      @Danikoshii Před 2 lety +102

      I think its mainly because of his height itself
      The human body actually isn't that suited to maintain such a large height, mainly because the heart can't properly pump blood to all parts of the body(especially the head and brain) when you're that large
      Theres also the square-cube law that basically means Wadlow's bones had to support alot more weight than the normal person because while strength increases by surface area, weight increases by volume

  • @Danikoshii
    @Danikoshii Před 2 lety +5694

    I said this in a reply but the main reason why Wadlow died so young is because the human body isn't suited for such a crazy height. His heart would've needed to work extra hard to get blood to every part of the body, especially the head where the brain is
    Theres also the square-cube law stating that while strength increases with area, weight increases with volume. Meaning Wadlow's bones would've had to support more weight proportional to his height than the average person
    Edit: Yes I'm aware he actually died due to a leg infection. Braces he had on his legs were poorly-fitted once and caused a septic blister which lead to his death
    Though, you can say it was indirectly caused by his height. The braces were there to assist his legs in holding himself up, and by then he had little feeling in them
    It was an unfortunately young death and I do think he would've lived past that if only the infection never happened, but I highly doubt he would've lived an average lifespan

    The crazy thing about Wadlow was how proportionate he was to his height. Most of the tallest people ever were just extremely tall, but extremely skinny. Take Manute Bol for example, he wasn't one of the tallest people ever, but he was the tallest person to ever play in the NBA, standing at 7 foot 7, and weighting only 200 pounds, which is extremely unhealthy for someone of his height. His coaches had to take drastic measures to keep his weight up. So, they made him drink lots and lots of beer, even before games. His coaches even announced that he had never played a sober game of basketball in his entire career. Anyways, if you compare Manute to Wadlow, Wadlow looked like a much healthier person, because weighed 439 pounds, over twice the weight of Manute. Wadlow, however, died young because his heart could not keep up with his growing height.

    Fun fact about Robert Wadlow:
    After he passed away at the age of 22, he was buried in his hometown of Alton, Illinois. Because of his height, he could not fit in a normal casket. His casket was longer and higher than most people’s caskets. If you visit his grave, you can see a lump on the ground due to how large the casket was.
    Edit: Thanks to everyone who liked my comment! I did not expect to receive this much attention about this fact! If anyone is interested in more facts, I would be more than interested to share.

    Well, in British folklore there was a man called Jack’o’legs and he was 14 feet tall. He was said to have stolen from the rich and give to the poor (this was before robin hood was even imagined) and he was a brilliant archer due to his height. One day some local bakers had enough of Jack stealing from them and they captured him. They blinded him with a red hot poker and before they killed him they let him fire one arrow. They said wherever the arrow lands and is where he’d be buried. He shot the arrow from around Baldock today and it landed around 4 miles away in Weston. That is where he was buried. If you go to the churchyard in Weston today you can see his grave, there are 2 rocks around 14 feet away from each other and are said to mark where his head and feet are. I went there myself and saw his grave.
    Extra details:
    It is said that they had to fold his body in half to fit him in the coffin.
    He could talk to people in upstairs windows while standing on the soles of his feet.
    He lived in a cave near Weston (I think)
    He was called jack’o’legs becaise his legs were so long and he was so tall.
