Paraplegic climbs ladder onto roof!

[JPMCG0]

One person is a moron!!!!! (The one that disliked this video that is)

[Trevormoen]

your one crazy sob, good job. I am also a paraplegic, check out Trevor Moen. I think you would make a good snowmobiler. Trevor

[pantyflash]

Like, even though your spine is hosed, you're awesome. Now that you are done with your roof, how about re-doing my roof? Way to go, babe!

[mdice42]

That looks scary.

[brown13pride69]

YOU sir are amazing.

[kidkan2000]

WOW!

[friendofafriend187]

Maaaaaan!! You, sir, are my HERO!! Plenty of respect for you!!

[hetzy13]

wow... awesome!! :)

[Kingdong]

I applaud you sir, I have my legs and getting on a roof makes me nervous

[XxXGulottaXxX]

Is this how he became a Paraplegic in the first place?

[WheelzAndTheChair]

Impressive .. but I will pass on trying this. I will probably end up becomming a quad.

Wheelz.

[starkneked]

Ha ha ha! That's what I was thinking too!

[tkhobbs]

Good for you guys! I like seeing this, I hope I'd be badass like this, but as likely I might just sit on the couch...

[skiburnr]

Ah Ha! I always tried to go down the front of a ladder and my legs tangle in the rungs. Next time I'm coming off the roof I'll go underside.

[thisislizzz]

dude u rock

[marxlong77]

wow..wow.. i must say.... it's awesome...

[buzzclark]

Bravo Sir. I am paraplegic (34yrs) and I must say I am impressed. I really do not think it is totally safe - but if you do and can do it safely then right on. sincerely, JAMES.

[wheelz23]

[haliegaskarth]

[BreanaNguyen]

[defm1]

Very impressive man!! I'm a T-12 para and I thought I was good!

[barnabaspark]

God bless you!

[pix4434]

Awesome job!I use a wheelchair off and on due to a worsening disability so I'm learning how much you have to use your arms.

[LittleChickBarbara]

I can walk normally, but I can't climbe a ledder as fast as you.

[manonh21]

super vidéo!!!!!

[Soulsargent]

People in a wheelchair use arms a lot more than normal people with no problems, which makes you work your arms more making them stronger.

[goldfishcarlos]

Amazing bro!!

[Bobster986]

Thank You! I will never say NEVER again.

[haygoodfly]

awesome

[xemily91]

WOW! Holy crap! I don't think I can climb a ladder with two working legs! humungus respect, my friend.

[kittykat1111111111]

amazing upper body strength :) i find it hard enough with 2 working legs

[shwantz2]

Nothing but respect for this guy.

[delboyski]

Well how many of we all do empty our own gutterings (gullies); isn't it best left to some skilled individual in the roofing business?

.

It would be better to train for the Olympic games in London, at some recognised sublime activity; then it is public and we can all cheer at ones acheivement.

.

Cheers.

[docwhoqueen]

haah yeah! you have an excellent point! although i'm sick of people saying "you're gonna be the next tammy-grey thompson!" i don't wanna be! What's up with wanting to be an actress?

[PanchoPonchoMariachi]

Yes you're right -your absolutely right; there is in fact nothing wrong with doing nothing even; or being nothing.

.

Only problem might be an external validation of the new claimed status; would require interaction with the Other.

.

Same with folk in wheelchairs or with one less limb etc., how to do/be something ... should exist in the present suffice! (?)

.

Cheers.

del-boy.

[docwhoqueen]

The thing is, I don't wanna be "nothing" I wanna be something! I still have a life since my accident. Never been sporty but as soon as i started to get up and about All's i'd get would be: "oo you need to get into sport!"

I don't wanna be a flaming sports star! ok I'll admit i go to gym and do wheelchair racing but that's to keep fit! I still wanna achieve my dream of being a writer/actress, not what everyone wants me to be!

you're right to, there's nothing wrong with just being you!

[PanchoPonchoMariachi]

Oh! Hello,

I did not realise that the reply was from yourself being also who featured in the video; I too have a second name at You-Tube.

I had to retire in 1983, and so have had since then, plenty of time to develop a new self to represent the true me to the world.

Good luck in your proposed writing/actor role.

Cheers.

[docwhoqueen]

Oh no! i wasn't in the video! haha!

thanks

docwhoqueen :)

[docwhoqueen]

i disagree with EK192 oit doesn't matter about your mobility, idf your a para you can still get pressure sores! although the more healthier you are the less likely you are to get em!

[EK1962]

Guys llike him wont get a pressure sore - the other guy will though. Given his mobility any injuries will heal rapidly because there will be good blood flow.

Its a great saying at the end and he shows the benefit of fitness in a paraplegic.

[TheGreatTed]

Yeah, thats good n all, but better watch them pressure sores. Take a roho or car work creeper up there to lay / sit on.

[docwhoqueen]

wo! he has some strength i'd probably do my skin in doing that! i agree with the comment below! that's brill though! I thought i was daring!

[massagejoedallas]

Awesome. Great to see a positive person out there. Where is he from?

[mikeinbmore]

I'm lovin' it!

[ek4051]

Thats just awesome to watch!!!!

[jman1951]

this is awsome, i am going to shingle my house when i get older, i totally understand how u got up there to! i was thinking of ways how i could get onto my roof!

[kabalsniper]

@Ezlivin

You are right. While this is great and shows everyone the possibilities yet you have to b carefull not to get pressure sores. it can set u back months/years.

[Ezlivin]

Oh to be a young para again! Rod is a very industrious (dare I say "super gimp"?) man who I suspect has never had a pressure sore. While being independent is really, really great, transfers like this will eventually lead to a pressure sore. You simply can't plop your buttocks down like this over and over again without damage. Keep on transferrin' Rod, but please be aware of this!

[XCELR8INACHAIR]
