Elyan AE I don't know but THAT is funny. I was absolutely cringing and then you made me laugh out loud. Gotta hand it to the comment section to put things in odd but interesting perspectives. Thanks for that!
@@smit17xp Here is what the joke means. Basically in movies someone has to record what happens. People make jokes about how the camera man never dies because they are recording. Pretty simple.
To the folks in the comments saying “I would’ve just died, no way I could do that”... you would be very surprised with what you are capable of when faced with certain death..
I think the most surprising thing is how he was able to keep himself composed so well, there were SO MANY moments he could've easily fainted from shock and simply bled to death
Animals will chew off their own limbs to free themselves from a trap. You can say “i couldn’t do that!”, now, but until you’re faced with a situation like this, you don’t know what your body is capable of in order to try and survive. The will to live is crazy
Watch the movie based on this 127 hours. I remember watching this 1st time & after completing this movie, i thanked god like never before it touches my heart told me that happy with what you have🙌🏻
@@TrNdke he's experienced with the outside world and has been there a couple of times. He didn't think much of it. And it just so happenened that he stepped on a loose rock. That's not being a dumbass. He probably just wanted to take a small break and didn't think that something like that would happen. Honestly anyone would've been the same. Now people are thinking ahead because they know what could happen. Had he died he wouldn't have influenced the world with his outstanding feat. I bet if you were in that situation you wouldn't even last a few days or you'd just give up.
Literally the first thing any basic mountaineer or hiker knows is to tell someone where you're going. You're a dumbass if you think he's *not* a dumbass lol.
This guy got stuck, gave himself the worst papercuts to his arm, endured the elements for 5 days, and then he made a conscious decision to pulley his arm broken to amputate it. He didn't just cut it off, *he stabbed it off.* That's metal AF. My arm throbs just thinking about it. The guy is a living legend!
And it could've been avoided too No matter how much you know a place like the hike to the canyon for Aaron Ralston or where ever you're going always remember 2 things (actually 2 potentially life saving things) tell people where you are going and how long you'll be. You never truly know what life has in store for you those 2 things always remind me of the scene in the movie 127 hours (based on this story) where he talks about the fate of his arm being trapped everything leading up to that point it really makes you think about fate such as this. I bet Aron would still have 2 arms if he'd followed those rules but at least he never died.
Did everyone miss the fact that he didn't just CUT his arm off? The knives that he had were too dull and he knew he would never get through the bone. SO, HE BROKE THE BONE FIRST by snapping his arm at an angle from where it was wedged and THEN he was able to cut through the muscle, tissue and skin. OMG....to say he cut his arm off seems horrible enough but yeah, it got worse!
This dull knife thing was just to make the movie get 10 times more popularity. I think this whole story was faked for $. I would say he had a bike accident and lost his arm. End of story. Sorry.
@@owenpalmer757 You really think the dude stabbed his arm off with a dull knife? He landed wrong on his arm. Hospital had to chop it off. Go to a trial and explain how you chopped your arm off. Who would carry a dull butter knife during a bike ride
he has one of the strongest minds in the world......imagine having to stab yourself repeatedly through the ligaments and nerves cause that the way you have to.....cut your own arm off.....unbelievable.... respect sir Aron.
Sir Goop The nerves is much worse i have broke my bones a couple of times and you get in shock so fast that for me personally it didn’t hurt but i think cutting the nerves would have killed me
No he doesn't have the strongest mind, or one of, in the world. He survived, to do so he had to go through severe pain for a short time, shorter than the eternity of death anyway. There are some people in this world who go through worse sxxt than this everyday of their lives and they get up and get the fxxk to it. He survived, it was that or death and if you want to live and not die then you would do the same. If anything he left it too long and was very fortunate to get through it after the amount of time he had been trapped.
And besides, after so much time trapped like that there would have been no circulation in that part of the arm for all those hours and so he would have had to have it amputated anyway because thrombosis then septicemia and then gangrene would have set in. Obviously it's still a pretty awful thing to do but the pain would have been vastly subdued due to the amount of time without blood flow to that part of his body making him unable to feel that part of his arm . He left it way too long and is very very fortunate.

The way he said “and I was free” when describing how he fell back and his arm wasn’t attached anymore, you can tell he had some sort of flashback or something

This and Nutty Putty cave haunt me the most. Horrific. The panic that they must have been feeling when they realised they were really well and truly stuck. And death was a very real possibility.
At least this guy had a way out. I mean being trapped in a crawl space deep in a cave rendered completely helpless. It's terrifying just to think about.
@@jamesstephens5314 its a cave where a man named john jones got stuck upside down trying to squeeze his way in hoping that the tunnel leads to an open space but he couldnt, they called rescue and the operation took 27 hours but they couldnt get him out so he died upside down, the scariest part is that his body is still in that cave till this day but u can't get to it since they cemented the entrance
This video skips over one of the most incredible parts of this story. Tired, dehydrated, weak from starvation, in pain and losing blood, Aron somehow set up a rappel with one arm and abseiled 65 metres to safety. It's difficult to imagine how this is possible beyond sheer force of will.
The bit about hallucinating his family and friends is crazy. I love how our brain tries to comfort us when we need it most. I wonder if his future child will look like his vision.
The same as in Nutty Putty incident. In the movie the person had so many delusions and seeing his unborn child. His wife was pregnant at that time. He dreamed he is getting out of cave and his unborn baby comes to the cave. Sadly he died there.
@@kthxciao1465I think the hallucinations in the movie were fictional. He did have hallucinations, but nobody knows exactly what he saw. They just know how he physically and verbally responded to them
You think that until your body tells you otherwise. Once that fight or flight truly kicks in, you’re out of control and your survival instincts kick in. Depends on how badly you wanna live I guess!
I think that literally EVERYONE says that until they are in the same situation and the living instincts sets in, you’ll do everything you can do to survive and get out of the situation
After first learning his story, I have become a much more prepared hiker. The question I am asked most often is "What are you doing with that Jackhammer?"
Damn just wrote that down in my list, no matter where im trapped atleast i will have the hope that I can dig through even if ill be digging till my last breath
Kinda Fun Fact (?) - He was given his arm back after it was removed from the boulder. However, after having it for some time, he felt it was only right to cremate it and pour the ashes back at the spot he lost his arm at.
I just watched the movie with my boyfriend, first time for me, and we both were on the same page of the "guess I'll die" mentality. but I guess if I was in true delirium I think I'd at least try to get out by...cutting it off... good thing I don't go outside. even before the pandemic.
I couldn't do that cut off my own arm and intentionally break both bones I'd use the knife is a less painful way out if I was stuck in that horific situation
I heard this guy speak at a leadership conference a while ago. He is such a warm and kind guy, so inspiring and nonchalant about this harrowing experience. Sure adrenaline and a survival experience is one thing, but this guy was extremely clever and knowledgeable about outdoor living and camping. He is awesome
Aron was arrested on domestic violence charges after attack his Harvard graduated girlfriend in front of their two-month-old baby. He may not die but he should be kind when he living.
i assume he feels great appreciation most of us do not. Like for each second of LIFE.... Not only was this near death but it was completely torturing and he was totally alone. i feel kinda inspired..
to be trapped is one thing - to keep a sharp mind even after days of pain and the lack of nutrition is a whole different story. this man has my respect
Really? You respect a stupid fucking idiot that was being a dumbass by assuming a rock wouldn't fall just cuz it was helt only by friction? Are you a complete dumbass?
@@MrParkerman6 you say that like you would be able to survive 120+ hours stuck in a cave in immense pain with no water or food left and having to cut your arm off and walk 6 miles afterward to safety.
The fact that he could go back into the same crevice and retell his story without a flinch is just as impressive. I would expect someone to be scarred for life after such a terrifying experience, never daring to go anywhere near a cave again.
I think he had such a long time to come to terms with his own death while he was trapped in there that after it was over, the overwhelming realization of being free and not going to die (after he was rescued of course) far exceeded the trauma itself. It reminds me of how childbirth is often a harrowingly painful experience too, but once the child is born, the body floods with so many hormones and stuff that it kind of retroactively softens the memory of the painful process, and the joy of finally holding your child in your arms overwrites the painful birth before it gets put into your long-term memory. If it didn't, I reckon our species would just go extinct because childbirth would be too traumatic to try again, and if everyone has only one child max the species won't survive :P
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and He loves you? Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways, from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him. Explanation: God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we’ve all sinned. (Romans 3:23) and the law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ. None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). ‘’For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) That’s why only Jesus can save us, because He lived a perfect and sinless life and is the only worthy sacrifice and died for our sins. We aren’t saved based on our good deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith. ''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins (past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him. ‘’Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.’’ (Acts 3:19) Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin. Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite. (John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." If you confess that Jesus is Lord (John 10:30) and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved. (Romans 10:9) You are born again with the spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36) Bible is the Word of God. You may ask how so because it is written by men. Just like a letter is written by a pen, so is Bible written by God using men. Bible/God's Word was written over 1600 year period by 40 different authors and 66 books, all leading to the coming of God's Son - Jesus Christ. There is consistency of revelation throughout a long time of period, many prophecies being fulfilled. In the Book of Isaiah you see details about how Jesus Christ suffered even if it was written a long time before His coming. In the Book of Daniel 500 BC you can read about Alexander the great who lived 300 BC. We are living in the last days and Jesus Christ will return soon. 2 Timothy 3:1 ''But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.'' 2 Timothy 3:2 ''For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,'' Luke 21:11 ''There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.'' 1 Thessalonians 5:3 ''While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.'' Matthew 24:39 ''And they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.'' Luke 21:31 ''So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.'' 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 ''Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.'' Revelation 13:16-18 ''And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.'' Matthew 24:21 ''For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.'' 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ''For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.'' Matthew 24:19 ''But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!'' Matthew 24:42 ''Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.'' Mark 1:15 ''The time has come," Jesus said. "The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!"' Get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ right now before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!. "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32) You may start with a simple prayer from the bottom of your heart, TRULY believing that God listens and cares. (Jeremiah 29:13) ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'' Get to know Christ through His word. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!

It’s amazing how many things came into play that eventually saved his life. If he had gotten the sharp multi-tool he actually wanted to take with him instead of the cheap shit he actually took because he couldn’t find the sharp one then he would’ve cut off his arm essentially right after trying lifting off the rock failed. At that point the couple wouldn’t have been in the canyon that helped him to get back to his car when the helicopter arrived, which wouldn’t have been looking for him, yet, either and instead he would’ve just bled out. In other words, that cheap multi-tool he got from his mother for his birthday together with a headlamp essentially saved his life.
@lis te there might have, but the helicopter definitely wouldn’t have been looking for him because at that point no one knew he was even missing, yet. Since the area is quite remote, chances are he would’ve bled out. Read his book. It’s quite the read!
@@Tenareful exactly. Although the slot is so narrow at the top that the beacon probably wouldn’t have been any good unless the satellite would’ve flown directly over his position. He talks about that in his book.
@@brianjc720 of course it was looking for him because by then they had narrowed his location down to the canyon lands. The family he met tried to help him to get back to his car, which is what they were doing when the helicopter arrived, they did not call the helicopter! It was his family who alerted the authorities that they believed him to be missing and it was a cop or a ranger who found his car and if I’m not mistaken then it was that cop or ranger who called in the chopper! Get your facts straight next time before you try to correct someone’s statement!
Man, listening to the recording after the first time he tried to cut his arm off was devastating. Just the defeat and hopelessness in his voice is so heartbreaking.
it is crazy that under that amount of pressure he was able to keep his head clear and make the right decisions. we will never forget what you had to go through!
So glad he is still alive. Please people, if you go hiking alone, let someone know. And let them know the time you should be back home, the route you plan on going and take plenty of food.
Look who got there philosophy degree. How’s that working for you? Or rather how’s it not working for you? Or maybe we all just were made 5 minutes ago....
This is one of the most amazing stories in the history of man. We all like to think we'd do the same, but most of us would've died there. the sheer will to cut through your tendons with a pair of pliers because your knife is too dull, then plucking the nerves like guitar strings, not even being able to cut through them... Makes you shiver
The strength of mind it must have taken to do something like this is unfathomable. I, and I guess most people too, would just start panicking, crying blaming myself, and die shortly after of stress and dehydration. Mad props to Aron what a brave soul
@@zahraa-qc7ch Yes. In the beginning in the film he runs into a couple women and offers to lead them to where they're trying to go, they agree and once they get there, they end up swimming together. Before they depart they invite him to a party they're going to the following day and explain there will be a Scooby Doo inflatable
This story is simply amazing. Imagine how brave you have to be to cut your arm off with a dull knife, after you break your arm and you have to cut through the tendons and the nerves. He said he heard a loud popping sound in his brain when he cut the nerves. Talk about the will to survive. The extreme majority of people probably would not be able to do that.
Can't even comprehend what it must have been like to come to the decision to start cutting. Personally, I think I would have died down there, I wouldn't have been able to hack my arm off. Incredible act of survival.
I think it's very possible that the brain changes priorities in a situation like that. Since you want to avoid dying, and staying means more dying than cutting yourself loose and possibly managing to get help. And adrenaline and those chemicals are probably released in huge amounts to dull the pain to a level where you are able to do it... I'm just speculating though, but regardless, the body is so much stronger and smarter than we think.
I mean, you don't truly know what you would do unless you are actually in the situation. Many of us can't imagine ourselves doing many things, but when death is an option, there are many things we are able to do out of panic or for the need to survive. Maybe, you would in fact it cut your arm off in this situation too. Still, maybe you wouldn't, so this man is really strong for being able to decide to do this and actually do it. Brave man.
He said that cutting through the nerves was the most painful part because even just grazing it with the knife sent a sharp pain that went up to his shoulders. So yeah...
Not gonna lie i feel like this guy has saved many lives over the years. I never would have thought to tell my family and friends where I'm going when I go on a big hike and even some small ones too. I always pack a first aid kit and my military knife and plenty of snacks and water. Never would have done that before watching 127 hrs and Aaron's story

@@johnwirk yes I do hate humanity but that doesn't change the fact of what I said not everyone would be able to cut their arm of dude but you can pretend all you want bro
One major takeaway I had from the movie was about human connection. If he had told someone his plans and when to expect him back, he probably would still have his arm. Someone would have realized he was missing and they would have searched for him sooner It took a lot of strength and determination to do what he did to free himself (I had to close my eyes/cover my ears when it came to the part where he broke the bones in his arm) but I think it took even more strength to be vulnerable and to allow the movie creators to portray the fact that his "I don't need anyone" mindset put him in that situation in the first place.
People go on about how primal humans can get when in danger. Oh yeah i'd probably get so feral that i'd knock my head multiple times against the rock to put me out of my misery
I was relieved that he was rescued at the end! at first I was so worried and uneasy pacing back n forth wondering if he will survived! he was s braved man! I cried the part when he cut his arm"! and all that!
I still cant get passed the fact aron survives cuting his own arm off then continue to clime down a rope and walk out the canyon amazing story incredible
A human's will is truly remarkable, the chance of this anomaly happening is extremely low, yet the bottomless will to live within humans is endless and truly amazing.
Excellent comment. Yes we have learned of many remarkable stories of human endurance & the willpower of people that has ultimately saved there own life
Saw the movie some time ago, but (literally) just finished reading the book. Amazingly inspirational story about the human spirit & will to survive. Mad respect to Aron for performing the unthinkable in order to facilitate his own escape.
If you watch the movie backwards it's a nice story about a man, Aron, who re attaches his arm and rides his bike home happily

respect sir Aron.
Let's not forget the bone
Sir Goop The nerves is much worse i have broke my bones a couple of times and you get in shock so fast that for me personally it didn’t hurt but i think cutting the nerves would have killed me
No he doesn't have the strongest mind, or one of, in the world.
He survived, to do so he had to go through severe pain for a short time, shorter than the eternity of death anyway.
There are some people in this world who go through worse sxxt than this everyday of their lives and they get up and get the fxxk to it.
He survived, it was that or death and if you want to live and not die then you would do the same.
If anything he left it too long and was very fortunate to get through it after the amount of time he had been trapped.
And besides, after so much time trapped like that there would have been no circulation in that part of the arm for all those hours and so he would have had to have it amputated anyway because thrombosis then septicemia and then gangrene would have set in. Obviously it's still a pretty awful thing to do but the pain would have been vastly subdued due to the amount of time without blood flow to that part of his body making him unable to feel that part of his arm . He left it way too long and is very very fortunate.

Vanillacup Yes, this and Nutty Putty...two stories that HAUNT. Good choice of a word.
What is Nutty Putty?
Ladies....would u mind telling us what the word Nutty Putty means ?.....Lmao
At least this guy had a way out. I mean being trapped in a crawl space deep in a cave rendered completely helpless. It's terrifying just to think about.
@@jamesstephens5314 its a cave where a man named john jones got stuck upside down trying to squeeze his way in hoping that the tunnel leads to an open space but he couldnt, they called rescue and the operation took 27 hours but they couldnt get him out so he died upside down, the scariest part is that his body is still in that cave till this day but u can't get to it since they cemented the entrance
This video skips over one of the most incredible parts of this story. Tired, dehydrated, weak from starvation, in pain and losing blood, Aron somehow set up a rappel with one arm and abseiled 65 metres to safety. It's difficult to imagine how this is possible beyond sheer force of will.

You think that until your body tells you otherwise. Once that fight or flight truly kicks in, you’re out of control and your survival instincts kick in. Depends on how badly you wanna live I guess!

Kinda Fun Fact (?) - He was given his arm back after it was removed from the boulder. However, after having it for some time, he felt it was only right to cremate it and pour the ashes back at the spot he lost his arm at.

“…I was free” he was reliving every second in that moment
The fact that he could go back into the same crevice and retell his story without a flinch is just as impressive. I would expect someone to be scarred for life after such a terrifying experience, never daring to go anywhere near a cave again.
I was just thinking EXACTLY the same thing!! I mean, this story is nightmare fuel! 😯😱
I think he had such a long time to come to terms with his own death while he was trapped in there that after it was over, the overwhelming realization of being free and not going to die (after he was rescued of course) far exceeded the trauma itself. It reminds me of how childbirth is often a harrowingly painful experience too, but once the child is born, the body floods with so many hormones and stuff that it kind of retroactively softens the memory of the painful process, and the joy of finally holding your child in your arms overwrites the painful birth before it gets put into your long-term memory. If it didn't, I reckon our species would just go extinct because childbirth would be too traumatic to try again, and if everyone has only one child max the species won't survive :P
Right. I couldn't have done that. The PTSD wouldn't allow my body to ever go there again. Mad respect!
he continues mountain climbing and hiking
That happens when you don't let the fear or trauma take control over your actions.
The mental capacity alone is fucking amazing to be able to think straight, not panic and survive that ... fucking amazing
If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and He loves you?
Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift - forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Explanation:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteouss, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we’ve all sinned.
(Romans 3:23) and the law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). For
someone to be justified before God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). ‘’For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16) That’s why only Jesus can
save us, because He lived a perfect and sinless life and is the only worthy
sacrifice and died for our sins. We aren’t saved based on our good
deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
He said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30), which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
‘’Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that
times of refreshing may come from the Lord.’’ (Acts 3:19) Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
Repentance is a turning from sin, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8). While sorrow from sin is
not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10). Do not play a hypocrite.
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you confess that Jesus is Lord (John 10:30) and believe that God raised Him from the dead, then you’ll be saved. (Romans 10:9)
You are born again with the spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
Bible is the Word of God. You may ask how so because it is written by men. Just like a letter is written by a pen,
so is Bible written by God using men. Bible/God's Word was written over 1600 year period by 40 different authors and 66 books, all leading to the coming of God's Son - Jesus Christ. There is consistency of revelation throughout a long time of period, many prophecies being fulfilled.
In the Book of Isaiah you see details about how Jesus Christ suffered even if it was written a long time before His coming.
In the Book of Daniel 500 BC you can read about Alexander the great who lived 300 BC.
We are living in the last days and Jesus Christ will return soon.
2 Timothy 3:1 ''But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.''
2 Timothy 3:2 ''For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,''
Luke 21:11 ''There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.''
1 Thessalonians 5:3 ''While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.''
Matthew 24:39 ''And they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.''
Luke 21:31 ''So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.''
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 ''Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.''
Revelation 13:16-18 ''And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.''
Matthew 24:21 ''For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.''
1 Thessalonians 4:16 ''For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.''
Matthew 24:19 ''But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!''
Matthew 24:42 ''Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.''
Mark 1:15 ''The time has come," Jesus said. "The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!"'
Get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ right now before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!. "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
You may start with a simple prayer from the bottom of your heart, TRULY believing that God listens and
cares. (Jeremiah 29:13) ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''
Get to know Christ through His word. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!

When you see it
It’s amazing how many things came into play that eventually saved his life. If he had gotten the sharp multi-tool he actually wanted to take with him instead of the cheap shit he actually took because he couldn’t find the sharp one then he would’ve cut off his arm essentially right after trying lifting off the rock failed. At that point the couple wouldn’t have been in the canyon that helped him to get back to his car when the helicopter arrived, which wouldn’t have been looking for him, yet, either and instead he would’ve just bled out. In other words, that cheap multi-tool he got from his mother for his birthday together with a headlamp essentially saved his life.
@lis te there might have, but the helicopter definitely wouldn’t have been looking for him because at that point no one knew he was even missing, yet. Since the area is quite remote, chances are he would’ve bled out. Read his book. It’s quite the read!

Man, listening to the recording after the first time he tried to cut his arm off was devastating. Just the defeat and hopelessness in his voice is so heartbreaking.

This story is simply amazing. Imagine how brave you have to be to cut your arm off with a dull knife, after you break your arm and you have to cut through the tendons and the nerves. He said he heard a loud popping sound in his brain when he cut the nerves. Talk about the will to survive. The extreme majority of people probably would not be able to do that.
I hope to god I’m never forced to make a decision like cutting off my arm. I’ve can’t imagine.
Can't even comprehend what it must have been like to come to the decision to start cutting. Personally, I think I would have died down there, I wouldn't have been able to hack my arm off. Incredible act of survival.
True. Crazier to think that he overcame one of our body’s biggest instinct which is not to harm yourself.
Actually, I think when it's life or death the instinct not to harm yourself is overridden by the instinct not to die. Still remarkable though
I think it's very possible that the brain changes priorities in a situation like that. Since you want to avoid dying, and staying means more dying than cutting yourself loose and possibly managing to get help. And adrenaline and those chemicals are probably released in huge amounts to dull the pain to a level where you are able to do it... I'm just speculating though, but regardless, the body is so much stronger and smarter than we think.
I mean, you don't truly know what you would do unless you are actually in the situation. Many of us can't imagine ourselves doing many things, but when death is an option, there are many things we are able to do out of panic or for the need to survive. Maybe, you would in fact it cut your arm off in this situation too. Still, maybe you wouldn't, so this man is really strong for being able to decide to do this and actually do it. Brave man.
Imagine if the rock fell down after cutting his arm.

It wouldn’t matter. His arm was dead from lack of blood flow. He was going to lose the arm regardless.
@@cookncrook6902 yeah, but if it fell someway over the spot he cutted. He would have to do it again

Imagine if help arrived as soon as he cut off his arm.
I'd like to imagine that he didn't feel too much pain since the weight of that huge rock on his arm could've pressured the nerves and made it numb.
oh no, no he felt a lot.
check this out, its him telling his story himself.
ua-cam.com/video/EUq_61ps7R0/v-deo.html
He says in his book that the arm had started rotting by the time he cut it off. It had essentially died. So it definitely hurt less!
He said that cutting through the nerves was the most painful part because even just grazing it with the knife sent a sharp pain that went up to his shoulders. So yeah...
You don’t have to watch the move. This video says everything
Ive seen this movie....this guy was strong will powered and honestly more brave than a whole lot of us to do what he did
This is the only person who can answer Yes when you say to him ‘how have you not heard of that, have you been living under a rock?’
Not gonna lie i feel like this guy has saved many lives over the years. I never would have thought to tell my family and friends where I'm going when I go on a big hike and even some small ones too.

I remember this being a movie a while ago but wow! and here I am complaining thinking my life is hard this guy is the epitome of mental toughness so happy and so glad he made it through I've been through a lot in life but I don't think I could nearly come as close to anything like that what an amazing story of an amazing man🙏
Its utter stupidity doing this type of thing alone. Amazing toughness to escape though
Completely fine going alone, as long as you let people know where you will be and what your plans are, proper measures all the way around
@@User18dog sure it is....
@@User18dog nah never ok to go alone
@@OGxGoku well yes it is. Just because you don't think so doesn't make it so. If he had mentioned to someone where he was and how long he'd be gone for, they would be able to get to him. Prep is everything.
@@BoshyG if you're going this deep. You should have someone with you. Or stay on know clear paths. That was his mistake he went into wilderness that's not often traveled
I'd die probably die a looser rather than cut off my arm cause it takes real courage to do so😥
Not having the will to cut an arm off, does not make you a coward, not all of us could have made that decision if we were in that situation. we all react differently to challenging situations.
I think you would..the will to live would force you somtimes WE dont know what we would do in such situations also the HOPE that somone will find you soon can be dangerous
I didn't know you can for a looser
Omg, same.
@@MrSvabovic Most people have no idea of what "they" would do in situations like these. Being in the clutches of thirst and starvation flip switches we never thought we had.
The amount of courage and resistance this guy has is absolutely incredible.
Near death experiences teaches you things that no teacher could ever and that is "you will know how valuable your life is at the moment you are about loose it!!!" Be grateful for what you have... Let's not take this day for granted...
7:19 you could tell he had relived that same moment
Man he really wanted to live. I really don’t know if I could do that. Curse word
You'd be surprised what you can put yourself to in a certain death situation
@@MrCow579 I agree especially knowing I have children now I’d have to get out and get to them
Aron is one of my hero's what a strong mind and man to keep on living
07:15 was heartbreaking.. The memory must have been as painful as it was when the job was done.. You're amazing.
Stay strong and stay wonderful everyone 💕✨. _hugs for everyone_
yeah he looks like he's really reliving it...
Legend has it: His balls are holding that 800lbs boulder up in that canyon to this day...
This guy is a total badass.
Was it worth it? Idk...
@@moontowhee what-
*Dumbass.
@@andreTVist walking in the wasteland all alone fpr sport
Discovered this channel today it's informative thank you so much 🌸
The movie 127 hours wasn’t an easy watch
I’m not a fan of James Franco but he played the role very well
Franco is a legend
6:07 those shadows behind him... creepy.
?
This was a well made, interesting breakdown of the whole thing. Great work. Thanks for the upload!
*THIS MAN INSPIRED ME TO CUT MY ARM OFF*
🤣
Hold up-
Yeah, what an inspiration 😏😏😏
cut the wrong one. now have to cut the other as well.
No 😂
Can't make this up: The video paused at the part where he decides to break his arm and stab it and it cuts to a Boneless Wings commercial from Pizza Hut....dayum UA-cam you TWISTED SICK lol.
You should have way more recognition tbh.
The Maze is a nasty place. “You reach the overlook, and from there.... you could use wings” - Edward Abbey
“Decided to put cutting arm off on hold” 😆🤟🏽🤟🏽
True respect to this man. I could never imagined doing something as horrific as this.
then again, you re, like me, not as foolish as this guy to purposely play with your LIFE like this. correct?
I first watched the movie when im in grade 3 and since then i get terrified entering narrow alleys ..... But now I love watching narrow caves spelunking and even planning to explore deep narrow caves in the future
I'm gonna be honest, I would have died there. No way could I have cut my own arm off with a pocket-knife
same
Survival instants is something we all have. You will literally do anything to survive if it really came down to it.
Instincts*? 💀
Not everyone has the will to do something like that even under those circumstances I would say out of 10 people maybe 1 or 2 would make it out alive
@@codywalkden5297 Hate humanity much? I would say any "healthy" individual who could survive until the point of instinctual over ride would do this.
@@johnwirk yes I do hate humanity but that doesn't change the fact of what I said not everyone would be able to cut their arm of dude but you can pretend all you want bro
@@codywalkden5297 I bet that guy didn't think he'd be able to. When you're literally in the face of death, people are capable of anything to survive.
One major takeaway I had from the movie was about human connection. If he had told someone his plans and when to expect him back, he probably would still have his arm. Someone would have realized he was missing and they would have searched for him sooner It took a lot of strength and determination to do what he did to free himself (I had to close my eyes/cover my ears when it came to the part where he broke the bones in his arm) but I think it took even more strength to be vulnerable and to allow the movie creators to portray the fact that his "I don't need anyone" mindset put him in that situation in the first place.
James franco did it better
James: "I did noooottt. Oh hi mark."
Hahahaha
You're tearing me apart, Lisa.
lmaoo
People go on about how primal humans can get when in danger. Oh yeah i'd probably get so feral that i'd knock my head multiple times against the rock to put me out of my misery
It would take a long time and you’d just get a headache
Holy shit. What an incredible ordeal. So glad he survived
The void and emptiness which one feels when he knows he is trapped and the fact that no one else knows about his absence...man, thats something
He is the greatest adventure of all time ..give him his respect
no lol he didnt tell anyone where e was. stupid adventurer if u ask me
@@firepillow r u serious
He was an idiot
He ain’t no great explorer, he’s just some guy who got stuck in a hole with a rock on his arm and he had the balls to cut his arm off that’s all
Shut up the difference between him and you are that you would’ve died cuz you don’t have those balls 😘
“Between a rock and a hard place” clever
I was relieved that he was rescued at the end!
at first I was so worried and uneasy pacing back n forth wondering if he will survived! he was s braved man! I cried the part when he cut his arm"! and all that!
I still cant get passed the fact aron survives cuting his own arm off then continue to clime down a rope and walk out the canyon amazing story incredible
A human's will is truly remarkable, the chance of this anomaly happening is extremely low, yet the bottomless will to live within humans is endless and truly amazing.
Excellent comment. Yes we have learned of many remarkable stories of human endurance & the willpower of people that has ultimately saved there own life
Saw the movie some time ago, but (literally) just finished reading the book. Amazingly inspirational story about the human spirit & will to survive. Mad respect to Aron for performing the unthinkable in order to facilitate his own escape.
This channel actually did amazing job on editing and storytelling.
Always make sure to let people know where you’re going, especially when going on a hike... that can happen to anyone
