    You can see how much pain he was in when he walked. His hips and and back were literally collapsing beneath his frame as he walked.

    I live close to Alton Illinois if you ever get a chance to go there and see his statue of him I would recommend it. I would of loved to seen him in real life. Dude was 9 ft tall with shoes on. That’s crazy.

      22 is too young he would probably be above 9 foot if he didn't die young

      My family is from Brighton, and my grandfather met Mr. Wadlow. I also recommend visiting the statue.

    What’s remarkable is that there was no indication whatsoever that he ever stopped growing. This man would’ve hit 9ft and maybe even 10ft who knows????!!

      There wouldn't be much of a riveting story and they would have to find an extremely tall and halfway adept actor to play the part on top of using techniques to make him appear nearly 9 feet tall for the film. That costs money, it sounds like a pain, and there's no inkling that such a film would make a profit.

    Crazy thing about this guy: He's the tallest human EVER and its not even close: Usually these types of health records, 2nd place isn't far behind. Robert Waldlow truely was an absolute giant. He may have died at age 22, but he left as the tallest human ever after 100 billion grazed this earth, thats just fn amazing ❤❤

    bro what, he passed from a minor scrape? if he was born today, this man would've been 10ft+ tall and lived like 4x longer. he'd make a lot of money in construction, and wouldn't even be allowed in any sports.

      Alas a body that size isn't meant for a lengthy life even with todays technology. He wouldn't be in sports because he would injure himself too badly trying to do anything athletic.

      If he was born today, he probably would’ve been much closer to average height thanks to advancements in medicine and surgery.

      @punkgrl325 Рік тому +2

      His height probably contributed to having a poorer immune system, considering his heart had to work harder to fully circulate blood throughout his body. He was already walking with a cane, just to support his weight.
