[BlackSN8K]

[fairytale290]

[Elite328]

[rockparkoure]

[july2hyy]

[Benpuentes31]

@knives4cash You mean thumbs up

[knives4cash]

Self-preservation trumps again. 

[excelisinsane]

That man has balls. Enough to cut them off if he needed to.

[KingRaaa95]

he'll be rewarded in the afterlife. what a guy. if it was me, i'd die. same said for most people.

[ConspiracyChannel101]

The thing is, NEVER PUT YOUR ARM IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

But, at least he is still alive and well :)

[pacman0799]

nice job bro,my real name is Parker Sampson

[aJ0ooo]

wow, i'm...speechless.

[PlurSaveTheRave]

I wouldn't laugh....OK I'd laugh - if it happened again as he was showing the camera what happened originally.

[DOPEFRESHBRAH]

that shit was gnarly

[babbchuck]

Samson - aptly named. Is your middle name Hercules? What a story - you are one tough, resourceful guy.

[CRACKFACE86]

This guy is fucking tuff.

[CRACKFACE86]

This guy is fucking tuff

[amanitoomer2]

[thebenharms]

[KalebBURT1]

[peladetoparati]

[Epionea]

Good man, his faith helped him get though a terrifying experience. Thank-you Lord!

[trialsteam]

wud of been easyer to turn the engine off

[PhysiologicAli]

it hurts just listening to him!

[ps3kicksASS100]

U inspire me dude x:)

[flashbackko]

Brave guy, totally inspiring. those farmers will do anything for their corn. Live a nice life dude, you totally deserve it.

[bitgood]

what a hero,  a legend

[2JAMMY]

Could have saved himself a lot of trouble and his arm if he had followed the safety instructions or at least used some common sense. It is amazing how many people maim and lose useful parts of their anatomy through sheer stupidity.

[Airbusftw]

Lol at people saying God saved him. If thats god's helping then I guess he was bored and decided to mess with this guy by mind controlling him to cut his hand with a knife. God was like Jigsaw in this case.This is all in human nature, we get super strength when the brain recognizes that we are in danger by releasing adrenaline, increasing our pain toleration and heart beat to escape the danger. This happens in all living creatures we know off.

[TheXJthatCould]

@Airbusftw your an idiot...

[Shuttershader86]

At least it did'nt cost him arm and a leg (exclude pun)

[ZombieMonkey200]

Only in America!!!

[KEOO8]

@ZombieMonkey200 its not in america

[Spenstuff]

@KEOO8 LOL. Ya.. It totally says BBC in the effing title..

[fmoa]

@KEOO8 well bbc aint america..but dude is from south carolina n have a american southern accent..clearly not australian mate.

[KEOO8]

@fmoa ime not austrain im british

[Anon909]

This guy is hardcore.

[stilldreamyn]

@tommynicks lolol a movie about that one incident?... one person would be in that movie... u

[ukSway]

Some Final Destination shizzle all up in here...

[xrisp]

I would of died... :(

[cuezed]

this is proof that we humans are way way more stronger than we think we are.

[teslaphysics]

God made it possible, the man made it happen!

[xxxpistolpetexxx]

He is Aron ralston 2.0!

[cleton12345]

ooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmggggggggg­ggggggggg

[ayo30s]

OMG

[Karmaffix]

i bet as he reanacted this for the demonstration he felt a little nervous even though he knew the machine was turned off.

[lujia]

Bless this child and god for freeing him. Thank god he pray to god or else he would been dead.

Problem?

[theo782lol]

@lujia

I wouldn't have said god did all the work...

[kurdistan080894]

@lujia It wasnt god it was his instinct, every human, which ever faith or religion or even an unbeliever would have done the same thing.

[TheCrabPope]

@lujia Why did God trap his arm in the first place? If he is infinitely powerful then why did he not prevent this from happening? God seems like a bit of a prick.

[xPhenoMxX]

@TheCrabPope becuz as very few of us believe, there is no god....depend on ur self and those around u no one else can help u

[thehailtothetheif]

@lujia Yes, i have a problem... his brain did all the work, not "god", "god" doesn't exist.

[hanypants]

@thehailtothetheif how do you know? You dont think theres a being out there? look at us? we think we went poof and we were here? dont tell me you believe in big bang theory. whats your thoughts. im afraid you are out numbered.

[diddy222222]

the more pain you have you survive

[mouwghe]

holy dear jesus god.

[BionikTuning]

all of that shit sounds painful....but imagine how hard he would have to throw himself back to break the bone! Fuck sake!

[sweetnpunkd]

i couldnt even watch it till the end, had to x out of it.

[JozefN]

Sounds painful

[TheKaraMuro]

127 hours....

[PyrogirlZZ]

@TheKaraMuro yea sounds very similar apart from the guy it was based on had to use a blunt object to do it..

[killerkid123100]

@TheKaraMuro 1 and a half actually

[MaybeBaby28964]

@TheKaraMuro The sequel - 1 and a half hours.

[whoknows2007]

Phew.

[moulsepatch91]

oh my god!!!!:(

[remilyn22]

'127 hours' movie is a bit similar to this story, if anyone have seen it will know why

[NikiLoudah]

oh god srsly how did he brake the bone .... HOW

[igbhd]

@tommynicks called "90 minutes"

[justanotherangryguy1]

jesus crist....

[ShiiChan18]

This is insane yet incredible! That must've taken a lot of strength and courage to be able to cut off your own arm. I actually held my arms up to me the description was just terrifying.

[sdflksdfkfh]

It was probably fairly easy, they're just pumping up the details for drama.

[pancakeessss]

i thought he was going to do the other arm when he went to go recreate it

[LLUZION]

this guy is an inspiration to everyone!

[fakesmith797]

should have had a mobile on him

[DerrenBrown100]

Wow like 127 hours

[VGElites]

This is the most metal story I've ever heard. 

[shaysadlays]

his balls have definetly been in the microwave cause they must be fucking huge

[xxanniexx16]

oh my.....  he is a brave man. if he could cut of his own arm, he could do anything.

[JONNY5659]

what a man....hes got some guts!!!

[endwye]

this guy would survive every SAW movie.

[henryshaw1811]

@endwye Only 1 to four. 1 limb for each :P

[inceptionsd]

@endwye Maybe if he wouldn't run out of arms : )

[buttlick666]

What a champion.

[Maidenrugby]

Oh man! What a story! I would love to think I could act in the same way, but I get the feeling I'd have just given up and accepted I was going to die. This man has incredible balls.

[gwenslambgwen]

@cruzvivian08 bastard

[EmperorOfMars]

*single tear*

[jcbawbag]

@yeeeeehsien hahaha.

[yeeeeehsien]

sounds to me like one of those happy tree friends cartoons

[GEORGEBUSHISAKUNT]

@cruzvivian08 You're just a sick bastard, go find some other clip to post your fucking crap on, while you are there, GROW THE FUCK UP!!!!

[rachel237linda]

how brave!!! he's truly inspirational - a hero!!!

[prokhan17]

thats what you get for leaving the tractor on dummy

[skyshicrises]

wow chill's go up my spine.

[carlover]

holy crap , i ant even imagine how much guts that took ....

[mugmanone]

@cruzvivian08 no

[wildFire11000]

that guy is hard

[SKHSirNicolas]

Unbelieveable!

[phantomshadowoflove]

I'm an Atheist, but I honestly believe that someone, somewhere up there, was watching and helping him by giving him the strength to do that.

[sowpouse]

@phantomshadowoflove Making that sentence a complete contradiction.

[toastface5]

Wow, poor dude :( What would I give not to be in that situation. It makes you wonder, though, what other people would do if they were in the same mess as he was in...

[Binibiene]

this sounds LOADS worse than 127 hours... poor man!

[Anwarboy786]

i wonder if this took longer than 127 hours .......

[tike0rz]

God could've saved his arm. Why didn't he?

[Sanitoeter666]

@tike0rz well do you want to blame god? You can't just always blame god if you make a mistake, that's so pathetic. Like saying "doesn't matter what happens, it's gods fault!" so boy, do me a favor and grow up. If not, well... I guess it's gods fault.

[kdlvzsd]

wow that's sooooo sad... :(

[MrKrucible]

wow.

[WorstRescueEver]

wow... he would do awesome on SAW.

[HelloHiGoodday]

@WorstRescueEver Hella Yeah! He'd be like "Again? I already went through this shit."

[scousereddy2468]

abit like 127 hour they could call this movie... an hour and a half! LOL

[mysterymusicalgirl]

this is so inspiring! I will never give up or complain of a back ache again!

[monkeyman913462]

Amazing guy, he really is. Well done

[johniwuji]

he has really love for his family

[TheAsianWu]

If i had an axe or katana i could do it, but not a bloody pocket knife.

[mechachomp]

how does 127 hours look now.

[Kronikwookie]

its almost like the story of the hiker that had a boulder pin his arm down and he was stuck there until he finally cut his arm off

[1o1o2010]

@Kronikwookie thats a film called 127 hours but yh its a true story

[Kronikwookie]

@1o1o2010 yeah i didnt know there was a film but i knew about the original story

[1o1o2010]

@Kronikwookie yh look up 127 hours

[IxEliteShadowxI]

WOW

[MysticalFlyingMonkey]

Imagine if that machine thing suddenly starts... and he had to EAT his way through the other arm. That would make an awesome film- like 127 hours... but bloodier and funnier.

[BasslineFishehhh]

i cut my own dick off so i could suck it ! my story

[Teeklip]

don't you guys find it ironic how 'samson' was a very strong biblical character, and this guy cut off his own arm, enduring unimaginable pain as he did it, I mean, he may not have been physically strong, but, mentally, this is the strongest guy I've ever heard of.

[lileichina96]

:O

[PassionatelyDramatic]

It is an incredible story, and the man is absolutely amazing, but I have one question, which is, if you have been a farmer for years and have a basic knowledge of how machines work, then surely you have the sense not to stick your hand in a machine that is still on, right?

[leesajade]

Oh my god.... what a brave guy!

[TyrannosaurusRex2010]

This why america should take over the farms of the world so those idiots dont hurt them selves

[beaneyboy11]

Did he die ??

[Teeklip]

@beaneyboy11 seriously? o_O

[bebeflamand1]

wow!

[ApostleCreed10]

bless you.

[gamehero77]

Man, that guy really deserves the name Samson

[deathtrap507]

I envy this guy

[sayid1206]

What an incredible story!

[scuzznightrunner]

he should of said i figfhted this machine for 127 hours haha
