A woman who went skydiving survived a tremendous fall when her parachute failed to open. What’s even more amazing about this is that an ultrasound scan revealed that she was pregnant and the baby also survived!

I've heard medical professionals tout the mantra "You're not dead until you're warm and dead" because there have been more than a few cases of someone being submerged in very cold water, being warmed up and revived and ending up just fine!

I just told my dad about Phineas Gage’s story and he said he remembered hearing about the personality change he went through. Before the incident, Gage would see two men arguing and would stay calm, but, because the moderator part of his brain was destroyed by the rod, whenever he saw someone arguing, he’d get violent. This caused a huge advancement in psychological science.

My friend was hit by a truck and was internally decapitated. She had the slimmest of chances of surviving, let alone being able to walk. She made a full recovery with short term memory loss and pain from the accident. She is my hero

I definitely think the Guy stuck that air hose in his backside on purpose lol because the story of how it got there is a bit suspicious

My dad has one of these stories. When he was in his early 20s he was driving on a curvy mountain road in one of those jeeps with no doors, and my dad wasnt wearing his seatbelt. A truck suddenly turns the corner and causes the jeep to swerve off the road and down the mountain. My dad wasnt wearing a seatbelt, so as the car rolled on its side down the mountain, he got flung out where the door should of been and landed in front of the car, and it rolled over him. He came out of it with 26 broken bones and lots of future back problems, but thankfully he is alive and well, and had a kid with another person in a car accident years before, who the doctor told she couldn't have kids

Food For Thought: You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.

Near death experiences are so incredibly traumatizing gosh these people are so resilient with their will to survive!

I remember hearing about a story about a man in his sixties was cutting trees for wood by using a chainsaw. Some how he lost control of chainsaw nearly cutting his own head off. Not only did he survive, he actually some how drove himself to the hospital. He made full recovery and lived for another 10 or 20 years.

Yes, he tripped and fell on the air hose

My drill sergeant in basic said he had a double shoot failure during airborne school. The only reason he survived was because he was able to cut one of his shoots open with a knife. Whats scary is in airborne you don’t pull your shoot much lower and your falling much faster than traditional skydiving. He broke both his legs but survived

Just like one of the oldest people to ever live once said “when you feel like your about to die… don’t”

By "Person Struck By Lightning the Most Times", they actually mean "Man Who God Cannot Smite", because that's clearly what's happening when you're struck by lightning 7 times.

Why do I feel like cheating death is just a “final destination” Scenario just waiting to happen

"I was trapped in a sunken ship for three days, I kept my faith and composure. I just about gave up nearing the third day, until I touched a diver passing by who along with his diving crew." - Harrison Odjegba Okene probably -

Thank you infographics! Your videos literally make my nights at work so much better!

3 years ago on my way to Burning Man I had my transmission go out in a way that made me think it was my transfer case linkage. I crawled under and found out reverse still worked fine when my hoodie sleeve caught on the transmission linkage and the truck shifted into reverse with me under it. I tried my best to get out from under it, but the truck hit me in the head and broke my neck. Fortunately the truck stopped like a skateboard on a pebble when the wheel hit my head and I managed to not only get out from under it. But also to chase it down and stop it as it was still in reverse. It wasn't far from popping my eyes out of my head and I literally was seeing stars for a while. I never came so close to death in my life. I had a non displaced fracture of my c7 and some pretty bad road rash from dragging myself across the parking lot to get out. Also some bruised ribs which were the most painful part. I still made it to Burning man though, and I had it confirmed by the doctor that I am indeed hard headed. Funny part is if the truck hit me anywhere else I probably wouldn't have fared as well.

i appreciate you infographics.

there's no way a full grown man could be pulled through a 5" diameter pipe and still live

My near death experience: Pneumonia I was at the age of maybe 1 when I got it. Out of what my parents told me, the doctors just said it was a cold but one night I was super bad and they took me in again. This time I went straight to the X-ray machine and but I drip on me. Usually kids would just stay in bed but I was playing and destroying everything in there. The doctor said it was unusual and never has happened before to see a child that was a sick as I was moving about and playing. I was breathing on half a lung.....

Can you do a video about peter scully? More people need to learn about his evil actions.

9:25 I haven’t laughed this hard in a while

A flight attendant fell 30000 feet when her plane disintegrated…but she survived.

Don't forget the Peruvian🇵🇪 diver 🌊 Alejandro Ramos Martinez, he suffered the Bends and ascended too quickly and is still recovering to this day. De-compression sickness - The Bends is potentially fatal 🧠.

That thumbnail... LOL

I was told that my uncle once wrestled with a boa constrictor in a swamp, and came out alive, although he was on the brink of death, he received medical attention in time.

That thumbnail is gonna attract a *lot* of people from DeviantArt.

All what I’m gonna say is that trucker guy definitely didn’t “accidentally slip”onto the air hose. We all know what he was doing haha

Yep, I was thinking the whole time with the woman who was skiing that you never pronounce someone dead if they were in ice cold water until they are warm and dead.

I love how they're all almost about to die but then just says "Not today death."

We have a saying in EMS that “the patient isn’t dead until they are warm and dead”. The cold water is definitely what saved her life. When someone goes into cardiac arrest and the doctors or EMS gets a heart beat they will put the patient into a hypothermic state since the cold water helps preserve brain function. It’s rare to survive even in cold water but it’s possible so that’s why they do CPR for a longer period than normal.

The unlucky man who was struck by lightning so many time’s it sounds like Zeus decided to use him as a stress reliever cause of his wife Hera being a little on the crazy and annoying side (fyi i don’t believe in those thing’s but it is a funny way of putting it)

In the show called 911, a mechanic fell on an air compressor for cars and started inflating, so I guess the screenwriters and directors knew about the truck driver's story.

Nice vid

Now thats crazy

How you upload so fast what drugs you using

They’re not lucky, they’re blessed God had another plan for them.

Hurt a bit ~The Infographics Show when talking about being cut in half. Still laughing out loud about it live! Like right now! xD

My uncle was working at a stonecrusher and his hand got caught and inevitably started to get pulled into the machine, he was very fit at the time from being a professional handball player. His whole left arm was in the machine, essentially crushed beyond recognition and he fought against the machine with the rest of his body for over 2 hours, until somebody found him and called for medical. His arm was sawed off at his biceps on the spot by a medic with military background and hes doing well nowadays.

It feels like this people are extremely unlucky and extremely lucky at the same time

There are several known instances of the "cut in half" or "pinned in half" thing...most don't survive. Such people will remain conscious and fairly stable until you remove the pressure keeping their blood from, well, bleeding out. Most of the time there IS nothing to be done but let them die. These individuals aren't removed immediately from their wreck or situation; they know they will die and if possible, nearby family can reach them if contacted promptly, and they get to say goodbye...a lot more than many get who've been hurt so badly. Once removed, their blood pressure drops to zero and they die almost instantly. Sometimes they are seared shut so tightly they have a chance to live, like the fellow in this video. He really _was_ lucky!

Oh frick! These people almost died 😮! I love your videos.

Wow man those people are very lucky

I was in the car when lightning became attracted to me, it hit the license plate and you could you just feel the whole car just fill with excess energy, most of it went to ground and we were safe, but I became supercharged for a couple decades, there was a point I could count down to a bolt of lightning, I've had it come down and reach towards my face stopping just short of grabbing me, and was struck in the car again later, I don't like being right out in the storm anymore, I can feel it coming for me.

Wow! That’s amazing that there alive

Regarding the proton beam, nuclear physics bore out how he survived. Basically human flesh is pretty bad at stopping high energy accelerated beams and the majority of those 3000 Grays passed though without depositing that energy. That said, it’s still amazing what happened and definitely a bad idea to go messing with high energy beams. It never should have happened, if not for a broken warning light and an unlocked door that should have been locked. The tragic part is how he had issue s getting medical and disability help and support for his injury. It was the first of its kind (and so far only) and there seemed to be no end to troubles getting the help he needed.

You don’t need a parachute to go skydiving, you need a parachute to go skydiving twice.

On the story about the man being dragged through the machine in north england, the animation said "call 911", this is incorrect. In the UK it is 999 for emergency services.

God was with them, and is with all of you! Love y’all!

In the immortal words of Jeff Goldblum”life uh finds away”

It's like the train apologized to the man, like "I'm sorry for crushing you in half, so here, some help to keep you alive."

That thumbnail got a certain subset of the internet BRICKED

Amazing what humans can live through!

Phineas Gage's birthday is tomorrow, I expect a gruesome Google Doodle of his accident.

The man who got struck by lightning 7 times and survived wasn't just lucky. he has a superpower, and it's the ability to control electricity. (theory)

3:23 - just a note...the man's co-workers in England would say "Call 999", not 911 😁

Micheal Holmes video is actually on KZfaq. Crazy to actually see it!

Great

Their family would be so happy!

23:10 I bet Mel Gibson spit out his beer when he heard that.

If the sky sniped me with regular intervals, i too would be paranoid.

The women who face planted in a icy stream had a similar ability to a frog. Surviving the cold and being underwater for a long time

The thumbnail just looks like Squidward before exploding from eating Krabby Patties going right through his thighs.

Rule 34 artists seeing the thumbnail: *Hey ive seen that somewhere before!*

The waving part is so badass to me.

It's been theorised that the fella being struck by lightning repeatedly was a bit of a storyteller, as a lot of the time, he says he was struck, but there was little evidence to back up his claims, given lightning tends to leave more marks than just a scorched hairdo... :\

My husband has been called a medical miracle as well. He broke his neck c1,c2,c3 and c7 which generally means quad paralyzed however if you met my husband 6 months after his accident you would never know that he had broken his neck at all. He was back to work full time by 1 year and today 9 years later the scars barely show where the halo was in his head. He walks and works a regular full time physical job with almost no side affects at all from his neck being broken. His story is actually a published work done by his doctor's but I don't know all the medical stuff however I do know any doctor who looks at his medical chart is in awe at his recovery.

On my way to Rehoboth Beach, I had terrible stomach pain and thought I was gonna have a medical emergency. After stopping at a Popeyes, I felt much better.

11:21 is covered by MrBallen, the complete story is on there

3:37 He was quite literally chewed up and spat out like bubblegum.

My near death experience: I almost drowned in a pool

“Lemme stick my face in this proton beam!” Bro W H A T !!?!

"This takes place in Northern England" The workers: Call an ambulance from a dountry thousands of miles away!

On august 4th i died for 6 minutes, no pulse and no breathing, i only lived because of my fiances quick thinking and action. There was no bright light, no angels or demons, just darkness, and a very serene feeling. I can give details if anyones interested, i still struggle to accept iv experienced death, something very, very few people experience and return to talk about it.

I know of a woman who fell 1000m - 1km - 3300 ft, she survived & made a full recovery

I'm an electrician and one time a guy took the same type of drill bit they show here that the guy took through his eye and out the back of his head. Well dude was on the other side of the wall from someone drilling through that wall with one of those bits. Not to get too graphic it hit dude in the mouth and took out his braces along with most teeth and some tongue!

Wow so the parachutes was just sitting there like 👁👄👁

Amen

make more of the real stories about criminals,how police catched criminals and all..pls

19:02 I remember seeing this case in some documentary show and the side of his face that was hit by the beam had almost no wrinkles - especially compared to the other half. I still wonder if it was just like a massive dose of Botox (if I remember correctly, it looked like the muscle on that side weren’t moving at all), or if somehow it was a result of the radiation.

I knew you were gonna talk about Phineas Gage 😁😁 I'm reading about him and I'm very curious about him. I find him handsome too... I feel bad what happened to him 😔

20:00 This is the injury that killed Dale Earnhardt.

10:00 🎶all the other kids with the pumped up.....🎶

Those guy holding an Totem of Undying

Love this Channel it’s so good be a teacher

*”intense farting”*

The woman who survived 80 minutes under water probably kept her mind off of breathing by spelling her name over and over

It is awesome to watch infographics show on youtube I like what would happen if you didn't brush you're teeth for 1 week

I laughed so hard at that, "he threw up so hard bits of his brain flew out" - that's the funniest thing I've heard for quite some time!

A girl I went to school with survived an internal decap and is doing fantastic today

Blessed

How he’s doing in his half life... That’s cold blooded Infographics.

I often wonder if anything supernatural goes on with these people. Like if a supernatural being saved these people or if they actually die and are possessed by ghosts

10:49 They didn’t explain how he physically managed to survive not only everything being stretched out, but things like air getting into his heart.

If the events of 3:07 happened in the UK the people in the background would've been calling 999 since that is the emergency number here in the UK not 911 .

people: almost dye music: happy

@16:00 can still see a good bit of leg on this guy. I'm not sure that tops Zeus's boy toy who got struck 7 times 😂

hello from new hamshire

Haha near dead experience in England, CALL 911, like that’s going to get anyone down there

Bro got struck by lightning 7 times , surely he never had to pay a electricity bill
