Aimee Mullins: Running on high-tech legs

[OldGeorgeV]

she showed her stub on live tv

[kathlca]

What a girl...she totally rocks...I will watch this video time and time again...

Everyone should see this...She sums it all up, courage, confidence, positive attitude, honesty...This should be what it's all about...Thank You Aimee...

[AtheistSwede]

i've watched this tens of times, for some reason this was the first time i cried. :)

[Dconquist]

Disabled?

She can probably move faster than Usain Bolt.

[mexicanrocker3]

wat a nice sense of humor and so positive thinking definetly very inspiring

[planetrob555]

Wow...talk about someone easy to fall in love with!

[TatianaSword]

I sacked her legs withu Louisville Slugger Bat

[ryu1970206]

@TatianaSword

[SteveVader101]

She could totally be a faun in a narnia movie or something. I mean she can be whatever she wants, but it would save walden some time on CGI

[dnzhrmn]

look how confıdent she ıs :) ıt shows that dısabılıty ıs not about beıng amputated ıt's about lack of usıng thıngs that gıven to you.

[HimmiJoe]

Very inspiring.

[NaokiGraphics]

It's interesting perspective on motivation... this girl has accomplished so much and deserves all her recognition, and yet here I sit able-bodied with both legs on the couch all day... I am wasting my god-given gifts.

[sherbear2345]

she is so hot.

[MetalxCore93]

Love her

<3

so inspiring

[sammullins963258741]

[thepickupchick]

[thepickupchick]

interesting

[turkmuslim4ever]

nice

[oldbroancestor]

[BelfastAtheist]

@ConradZaar

You're a fucking retard...one with no sense of humour Might I add.

[ZXC5000]

She is so hot on those sprinting legs. Like a goddess

[BOREDUMBAS]

Aimee Mullins... The first time I-watched you I-was lost in a world of problems & despair almost & got angry at something halfway through & didn't keep watching... I'd hire you girl & wouldn't hit on you either... Unless of course I-saw a little gentle flirting would would make us both feel lighter... I-hope you get the employer you deserve & the love you give... Don't believe everything you hear... Africa would be a good place to work...

[dumbnetworks]

@BOREDUMBAS are you a fuckin idiot? what the fuck are you talkin about? eat shit mofo

[heywhatsup65]

i would so sleep with her!

[secretsquirrell13]

for real they don't tell you about the amp who gets up and goes to work and comes home and struggles to pay for all the expensive shit that comes with a prosthetic, trying to pay the bills and make life as good as can be and i think alot of amps out there recognize this and shun this motivational shit. but i guess its like nascar the companies have to have somebody as a spokesperson to help sell their crap.

[sunrisewalker]

The level of cynicism here is impressive.

The level of self importance in your upbringing is equally obvious.

[ginganz13]

Seen it all before - know in the trade as the 'crispy critter' ...there's loads of 'em - maimed & disabled humans make a massivley disproportionate number of "motivational speakers" .

The truth is most people thrive when it's a little tough as long as there is a good communitiy structure.

The privelidge in this ones up-bringining is too obvious. You will never find out about the really interesting problems she has...or at least the advice that may actually help you.

[banksmc311]

@ginganz13 Could you post a source for your info about the 'crispy critter?' I could not find anything when I Googled it.

[ginganz13]

@banksmc311 - not even sure there is a source - probably for a good reason - no-one in such a PR centered industry is going to stand up and say it our loud. It's a running joke down here in the public speaking business - I know one guy in particular who openly states he would have been a waste of space if he hadn't lost his legs.

[Blacky2000x]

she looks really hot in her sprinting legs ;)

[coolshariq]

she's awesome!

[julvalesc]

love that ciborg! does she have sexual functions???

[agent7788]

She has special cyborg vaginas that attach to her feet.

[killintymm]

wow. so down to earth. very rare.

[javierenchina]

yeahhh cyborgs

[albygreene]

You are way better than people who don't have any disabilities but makes a lot of excuses in life.

[AgentGustavo]

Dude, your logic has some incongruence. If God created humans, whatever human creates will come ultimately from God. Think in terms of absolutes, not in terms of relatives, as your Father that is in Heaven is also absolute.

[elwalvador]

Yes, you are correct. Your logic makes sense, but it ultimately leads to a logical conclusion which may be problematic for you as a theist. If anything humans do is ultimately the result of God creating them, then what Hitler did was a direct result of God's plan.

So either your God is not all Good, he is not powerful enough to stop Satan, or doesn't give two shits about what happens here on earth.

Hey ref, Score one for us Atheists.

[AgentGustavo]

Again, think in terms of absolutes not in terms of relatives, as your father that is in heaven is also absolute. Good and bad are relatives to our own perception. God let the sun rises over the good and over the bad, and let the rain fall over the just and the unjust.

[elwalvador]

You're trying to skirt the issue, nice try, but I'm not going to let you. Were Hitler's actions the result of God, since presumably according to your theology, God created all humans?

Try answering me in plain English next time, instead of trying to explain yourself through metaphors.

[AgentGustavo]

There is not need to try anything, it is what it is, and I understand is hard for people to accept it, is like dying, is neither bad or good, it is what it is.

[75egcg]

i disagree, dying is immensely bad for your health.

[cernacerna]

pretty much indeed! :D

[AgentGustavo]

It is the way it is. Not metaphors. You and me are simple openings of the same being.

[donnie2164]

THis is a full on inspiration great story

[Bumblybee256]

mate......unesscessary. yeesh

[LegendSaber]

She doesn't HAVE feet. That's the point.

[mahmoudbsh]

I think this is all you can see and this is all you could see,may be that all you can reach with your eyes.( I hope not ).

[mesenoth]

disabled meets? disabled my ass... These people may be missing limbs, etc, but they are far more able bodied than I ever will be.

This video just reminds me of how much I take my body function for granted, and how much more I should do to keep my body healthy..

Touching story, Amiee!

[victoriawonderful]

amazing video! If you like to learn more how to improve your willpower please see my coaching videos on victoria wonderful!

[fmjjoker2]

this girl has such an awsome personality and she is so cute too! Its fun to hear her story so shes a good story teller too. Keep on running.

[jimaniay]

No one is allowed to joke around her (you don't wanna pull her legs out).

[IrishFists]

A fellow mullins, cool.

[jgnibus]

Che bella! Gambi o non, lei e aggraziata.

[MozTS]

he's so good looking I'd have sex with her with her legs put on.

[jrendoso]

great 4 u, u r aa winner. so what.

[ginganz13]

2 right - another poster chick amputee - more cynical shit to make us feel even more worthless -

conform to our toothpaste commercial vison of life people!

[Filrox]

how much of her legs does she still have?

[scaredweepel]

born without fibula's? so i'm guess she was amputated just below the knees. I didn't do well in my biology exams at school but i'm pretty sure the fibula is where the calf muscle is!

[Kittygirl226]

If you look when she removes her prosthetic legs, you can see where she got her leg amputated.

[Tood721]

she's pretty.

[Redshift21]

Makes feel a little proud that she found her "Barbie" legs in the UK

[ervin2]

She's quite attractive

[smashsamus]

yup definitely

[WARDOG1138]

I have to say it, "Don't tell me what I can't do!"

[dorotwhy]

An inspiration to all!!!

[sy1234]

Go go gadget legs!

Great interview-biography-presentati­on.

[bboysil]

They shouldn't have stood up when they applauded... If I were here, It would only make me feel bad I'm handicapped and that they were only sorry for me

[sy1234]

> They shouldn't have stood up when they applauded... If I were here, It would only make me feel bad I'm handicapped and that they were only sorry for me

Yeah, that would be totally like clapping for someone with a prosthetic hand.

lol

[sy1234]

> i don't think she really cares dude... she doesn't seem someone with that kind of a loser mindset u.u

[chick5581]

[doproductions2008]

The polarity (phase) of one of the audio channels is flipped. That is going to make it very difficult for people to hear and sit through the whole video.

[Finch2009]

something is wrong with the sound

[AnDr3W91]

Is there something wrong with the sound, or is it just me?

[Chick6517]

what made you guys want to do something like this? ... haha you guys are so creavtive that was so origianal and completely funny!!! [=

[edmsr]

ehhh super girl & God bless she and the people who help to produce such tecnical wonders

[iurak6868]

Good luck Aimee!

[politiek]

LOL!

[zomgomgomgz]

[feerof]

google is your friend...

[lizjaymit]

The sound is much better on TED website-well worth watching again to get the full impact!

[Mrmoc7]

At least someone isn't dawdling in the swamps of mediocrity.

**sigh**

[Mrmoc7]

Don't say that. Cheer up. Just believe in yourself and you can do it!

[jjmm112]

Wow!, Aimee is ....just...beautifull......5*.­

[RuiFranciscoVieira]

I am in Love...thank you for this

[franknyt]

OMG, I almost blew out my eardrums, that was incredibly stupid putting that last audio clip after such poor audio quality on the video!

[yeldarbo]

Hahah thanks for the warning I nearly blew mine out as well.

[drchaffee]

Whew ... thanks for the comment ... you saved my eardrums.

[someweirdgayguy]

I'm really struggling to hear, I'd like to watch it but I have to lean up to my speakers and that just hurts my back

[yeldarbo]

If you have headphones just plug em in and you can hear it fine.

[juckis]

[Namari12]

That's.. unbelievable. Wow.

[awerner2007]

[86kinky86]

You sir, are righ.

[joejones]

[jw2par]
