvis. These injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She made an almost complete recovery but continued to walk with a limp. Vulović maintained that she had no memory of the incident and thus had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. "
Neko Tamo where did she land
@@Pepe-lt2en Looked it up and apparently it was in Srbská Kaminice, Czechoslovakia(now in the Czech Republic) and the flight was JAT Flight 367 from Stockholm to Belgrade. It was bombed and broke into 3 pieces
@@Pepe-lt2en She remained inside a section of the tail of the plane for the whole fall, then crashed through trees and into a snowdrift if I remember correctly. This obviously helped to slow her fall over a little more time than smashing straight into the ground. I know she didn't remember the accident but blimey that must have been one hell of a ride. She must have been falling for a couple of minutes I would think too.
Wow
Meh anything over roughly 1500 feet puts you at terminal velocity any further up is irrelevant. Weather u fall from 2,000ft or 10,000ft is completely irrelevant.
Also Phineas Gage, the guy who survived a metal rod being shot through his head, severing his his prefrontal cortex from his brain stem. Made a full recovery within 10 years
This was the comment I was looking for
Didn't this make him loose any ability to feel emotion? Aswell as making him very aggressive. Pretty sure that was basically a lobotomy.
@@Novozymandiaz he felt emotion probably more severly as his higher functioning brain wasn't their to filter what he expressed. Essentially imagine having zero filter, just your raw self completely expressing the good the bad and the ugly
Yeah, I was thinking about him too. Seen the X-ray ... *holy crap!*
yeah lol learned that from game theorists
After seeing the images of his accident, Peng definitely should've been number 1. While only surviving one accident, that one was worth the same as all the others combined. I have no idea how he survived, especially because the photo shows him lying in the street while there's a crowd just standing around staring at him, like they expected him to die any second. Not sure how he even survived long enough to get to the hospital. What an amazing guy! The photos of his recovery are just as unbelievable as his accident! Wow!

When you said the guy was cut in half I imagine straight down the middle, and then say there for five minutes trying to think how someone could ever survive from that
I looked up the pictures 👁👄👁 its still hard to imagine getting cut in half and you're the .01% chance of survival
I thought he was cutted in half separating his left and right side of his body and I was like"BRUH HOW THE FUK DOES SOMEONE SURVIVE THAT KIND OF DAMAGE?"
i looked up the images and ended up looking through SEVERAL fatal accident pictures. im not necessarily grossed out, more rather unsettled and confused to see a human body torn up like a piece of roadkill. im almost afraid to wonder, but how the hell---like---WHAT?

4:22. I think being paralyzed is worse than death. After receiving an epidural and being unable to move my legs, I want to devote some research towards paralysis.
Normy and Edward Ratliff, a guy in my class woke up one morning and couldn't move half of his face. Turned out that two nerves somehow had touched and did something like a short circuit. Lucky for him the doctors were able to fix that.
Eliphas Leary A friend of mine woke up a few months ago and couldn't move her legs. She had several scans and tests at the hospital and they couldn't find any physical cause. Then a few weeks later she was paralysed from her neck down. Since then she's regained use of her arms and some feeling in one leg, but doctors are still no wiser as to her condition. It's crazy.
I wish her the best of luck. So odd these things happen.
I am disabled myself, and I know a lot of people who are also disabled, some of whom have spinal injuries and are paralysed. They will ALL tell you that they are far happier to be alive and paralysed than dead. They lead happy lives, get married, work. I agree more research into paralysis is needed but please do not assume that paralysis is worse than death. You are doing a disservice to the large number of people living with spinal cord injuries who live extremely happy and fulfilling lives
if you're paralyzed you could potentially have your brain transferred in the future
Yet some die from tripping on a pebble. I nearly died when my bike hit a small rock and the handlebar went thru my leg. Yeah that was fun....
Jesus, that reminds me of when I was younger, somehow my friend's kickstand went through his ankle when he fell.
Dude, some poor little kid in Pullman, WA actually died that way, a couple of years ago. I don't know if he hit a rock or what but he somehow impaled himself on his handlebar, just the wrong way, and bled out before paramedics could get there. The sharp metal pushed right through the "replacement" hand grip and straight into the kid. One in a million freak accident. Every parent's worst fucking nightmare.

I'll always remember the story of the girl who's car broke down in the middle of nowhere in subzero temperatures. she tried to walk to get help, but was overwhelmed by the cold and passed out in the snow. she literally froze solid, so solid when she was finally found and taken to the hospital, they couldnt even put an iv in her skin was so hard. when she (literally) defrosted she had only minor injuries (I seem to remember she only lost a few toes to frostbite)
Human tardigrade
That's pretty *cool*
Wow she really knows how to turn up the heat
I walked home drunk when I was 16 and passed out in a ditch. It was blizzarding out and a snow plow buried me even more (the plow probably got within a foot or two of my head while I was passed out) but woke me up. I had to rock back and forth for nearly a half hour until I could actually move freely enough to stand up. I threw up when I got home and my puke was like tar black.
I gotta love Peng's story. Dude's evident sense of self-deprecating humour in the face of tremendous adversity is hilarious and inspiring.

Great episode.
Steve Callahan's survival story is my all-time favorite. His sailboat sinks in the ocean and he survives 76 days in a rubber life raft. He wrote a great book about it and the TV series 'I Shouldn't be Alive' dramatized it in an episode of that show. I highly recommend it.
There are even more extreme versions of this. People surviving sinking to the ocean floor in a shipwreck for several days, two men (only one surviving) drifting more than halfway across the pacific from central america to asia for over a year, so on.
"Miss Unsinkable"
This lady worked on all 3 "unsinkable" ships made by the same company...the last and most famous? Titanic. All 3 sank and she survived each time. Even swam /floated through the spinning rudders that was chopping up other people and lived to tell the tale.
The Titanic was Not the Last one but the second one. She was first on the Olympic wich was the First of the three Sisterships to be finisht wich had an accident but luckily didn't sink but needet to be repaired in the Dock then she transfered to the Titanic, the second Sistership to be finished, who obviously sank and later she was a nurse in the third Sistership the Britannic who was used in the First world war as a Hospitalship and sank after being attackt by, i think a german Submarine but i'm Not entierly sure, but the Britannic was defenetly sinken by enemy forces.
Her name was Violet Jessop.
@@ntscho_tschi1009 The Britannic hit a German mine, but that wasn’t confirmed until 100 years after it sank, so until recently no one was certain whether it was a mine, a torpedo from a u-boat, some sort of accident on board, or a conspiracy wherein the British sunk the ship so they could blame the Germans for it and turn the British public and international opinion against the Kaiser.
Something else that makes Violet badass to me is that a couple years after the Britannic went down, she went back to work for White Star Line.
I’d never want to set foot on a ship again, especially not a White Star ship, but it seems she took some time to recover, then went back to serving on their ships.

I've seen the video of Peng before (to anyone interested, it's on Liveleak), had no idea he lived through that. Dude's just laying there on the side of the road, fiddling around with his guts, poking at his lower torso that's lying next to him, and talking to bystanders. A couple times he arches his back upward to get a better look at his torso and the expression on his face just reads "goddamnit."
Honestly at that point I'd feel very "god damnit" about the situation too. Not much you can do in that situation, so you just kinda gotta accept it.

And I thought my grandfather had a crazy story: he got shot in the outskirts of Stalingrad and thus was spared the fate of the 6th army division. He then fought in the Normandie, where a plane dropped a bomb next to him. He got knocked over and picked up his rifle and continued fighting. Later on the same day, he surrendered and got sent to a hospital. They were unable to get every piece of metal out of his body! One of them, he carried in his head until the day he got cremated (over 60 years later).

Vietnams green hell?
I simply don't want any of it. However, if I had to choose, then it would be the first as it depended far more on your own abilities and there were no stray shells, few fights that go on uninterrupted for days, and once you leave the battlefield it's mostly over...

I would love to know the actual odds for my own survival. In 2016, I survived a brain aneurysm rupture with no immediate complications. Most people die pretty darn quickly when a blood vessel in their brain ruptures. It causes just too much damage for human survival. Usually there are no known symptoms for the aneurysm forming too. If they survive the rupture, most people are affected immediately by stroke-like issues (partial paralysis, etc).
Me? I had symptoms (that no one recognized as such) of the aneurysm forming for over a year before it ruptured. I also suffered through a leak about 2 months before it ruptured completely (when I went to the ER, testing was thought to be too much radiation and I was simply offered opioids). Once my aneurysm fully ruptured, I was shuttled to several hospitals until we found one that had neurosurgery and went immediately into surgery. After 26 days in the ICU, I was released with absolutely no physical complications and no mental complications (until this year, the damage to my brain led to epilepsy).
I've been told that there just simply are NO odds for my experience. It just doesn't happen. I think my Ehlers-Danlos genetic mutation helped by making my body flexible enough to survive through the experience.
Could your ED syndrome have actually been the cause of all this? Conective tissue disorders do often cause problems with arteries and blood vessels. Fascinating and of course happy that you made such a great recovery either way.

My daughter's husband my son-in-law, he was in a severe accident when he was 13 he was riding a bike hit a car going downhill extremely fast and had his arm severed off at the shoulder and then a severe head injury amongst tons of other issues internal bleeding comatose and then they reattached his arm. In fact he was able to play guitar again. He had to learn to walk talk all that again and had his arm reattached even though it was pretty mangled but still he could have an arm again. His arm swelled up down at the forearm then it had to have a fasciotomy on that arm. He has a 12 inch scar up his stomach a 6in scar up his forearm scars all over the place on his body and was left with very little tricep muscle and tons of skin grafts and surgeries and a 4 to 6 inch scar on his inner thigh where they removed his artery from his leg to use it in his arm amongst the huge scar on his forearm and the huge scar and missing flesh from his left arm. If that wasn't enough years later at 37 and this is less than a couple years ago he had suffered a severe stroke my daughter found him after work laying on the floor for over 8 hours. Stop breathing my daughter gave him CPR till the ambulance got there he was close to death but he has recovered quite a bit and is still recovering and is now paralyzed on his right side but he is getting better he's able to walk with a cane and a brace has a lot of effects from it but then not long after got a severe infection in his leg and then he had a minor heart attack but a heart attack which he had surgery on his heart and then he ended up with stage 4 kidney disease which Now is better he is at a stage 3 now. I'm sure there is some things I'm leaving out LOL. other issues , he's definitely been through a lot hopefully this is the end of things but with his record who knows LOL .

Dano O'Neil some people are destined for greatness. I hope he is feeling much better.
Let's add mine into the mix!
I was 11 years old when I got hit by a car travelling at 80mph in a 30 zone. I survived what's known as a Trauma Induced Full Right Hindquarter Amputation. In simple terms? My pelvis was snapped clean in half on a 45 degree angle, so no amputation surgery needed. It was a full and complete Hemipelvectomy by way of a Transpelvic Amputation. Doctors only perform this as a Last Resort because most people don't survive it, what with all the main stuff inside the pelvic ring.
My sacrum, right butt cheek, right hip, and entire right leg were all torn off when the corner of the car clipped my hip. Think of a chicken wishbone. I needed 11 litres/44 units of blood, two day coma, three major surgeries in which my surgeon had to play Tetris to put all of my organs back inside. My ovaries now sit where my right hip should be and my right kidney is slightly higher than most. My skin graft is the size of a dinner plate, while my lower spine is a brutal mess. I have an operation scar that goes from below my ribcage all the way down.
My weight dropped to 23 pounds, I had to be sedated every 3rd day, and put to sleep to be moved so much as an inch due to how fragile the remains of my pelvis were. My left leg swelled like a balloon and they really thought I would lose that one, too, but again I got lucky. I died twice before Buffy made it cool. Once for 1:37, then again for just under 3 minutes.
I lost a good chunk of bowel due to gravel rash, my right kidney got a bit of a nip and I'm very susceptible to kidney infections. When a journalist asked my surgeon how he managed to put me back together, the reply was "I improvised!"
It's been 29 years since it happened and I still expect to grow a third arm or something! I got so, so lucky to survive, but survive I did ☺

The dude survives like 8 bullets, 2 plane crashes, and becoming a POW 2 times and dies peacefully at the mf age of 80
He looked death in the face and simply said ✨ no ✨
5:50 and that sneak response you did....I always come back to it just to make my day
me: gets bit by a shark
me: *finds the shark and bits it back*
You're a good bitter, a bit too bitsy imo
Modern problems require modern solutions
Nice political compus

I have never cringed so hard in my life when they showed the recreation of that pipe going through that guy’s throat. 🥶
I bet a different kind of pipe can go through his throat ;)
“Don’t try this at home”
Me: *slowly drops knife*
Doctor: you have a 3 inch nail in you're head...
Man: hahaha..wait really?
*Man gets a pole through his mouth and break*
Man: hey I'ma text my dog real quick.
"You have a 3 inch nail in you are head"
Man: "your*"

@@michealhead2239 uhh..... what...?
I survived stubbing my toe... top that.
OMG, so brave!
;)
I got a splinter. Topped.
Energy Vanquish I survived stepping on lego... I win 😂
Energy Vanquish I can't believe someone else also said this! Dang it! I posted this then scrolled down to see that I wasn't the first!! You ruined me!
How did you do it?!?!
My favorite survival story is that of Allison Botha. She survived being disembowled and having her neck cut from ear to ear, she crawled her way to the road holding her guts and her head in place, they say there was only like a few inch strip of flesh holding her head to the rest of her body and she managed to survive that. Strong does not even begin to describe her.
Please tell me that number one has a fucking movie or something because holy shit I would watch that in a heartbeat
DarkStride well, not movie but a weird disco jam by Bony M
LMAOO for real this guy flicked off death for a living
The most _DURABLE_ man in the world
There's a french movie about Rasputin.
No they aren’t, however they are making a sequel to the emoji movie!
A "Pod" of Dolphins. Not a herd. They are not the Tide Pod of Dolphins either.
Makes me wonder if Manatee come in a herd? Probably not.
Phil Rabe
A group of Manatees is called an Aggregation.
Syn's Arcade
What about womanatees ?
Wait so what you're saying is they've got dolphin flavored tide pods now?
And a dolphin’s last words...”I’m not a tuna!”
There were 2 brothers who worked as skyscraper window cleaners. The ropes broke when they were on the 47th floor. One of them survived and recovered completely without any permanent damage.
I cracked up in the train at the "Schlong" God damn Joe!
What was he referring to?
Thank you for telling me not to do these things Joe. That was a close one!
Yeah i know i was thinking about *RIPPING MY ENTIRE FUCKING UPPER BODY OFF* but now idk
Just wanna say that I love ur channel. It's one of the best channels on TH-cam in general. To the point, not too too serious. I have adhd but the way you speak is broken into compounds and I absorb all the information better. Plus I absolutely love that your videos aren't littered with ads.
There’s a young guy in Melbourne called Liam Knight who survived a steel rod straight through the brain, they had to cut it to get him into the ambulance just like with Andrew Linn. A kid threw it over a fence at a party and Liam literally got speared with it. He did suffer brain injury and had to relearn how to walk, and has epilepsy now, but other than that? Completely okay.
Well, there's been a similar story in a neighboring town with a kid who fell off his bike and onto a neighbor's fence....except dead on site. Don't spear pipes through brains, it's kind of... dangerous.
@@uladzimirdarozka3882 obviously surviving a head injury that traumatic is a rarity. Obviously don’t try and spear pipes through brains. This is a video about miraculous survivals from serious injuries so I just wanted to share a similar story 🤷🏼♀️
@@littlefishiesinthese I know, I know, no pun intended. It's just the chances of survival are way too darn slim. On the other note, death penalty has already been imposed onto all living beings, and we have no way of knowing how and when. Survivals of grave injuries here...and just a couple of days ago there's been a car crash in Warsaw, where some guy completely destroyed his car smashing into the exit ramp divider, and he was just fine; the only thing is, a piece of debris flew over into a windshield of a poor lady driving on the opposite side, not even seeing the accident. Talk about the Final Destination.... aw, the whole topic is grim. I wonder if Joe Scott has already done a video on angst in philosophy terms. Death is more than common, it is inevitable and is the integral part of life, but thinking of it....
@@uladzimirdarozka3882 Yikes, I can't imagine how terrible that had to have been for the fence owner and the boy's family.
These people had massive angels on their shoulders.. either that or were amazing people that got good karma smile their way
Litch The Shinigami Or the human body has so many redundancy systems that they recover and readjust .
@@codename495 Nah.. if we did then a simple cut wouldn't be able to kill you..
If they actually had massive angels/good karma they would've never suffered all that to begin with lol except probably the war psycho, since he actually enjoyed it
Dude that nailgun story is wild. The exact same thing happened to my grandpa. He still suffers from seizures and his mental state has been reduced quite a bit. I've been told ever since the injury he has been a lot more, childish. He has a harder time controlling his emotions.
Absolutely love your videos my man! I've binged for days on end now, and can't stop scratching this Joe itch! Super interesting topics and very diversed, you get into a bit of every thing. Really good editing and you are super charismatic! You're an inspiration! Greeting from Norway! 😁👌
Hey thanks man!
dante: "OH, hahaha!! Oh, you- thats... wow, you got my good doc you- hahaha... ohhh thats funny stuff... but seriously why do i feel nauseous?"
docter: stares*
dante: "Oh holy SH-"
This is the second video i've seen on this channel and I already love it. Keep it up man!
When I was three, I had a pallet of 2x4’s fall on me. I walked away with just a scratch on my nose.
the entire crew of the Endurance is my fav survival story
Steve Haigh have you read the book by Lansing or something else?
Hey there Joe, I really enjoy your videos, I learn something new with each one and laugh while doing it. I currently have Covid 19 and am trapped in my apartment all alone, your videos are keeping me from going bat shit crazy! Thank you to you and your team for all of your time and energy that you put into this channel! ~Big fan, Britt B
the last guy - holy blank like ad infinitim...
interesting info in your vids, plus you’re really quite entertaining. :)
you have a wonderful dry sense of humor - i love it. 🙃
Thanks!
5:46 this reminds me of Final Destination and many other horror movies that has no slasher, and it more like accidents.
Oh my god
It’s so good to hear that Peng survived. I saw a video of the aftermath of his accident, him lying in the middle of the street in pieces while COMPLETELY conscious, on LiveLeak awhile back...I just assumed he’d died. Something similar but involving a forklift happened to a kid named Loren Schaulers and he and his wife have a TH-cam channel I subscribe to where they document his journey. Inspirational stuff!
"dude got peeled by a banana" lol
"Dude got peeled LIKE a banana"
6:08 honestly how does a human being react to a man calmly walk into a hospital with a part of a fence just kind of sitting there in his mouth?
5:52 oh hell nah I froze on this face and laughed for like 12 minutes straight.
My organs tried to kill me. Lack of insulin (shit’s expensive and I was SO broke!) caused most organs to go into basically power-saver mode (yes, my heart did stop) but two weeks later, I was cleared to go home. Joe’s expression at 9:12 reminds me of my friend’s expression as she watched a nurse pull 41cm of tubing out of my arm. I wanted to look…. The nurse actually had to hold my head in place so I wouldn’t. Felt really weird… I still have the 2mm scar where the tubing was inserted.
2mm may sound small, but measure it on yourself on, say, the inside of your wrist. Suddenly, in looks freaking *huge*!
