The guy that was attacked by the great white died in a car crash a while ago. You survive the worst thing possible, just to be taken out by another car. Life is very fragile 😔
Was it a Hyundai Tiburon because that would be ironic.
That’s some final destination stuff
@@jamesmurphy1026 holy s*** my high school BF had one of those haha. Of course, he was an assh***
To be fair, driving a car is probably the most dangerous day-to-day activity we engage in. Virtually everyone who drives a car has been or will be in a car accident at some point. It's just a numbers game.
@@GumaroRVillamil very true
The part about the surfer being saved by dolphins is not unheard of. Dolphins often take on sharks like that.
And they are the second smartest mammal on earth and have a great bond with humans
Dolphins will only save you if it's a shark tho usually. There are many accounts of dolphins leading swimmers to their deaths because they're playing or swimming together and they drown them or lead them out to sea
dolphins will take any opportunity to fuck with sharks
It just amazes me that dolphins would see a shark and beat the living shit out of it, and they see it like a game.
Dolphins are the bill cosby black air force of the ocean go figure
#1 is literally just "I do not have permission to die"
You know Death had a bet with somebody just to see how long he could keep this man alive. Or just constantly got sidetracked on the days he was supposed to die. There were a lot of other people dying cause....ya know...war.

I've always considered myself to be quite the survival story, but mine's nothing against what you talked about.
I lost three of my limbs (right arm, both legs) in a work accident in 1998. That was when i was 27, i recently turned 50. I'd say i'm alright
It’s a miracle you walked away from that
Wtf happenened-
@@mrducky6322 bruh u didn’t
You're a tough man! Hope you're doing okay
Whatchya doing there m8? Looks like you typed that with one hand..
Sorry…
The last guy survived ALL those injuries WITHOUT Penicillin! Amazing constitution! Especially the gut wounds.
“They put some poison into his wine he drank it all and said he fine”
That story was told by his killers to justify his death. They wanted to show him as a warlock and sorcerer so they made up the details.
I mean this is a line from a song but ok
PATHFINDER
I hadn’t thought of Boney M in so many years!
Jack D oh ya it’s a jam
It is the great rasputin
Clint Malarchuk really shoulda been on the list...
He was a NHL goalie for the Sabres in the 80s. During a game in 1989, he was trying to block the net when two players accidentally slid into the crease. They collided and tumbled, and one of the player’s legs went up in the air...
Do you see where I’m going with this?
The player’s skate went up and slashed Malarchuk’s throat. It straight-up ripped his neck open, severing his carotid artery and jugular, and he fell forward, spraying blood all over the ice in front of him.
Luckily, the team’s trainer had been a combat medic in Vietnam, and was used to dealing with grisly injuries. He jumped into gear, went out on the ice to the goalie, *reached into* the dude’s open neck, and pinch the severed arteries with his fingers.
He continued to hold on to them as they got Malarchuk out of the rink and into emergency surgery - a move that saved him from bleeding out, and kept him alive.
Hockey is so metal.
I remember watching a video about this story not long ago. I believe he didnt even miss the next game lol hockey players aren't athletes, they're warriors!
Not even close
He's also suffered from PTSD since, became an alcoholic and even survived a suicide attempt twenty years after the incident.
I saw the video to this. The blood pooled on the ground so fast
chocolate coffee got a link?
youve gotta admire shuilin's sense of humor. not a lot of people would be able to make jokes like that after such a traumatic accident. would definitely shop there
After seeing the images of his accident, Peng definitely should've been number 1. While only surviving one accident, that one was worth the same as all the others combined. I have no idea how he survived, especially because the photo shows him lying in the street while there's a crowd just standing around staring at him, like they expected him to die any second. Not sure how he even survived long enough to get to the hospital. What an amazing guy! The photos of his recovery are just as unbelievable as his accident! Wow!
on a scale from 1 to omg no how bad were the pictures?
That dude has some series will power.
@@JeanRain17 definitely the latter! Lol. It was bad. Really bad.
@@nturavrgchick6055 hes fucking looking down where his legs are supposed to be and… bro. I’m scarred.
They say after the accident, Peng Shuilin was half the man he used to be.
I looked at the pictures of the accident and now I’m scarred
ur going to hell for that one 😂
I thought for sure the grocery store was going to be "Shorty's". My thoughts were obviously short lived. 😂

I'll always remember the story of the girl who's car broke down in the middle of nowhere in subzero temperatures. she tried to walk to get help, but was overwhelmed by the cold and passed out in the snow. she literally froze solid, so solid when she was finally found and taken to the hospital, they couldnt even put an iv in her skin was so hard. when she (literally) defrosted she had only minor injuries (I seem to remember she only lost a few toes to frostbite)
Human tardigrade
That's pretty *cool*
Wow she really knows how to turn up the heat
I walked home drunk when I was 16 and passed out in a ditch. It was blizzarding out and a snow plow buried me even more (the plow probably got within a foot or two of my head while I was passed out) but woke me up. I had to rock back and forth for nearly a half hour until I could actually move freely enough to stand up. I threw up when I got home and my puke was like tar black.
You could have mentioned Vesna Vulovic, a Serbian flight attendant who survived a plane crash from the altitude of 10,160 metres (33,330 ft). She still holds the record for the highest fall without a parachute. The fall wasn't easy on her:
"Following the crash, Vulović spent days in a coma and was hospitalized for several months. She suffered a fractured skull, three broken vertebrae, two broken legs, broken ribs and a fractured pelvis. These injuries resulted in her being temporarily paralyzed from the waist down. She made an almost complete recovery but continued to walk with a limp. Vulović maintained that she had no memory of the incident and thus had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. "
Neko Tamo where did she land
@@Pepe-lt2en Looked it up and apparently it was in Srbská Kaminice, Czechoslovakia(now in the Czech Republic) and the flight was JAT Flight 367 from Stockholm to Belgrade. It was bombed and broke into 3 pieces
@@Pepe-lt2en She remained inside a section of the tail of the plane for the whole fall, then crashed through trees and into a snowdrift if I remember correctly. This obviously helped to slow her fall over a little more time than smashing straight into the ground. I know she didn't remember the accident but blimey that must have been one hell of a ride. She must have been falling for a couple of minutes I would think too.
Wow
Meh anything over roughly 1500 feet puts you at terminal velocity any further up is irrelevant. Weather u fall from 2,000ft or 10,000ft is completely irrelevant.
Also Phineas Gage, the guy who survived a metal rod being shot through his head, severing his his prefrontal cortex from his brain stem. Made a full recovery within 10 years
This was the comment I was looking for
Didn't this make him loose any ability to feel emotion? Aswell as making him very aggressive. Pretty sure that was basically a lobotomy.
@@Novozymandiaz he felt emotion probably more severly as his higher functioning brain wasn't their to filter what he expressed. Essentially imagine having zero filter, just your raw self completely expressing the good the bad and the ugly
Yeah, I was thinking about him too. Seen the X-ray ... *holy crap!*
yeah lol learned that from game theorists
Surfer: *attacked by shark*

"Miss Unsinkable"
This lady worked on all 3 "unsinkable" ships made by the same company...the last and most famous? Titanic. All 3 sank and she survived each time. Even swam /floated through the spinning rudders that was chopping up other people and lived to tell the tale.
The Titanic was Not the Last one but the second one. She was first on the Olympic wich was the First of the three Sisterships to be finisht wich had an accident but luckily didn't sink but needet to be repaired in the Dock then she transfered to the Titanic, the second Sistership to be finished, who obviously sank and later she was a nurse in the third Sistership the Britannic who was used in the First world war as a Hospitalship and sank after being attackt by, i think a german Submarine but i'm Not entierly sure, but the Britannic was defenetly sinken by enemy forces.
Her name was Violet Jessop.
@@ntscho_tschi1009 The Britannic hit a German mine, but that wasn’t confirmed until 100 years after it sank, so until recently no one was certain whether it was a mine, a torpedo from a u-boat, some sort of accident on board, or a conspiracy wherein the British sunk the ship so they could blame the Germans for it and turn the British public and international opinion against the Kaiser.
Something else that makes Violet badass to me is that a couple years after the Britannic went down, she went back to work for White Star Line.
I’d never want to set foot on a ship again, especially not a White Star ship, but it seems she took some time to recover, then went back to serving on their ships.

“Tide pods” is what won me over
Hanah C yep, instantly subscribed at that comment
Lol. I was literally laughing my ass off. I mean seriously. Tide pods?? How smart do you have to be.
Yet some die from tripping on a pebble. I nearly died when my bike hit a small rock and the handlebar went thru my leg. Yeah that was fun....
Jesus, that reminds me of when I was younger, somehow my friend's kickstand went through his ankle when he fell.
Dude, some poor little kid in Pullman, WA actually died that way, a couple of years ago. I don't know if he hit a rock or what but he somehow impaled himself on his handlebar, just the wrong way, and bled out before paramedics could get there. The sharp metal pushed right through the "replacement" hand grip and straight into the kid. One in a million freak accident. Every parent's worst fucking nightmare.
bro when i was like 19 i was goin to the vape shop and got out of my car and i was stepping up a curb to the sidewalk when i just tripped like normal, landed on my two hands like a pushup, and immediately realized my elbow was fractured. i was so pissed cuz i drink plenty of milk lmao but im fragile af

I can just imagine the last guy telling his stories to his grandkids.. and those children telling the stories to friends and teachers in class and they answer like "you really believe that? Dude he is lying to you" while it's actually true
And I thought my grandfather had a crazy story: he got shot in the outskirts of Stalingrad and thus was spared the fate of the 6th army division. He then fought in the Normandie, where a plane dropped a bomb next to him. He got knocked over and picked up his rifle and continued fighting. Later on the same day, he surrendered and got sent to a hospital. They were unable to get every piece of metal out of his body! One of them, he carried in his head until the day he got cremated (over 60 years later).
War is brutal
@@zombiasnow15 yes it is. I've wondered quite a bit about what would be worse:
The brutality of CQC in the middle ages?
Standing in a tight formation with muskets and cannons ploughing through?
Mud and mustard gas for days?
Russian campaign?
Vietnams green hell?
I simply don't want any of it. However, if I had to choose, then it would be the first as it depended far more on your own abilities and there were no stray shells, few fights that go on uninterrupted for days, and once you leave the battlefield it's mostly over...
Woah your grandpa got up from a bomb explosion like nothing happened
What a fucking chad
They both should've written books
When you said the guy was cut in half I imagine straight down the middle, and then say there for five minutes trying to think how someone could ever survive from that
I looked up the pictures 👁👄👁 its still hard to imagine getting cut in half and you're the .01% chance of survival
I thought he was cutted in half separating his left and right side of his body and I was like"BRUH HOW THE FUK DOES SOMEONE SURVIVE THAT KIND OF DAMAGE?"
i looked up the images and ended up looking through SEVERAL fatal accident pictures. im not necessarily grossed out, more rather unsettled and confused to see a human body torn up like a piece of roadkill. im almost afraid to wonder, but how the hell---like---WHAT?

As a plumber I had a helper who showed me the newspaper clipping of an x ray. He had fallen off a roof in Kissimmee and landed with a long piece of rebar through is neck. He was a good helper. Also made the best moonshine ever.
I would love to know the actual odds for my own survival. In 2016, I survived a brain aneurysm rupture with no immediate complications. Most people die pretty darn quickly when a blood vessel in their brain ruptures. It causes just too much damage for human survival. Usually there are no known symptoms for the aneurysm forming too. If they survive the rupture, most people are affected immediately by stroke-like issues (partial paralysis, etc).
Me? I had symptoms (that no one recognized as such) of the aneurysm forming for over a year before it ruptured. I also suffered through a leak about 2 months before it ruptured completely (when I went to the ER, testing was thought to be too much radiation and I was simply offered opioids). Once my aneurysm fully ruptured, I was shuttled to several hospitals until we found one that had neurosurgery and went immediately into surgery. After 26 days in the ICU, I was released with absolutely no physical complications and no mental complications (until this year, the damage to my brain led to epilepsy).
I've been told that there just simply are NO odds for my experience. It just doesn't happen. I think my Ehlers-Danlos genetic mutation helped by making my body flexible enough to survive through the experience.
Could your ED syndrome have actually been the cause of all this? Conective tissue disorders do often cause problems with arteries and blood vessels. Fascinating and of course happy that you made such a great recovery either way.
Seriously, I have had RPG characters that have been nowhere close to a life as eventful as that last guy!

4:22. I think being paralyzed is worse than death. After receiving an epidural and being unable to move my legs, I want to devote some research towards paralysis.
Normy and Edward Ratliff, a guy in my class woke up one morning and couldn't move half of his face. Turned out that two nerves somehow had touched and did something like a short circuit. Lucky for him the doctors were able to fix that.
Eliphas Leary A friend of mine woke up a few months ago and couldn't move her legs. She had several scans and tests at the hospital and they couldn't find any physical cause. Then a few weeks later she was paralysed from her neck down. Since then she's regained use of her arms and some feeling in one leg, but doctors are still no wiser as to her condition. It's crazy.
I wish her the best of luck. So odd these things happen.
I am disabled myself, and I know a lot of people who are also disabled, some of whom have spinal injuries and are paralysed. They will ALL tell you that they are far happier to be alive and paralysed than dead. They lead happy lives, get married, work. I agree more research into paralysis is needed but please do not assume that paralysis is worse than death. You are doing a disservice to the large number of people living with spinal cord injuries who live extremely happy and fulfilling lives
if you're paralyzed you could potentially have your brain transferred in the future
Joe: “Peng Shuilin was cut in half!”

Holy Crap! Shot all those times, survives with no antibiotics! The man was a walking human antibiotic!!

WW2 had anti-biotics, penicilin was around by then. in ww1 a few countries had anti-biotics but not all of them, i believe the first antibiotics came in to regular use in the early 1900's.
Wanna know what that man was eating tbh
I love the fact that he called jaw recovery “getting back into the swing of things” idk if that wordplay was intended or not
My dad is a huge fan of yours. He was a LRRP in Veitbam..These guys performed a very interesting job that required a lot of courage. There are so many interesting stories to be told about them yet most people have never heard of them. They are on par with SEALS , Green Berets and any other elite unit. If you did a video about them it would make a lot of vets reaching the end of their lives very happy,, including my father.
I gotta love Peng's story. Dude's evident sense of self-deprecating humour in the face of tremendous adversity is hilarious and inspiring.
I've seen the video of Peng before (to anyone interested, it's on Liveleak), had no idea he lived through that. Dude's just laying there on the side of the road, fiddling around with his guts, poking at his lower torso that's lying next to him, and talking to bystanders. A couple times he arches his back upward to get a better look at his torso and the expression on his face just reads "goddamnit."
Honestly at that point I'd feel very "god damnit" about the situation too. Not much you can do in that situation, so you just kinda gotta accept it.
Shiiiiii
I've seen that video too. It's crazy how calm he is. Had no idea he survived.
@@therealzogman he's calm cause he's in major shock, also the reason he's playing(?) With his intestines

My organs tried to kill me. Lack of insulin (shit’s expensive and I was SO broke!) caused most organs to go into basically power-saver mode (yes, my heart did stop) but two weeks later, I was cleared to go home. Joe’s expression at 9:12 reminds me of my friend’s expression as she watched a nurse pull 41cm of tubing out of my arm. I wanted to look…. The nurse actually had to hold my head in place so I wouldn’t. Felt really weird… I still have the 2mm scar where the tubing was inserted.
2mm may sound small, but measure it on yourself on, say, the inside of your wrist. Suddenly, in looks freaking *huge*!

Shoulda talked about one of the two famous women who survived 30,000+ feet plunges from commercial airplane crashes. Maybe they weren’t included because it’s happened more than once, but the one girl (a teenager mind you) who ended up in the Amazon and survived for 10 days in the wild with a broken leg, severe concussion, and broken collarbone is LEGENDARY.
Dude that nailgun story is wild. The exact same thing happened to my grandpa. He still suffers from seizures and his mental state has been reduced quite a bit. I've been told ever since the injury he has been a lot more, childish. He has a harder time controlling his emotions.
Great episode.
Steve Callahan's survival story is my all-time favorite. His sailboat sinks in the ocean and he survives 76 days in a rubber life raft. He wrote a great book about it and the TV series 'I Shouldn't be Alive' dramatized it in an episode of that show. I highly recommend it.
There are even more extreme versions of this. People surviving sinking to the ocean floor in a shipwreck for several days, two men (only one surviving) drifting more than halfway across the pacific from central america to asia for over a year, so on.

My favorite survival story is that of Allison Botha. She survived being disembowled and having her neck cut from ear to ear, she crawled her way to the road holding her guts and her head in place, they say there was only like a few inch strip of flesh holding her head to the rest of her body and she managed to survive that. Strong does not even begin to describe her.

Great video Joe! As a nurse it always amazes me that some people can live through horrible mutilations but other times they die from a scratch that got infected.
There will be a video in the future that’s the opposite - people who died from tiny things.
Indeed, we are incredibly resilient and fragile at the same time.

Damn, I thought I was pretty bad ass after surviving getting blown up at work in 2012 and a year later surviving a heart attack where I drove myself to the hospital.
I've had 2 brushes with death myself. When I was 5 weeks old, my step dad accidentally dropped me down the stairs, causing a severe brain hemorrhage which could've killed me. I was stat flighted to a trauma hospital and didn't sustain any major permanent damage.
Then last year, at the end of July, I was in a severe wreck that caused 6 broken vertebrae in my upper back, 4 in my neck, broke the base of my skull, a broken shoulder, broken and dislocated elbow, several broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and another brain hemorrhage. I was so lucky to have made it out of the wreck and avoid paralysis. I was, once again, stat flighted to a trauma hospital. I now have rods in my back and a plate in my shoulder. I still have lots of pain, but at least I'm here.
There was an old Victorian railway worker, testing the explosives for a tunnel, he poked a stick of dynamite with a metal rod, it exploded and launched the rod through his skull
tanklord99 da boss i think his name was phineas gage? because the rod went straight through his frontal lobe, which is where a lot of brain activity related to emotions and personality occurs, people who knew him said he wasn’t the same after the accident- apparently he was ill-tempered and foul mouthed. it’s crazy how someone could survive that :0
cactus 12 yep, we are thinking of the same guy
My ancestor. Phineas Gage.

Just wanna say that I love ur channel. It's one of the best channels on CZcams in general. To the point, not too too serious. I have adhd but the way you speak is broken into compounds and I absorb all the information better. Plus I absolutely love that your videos aren't littered with ads.
Please tell me that number one has a fucking movie or something because holy shit I would watch that in a heartbeat
DarkStride well, not movie but a weird disco jam by Bony M
LMAOO for real this guy flicked off death for a living
The most _DURABLE_ man in the world
There's a french movie about Rasputin.
No they aren’t, however they are making a sequel to the emoji movie!
"That's something I shouldn't have to say but......... Tide pods."
Thirty years ago I worked for surgery and trauma services. We had gentleman who was mud running, went off the side of the road where an old waterline pipe came up through the floorboard and through his abdomen. He was very lucky that the pipe did not hit one internal organ.
My wife and I love this video so much. Joe, you add just the right amount of humor.
“I shouldn’t have to say this but.... tide pods” 😂😂
Sam o Nella did a video on someone who survived a barrage of stuff. It's about Michael Malloy.
I was wondering where Michael Malloy was, glad I'm not the only one
Same here, was wondering if I'd see good ol' Mike.
Sam o Nella is one of my favorites.
Sam O’Nella is fave too.
That dude was a legend
i am obsessed with your videos lately...great content + humor...very inspiring
This is the second video i've seen on this channel and I already love it. Keep it up man!
I have never cringed so hard in my life when they showed the recreation of that pipe going through that guy’s throat. 🥶
I bet a different kind of pipe can go through his throat ;)
My daughter's husband my son-in-law, he was in a severe accident when he was 13 he was riding a bike hit a car going downhill extremely fast and had his arm severed off at the shoulder and then a severe head injury amongst tons of other issues internal bleeding comatose and then they reattached his arm. In fact he was able to play guitar again. He had to learn to walk talk all that again and had his arm reattached even though it was pretty mangled but still he could have an arm again. His arm swelled up down at the forearm then it had to have a fasciotomy on that arm. He has a 12 inch scar up his stomach a 6in scar up his forearm scars all over the place on his body and was left with very little tricep muscle and tons of skin grafts and surgeries and a 4 to 6 inch scar on his inner thigh where they removed his artery from his leg to use it in his arm amongst the huge scar on his forearm and the huge scar and missing flesh from his left arm. If that wasn't enough years later at 37 and this is less than a couple years ago he had suffered a severe stroke my daughter found him after work laying on the floor for over 8 hours. Stop breathing my daughter gave him CPR till the ambulance got there he was close to death but he has recovered quite a bit and is still recovering and is now paralyzed on his right side but he is getting better he's able to walk with a cane and a brace has a lot of effects from it but then not long after got a severe infection in his leg and then he had a minor heart attack but a heart attack which he had surgery on his heart and then he ended up with stage 4 kidney disease which Now is better he is at a stage 3 now. I'm sure there is some things I'm leaving out LOL. other issues , he's definitely been through a lot hopefully this is the end of things but with his record who knows LOL . Sorry for the long ass comment.
why have scares for life when you can have proof of survival . congratulations fellow survivor.
... woah
Dano O'Neil some people are destined for greatness. I hope he is feeling much better.
Let's add mine into the mix!
I was 11 years old when I got hit by a car travelling at 80mph in a 30 zone. I survived what's known as a Trauma Induced Full Right Hindquarter Amputation. In simple terms? My pelvis was snapped clean in half on a 45 degree angle, so no amputation surgery needed. It was a full and complete Hemipelvectomy by way of a Transpelvic Amputation. Doctors only perform this as a Last Resort because most people don't survive it, what with all the main stuff inside the pelvic ring.
My sacrum, right butt cheek, right hip, and entire right leg were all torn off when the corner of the car clipped my hip. Think of a chicken wishbone. I needed 11 litres/44 units of blood, two day coma, three major surgeries in which my surgeon had to play Tetris to put all of my organs back inside. My ovaries now sit where my right hip should be and my right kidney is slightly higher than most. My skin graft is the size of a dinner plate, while my lower spine is a brutal mess. I have an operation scar that goes from below my ribcage all the way down.
My weight dropped to 23 pounds, I had to be sedated every 3rd day, and put to sleep to be moved so much as an inch due to how fragile the remains of my pelvis were. My left leg swelled like a balloon and they really thought I would lose that one, too, but again I got lucky. I died twice before Buffy made it cool. Once for 1:37, then again for just under 3 minutes.
I lost a good chunk of bowel due to gravel rash, my right kidney got a bit of a nip and I'm very susceptible to kidney infections. When a journalist asked my surgeon how he managed to put me back together, the reply was "I improvised!"
It's been 29 years since it happened and I still expect to grow a third arm or something! I got so, so lucky to survive, but survive I did ☺
@@sitnspin1819 you are simply amazing, Well done!
There were 2 brothers who worked as skyscraper window cleaners. The ropes broke when they were on the 47th floor. One of them survived and recovered completely without any permanent damage.
I named my rescued snake after Sir Adrian, he only had one eye and looked like he was in a dog fight. I loved that lil guy, he was fierce
I once met a nice old man who had been in a war(can’t remember what war), he was shot in the head and he never had it removed!apparently it missed all the important parts of his brain and he said it would have been more dangerous to remove it rather than keep it in.
He was in like his late 50s to mid 60s and he was more active than me!

Cream Soda,
Congratulations! You just described the model used for the Microsoft Operating System. For Rasputin, it was unfortunate. For Microsoft users it is annoying. For Bill Gates it is a profitable “feature”.
He was also castrated. Just thought I'd add that in there.
Ra Ra Rasputin lover of the russian Queen
Just saying, he got it wrong. Rasputin died on the third shot, which hit him between the eyes, killing him instantly. The rest is urban legend.
Edit: "...he died of three gunshot wounds, one of which was a close-range shot to his forehead."
I just looked up the pictures of Peng Shuilin after his accident (I’m morbidly curious). There’s a video afterwards, and it’s not bad at all. It’s actually very interesting because he’s cut in half, but he’s still moving his arms, and in an almost calm manner.
5:52 oh hell nah I froze on this face and laughed for like 12 minutes straight.
These survival stories are nothing, my girlfriend made me watch Greys Anatomy... I barely made it out alive
So brave...
Oh man... That's rough. I'll be praying for a speedy recovery.
Have you thought about writing a book? I think a lot of men could learn a lot about surviving Grey's anatomy from you. With such a high casualty rate, we need you.
Youre a man
Youre a man when you have the balls to not watch it again 😂😎
Just wait till you step on a lego
Gets hit by a car going 75 miles per hour and then is called “lucky” 😜That’s why I don’t believe in luck. Lol
lucky for surviving, stupid for getting hit.
Aaron Woods exactly what I was going to say lol
i'd take "lucky" as a description anytime in a super car accident over "strawberry crush"
If he were lucky, when he fell asleep at the wheel he would have drove into a soft hedge.
I had an old car, 69 Mustang, and while in a freeway tunnel the radiator hose exploded and the antifreeze caused me to do a 180. I stopped pointing the wrong way against the curb. Somehow, the only damage to the car was a scratch in the chrome in the front bumper. I still don't know how that happened. I hit the guard rail and only got a scratch on the bumper?
@@aaronwoods7967 if he was really lucky then he wouldnt have been hit lol
Hey there Joe, I really enjoy your videos, I learn something new with each one and laugh while doing it. I currently have Covid 19 and am trapped in my apartment all alone, your videos are keeping me from going bat shit crazy! Thank you to you and your team for all of your time and energy that you put into this channel! ~Big fan, Britt B
I have watched many of your videos, love them...very clever! Enjoying! Thanks!
me: gets bit by a shark
me: *finds the shark and bits it back*
You're a good bitter, a bit too bitsy imo
Modern problems require modern solutions
Nice political compus

One of the best channels on CZcams, deserves more recognition.
0:29 I don’t know what “shlang” means in English, but in Russian it makes a perfect sense.
My best "comparison" is I had my top rib crunch against my shoulder bone and cut off the circulation to my arm. It was very swollen and I couldn't move it more than an inch. I thought it would be ok on its own (didn't know why it was swollen) and ignored it for a week. By the time I had it checked out I had to have an emergency angioplasty and admitted to the hospital for a week with heavy blood thinners. I also found out during this time that the clots had spread to my lungs and could have passed from pulmonary embolism.
Three months later I had a huge seizure and ambulance took me to hospital and MRI showed a brain tumor. I had a 10 hour surgery to remove. After getting in there the doctors found out it was much closer to my main artery than MRI had shown and one of three things could've happened - nothing, small stroke, or fatal stroke - and there was nothing that could be done about it even after it started happening. I ended up having the small stroke which took out my olfactory system. I never thought before this that 2 near death experiences could happen so close together and be unrelated like this.
Hey Joe, since you apparently LOVE stories about badass people who had really crazy lives, you NEED to look up into the bio of Jack Churchill. This guy fought in the second world war armed with a sword, a bow and arrows, and a bagpipe. I swear I'm not making any of this up, and there are absolutely incredible anecdotes about this guy.
Yeah, I’ve heard of that dude.
That guy is the second most badass man to ever walk this earth. Only loses out to Lewis Burwell Puller "Chesty".
A "Pod" of Dolphins. Not a herd. They are not the Tide Pod of Dolphins either.
Makes me wonder if Manatee come in a herd? Probably not.
Phil Rabe
A group of Manatees is called an Aggregation.
Syn's Arcade
What about womanatees ?
Wait so what you're saying is they've got dolphin flavored tide pods now?
And a dolphin’s last words...”I’m not a tuna!”
I stumbled on this video, your funny, well spoken, and entertaining. Great job
I can't believe I just found this channel! I love this
I stub my toe on a corner and I yell.
The dude survives like 8 bullets, 2 plane crashes, and becoming a POW 2 times and dies peacefully at the mf age of 80
He looked death in the face and simply said ✨ no ✨
I survived stubbing my toe... top that.
OMG, so brave!
;)
I got a splinter. Topped.
Energy Vanquish I survived stepping on lego... I win 😂
Energy Vanquish I can't believe someone else also said this! Dang it! I posted this then scrolled down to see that I wasn't the first!! You ruined me!
How did you do it?!?!
It’s so good to hear that Peng survived. I saw a video of the aftermath of his accident, him lying in the middle of the street in pieces while COMPLETELY conscious, on LiveLeak awhile back...I just assumed he’d died. Something similar but involving a forklift happened to a kid named Loren Schaulers and he and his wife have a CZcams channel I subscribe to where they document his journey. Inspirational stuff!
I love the way this guy just gets right to the point
