[shadic2145]

my tree was killed this year D= but ow that must of hurt when he hit the ground i fell (jumped) of stuf 15 maybe 20 feet and almost borke my legs

[flowerpetals32]

we ussally get a real X-mas tree, but we didn't get 1 this year because of all the work my dad does. ):

[epcdaniel]

This is the one my sister started singing to the tune of the carol "O Christmas Tree": "O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree. I'm mad at you 'cause you fell on me" hahaha...

[Idellle]

what. do Americans get Christmas trees in middle of November? Here in Northern Europe we buy or cut the tree a week before or later and throw it out after new year

[evilslore87]

@Idellle its just our tradition, normall after thanksgiving which is nov 25, we put up our xmas trees.

[dickcheney6]

"I didn't know if I could find him again"

Here's a hint-look for the tree that's missing the top!

[jdhf983y4uhu]

it's bob marley

[rbrrosebitrose]

wtf is he wearing on his head

[QuickScopersUnknown]

@rbrrosebitrose I believe it is a hat of some sort

[hyperbaricchicken101]

And that's another reason why fake trees are better.

[Snoep76239]

@hyperbaricchicken101 There's nothing like a real tree, but I buy them from tree farms, and double up on the smoke detectors.....

[wrestleingdiva]

julies so pretty

[optimusmikey]

get a fake christmas tree its cheap and way thn a real 1

[DimeraFan28]

I Think Those guy's should've went to a christmas tree lot, I remember when i was little and living up in canton south dakota, my mother, lil sister and i, would be going to a christmas tree lot to get our christmas tree, and on our way over to the christmas tree lot, we would be singing a christmas carol. when we arrived at the christmas tree lot, we would get our christmas tree, and brought it back to our farmhouse. that's my favorite christmas memory of my childhood.

[xLauren8199x]

i dont remember this one

[loveybumblebee554]

see this is why you go to the store and buy christmas trees

[bremzy15Travolta]

I used to climb trees like that alot with my friends. I always used to think the worst that would happen if you fell down was maybe a broken arm, leg, ankle. Nothing like this:O

[mileysbigfan8]

wow!!! =D

[GreenDayisAmazing]

wow that sucks family reunions are Suppose to be fun not people getting hurt. all I know is I'm never going to climb a Christmas tree I will stick to buying mine at the Christmas tree store and also we don't really have tree's in the desert we have cactus and bushes.

[ZMommaL56]

Oh My goodness, poor Will. I hope he's OK. Today he'd be 37.

[annabelle456]

@ZMommaL56 did he die? I am confused

[ZMommaL56]

@annabelle456 No. Today he's 38. I'm just guessing.

[thecollegesagateam]

is that william shatner in the beginning

[bremzy15Travolta]

yes

[amy027]

@thecollegesagateam yep sure is

[lalalauren409]

@thecollegesagateam eyeas.

[HorrorAddict85]

@thecollegesagateam yes it is.

[wadyano]

@thecollegesagateam yeah he hosted the show

[HikaruYamamoto]

@thecollegesagateam i'm shocked how many people ask this question XD

[huckhound2110]

@thecollegesagateam It sure is! THat's the one and only, william Shatner!

[travelplus1]

It is sad how a family reunion can turn bad.

[vickiormindyb]

I think it's dangerous to climb a tree and then cut it as opposed to finding a 7-foot tree, or at least cutting it from the bottom first.

It grows from the bottom up, why wouldn't you cut it the same way, beginning at the bottom?

[BabyBopRocks]

I feel bad for the boy

[happy7117]

At 2:49, the branch snaps. At 3:08, the same branch looks to snap again and he falls.

Was that a mistake.

He should have fell at 2:49.

[happy7117]

If John was the one to climb the tree to cut the top down, he would have chose not to because he knew the consequence or possibility of falling.

They should have bought a tree being that climbing that tree was too dangerous: brittle slippery branches.

[vickiormindyb]

Our cat tried to climb the Christmas tree one year. She didn't get far b/c we could a furious rustling in the branches, and he came out to find the branches shaking and needles dropping off the tree (even fake ones have needle that drop.)

He shooed her out but she kept trying to go under there every chance she got. Silly animal. : )

Cats and trees don't mix very well.

[vickiormindyb]

I'm allergic to real Christmas trees. As evidenced by the fact I've been sicker than a damn dog for the past 5 days. My eyes were glued shut for two of those days, and my nose is still clogged up.

My doctor told me it's a bummer to be allergic to Christmas trees. I said at least I don't have to worry about tree fires.

A spinal cord injury that involves breathing difficulty is usually between C2 & C3 which, technically, is a neck injury.

Doctors, especially surgeons, make us be precise.

[allgood2000]

That's a shame. Christmas trees smell really good. However, my family hasn't used a real tree in years because of the fire hazard, and because artificial trees are less messy and easier to put up and take down.

[itsalleternal]

Some fake trees use chemicals that can make them MORE of a fire hazard than well-maintained real trees, more so with older or cheaper models. If a real tree is poorly maintained, it is a huge hazard though.

[DimeraFan28]

@vickiormindyb, well maybe this christmas, why not have an arifical christmas tree.

[optimusmikey]

@vickiormindyb im allergic 2 everything on the planet but ohh well its not a bummer 2 be allergic 2 them

[mileyfandeb]

@vickiormindyb that sucks



[Snoep76239]

@vickiormindyb Yes, precision in location makes all the difference. I know a guy in a wheel chair who has some coordination/balance issues. He told me he was injured near C4 which is one step away from being a quad. He's glad to have decent arm functions, but said it's creepy to know that one vertebra higher and he'd be a quad. Random chance can be absolutely terrifying. I hear that from guys who have been in combat all the time. That basically a coin flip determines our fate. FUCK!

[Snoep76239]

Respond to this video...  If you're climbing a tree, even if you don't have"proper" safety equipment (harness/ropes), at least tie *something* around your waist to prevent a long fall.

[liljana21]

its a miracle that he survived that fall at least he has life

[PredatorBrendan]

Man, that fall was kind of scary. I never climb trees that much as a child, so I don't plan to cut a Christmas Tree from the top.

[gregorkrause]

if this happened in 1988 then it should be a season 1 segment not a season 4 segment.

[theultimatekoopa2]

@gregorkrause Not necessarily.

[gregorkrause]

Not necessarily what?

[theultimatekoopa2]

You should know. You posted it. I meant it doesn't necessarily have to be on Season 1.

[gregorkrause]

oh now i know.

[earnhardtlivesE]

that's a scary fall
