Audio Extracted From Aron Ralston's Real Video Camera Footage -Authentic

[@peppermint4875]

I can’t believe somebody was able to do and go through this in real life, can’t even wrap my head around it. Must’ve been such an insane experience. What an incredible man, I’m so glad he survived

[@delayeddeloy7761]

Yeah, we only ever see arms getting cut off in fake movies and all that. We never thought about the process of cutting through the own nerves. Probably the worst pain a human could feel is what I imagine.

[@pietromaximoff1230]

[@user-iv2fg7ne5p]

He didn't chose to cut his arm out of despair at the very last moment. He talks about it with a very lucid tone. How intense it must have been for him...

I like how he even describes what would happen even if he manages to cut off his hand and get out.

I don't even wanna think about it. I never really thought about the fact that you have to cut through the nerve but that really had me near throw up

[@anchorpoint3631]

The question is, did he really have to cut his arm? If only he was carrying something like hand sanitizer, perhaps he could pull his arm free if he poured the liquid all over it.

[@eddiestanford7308]

@@anchorpoint3631 No, this wasn't like having a ring get stuck around your finger, and using some kind of liquid to get it free. His arm was crushed up against a wall by an 800 pound boulder. There was no other way out but to do what he did.

Of course they don't literally describe it. But the audio stingers convey's well enough how painful it is when he gets to the nerve.

[@waltzofamaniac3069]

I really hate when people say it's fake because there's no way you could do that. First of all, there's all the proof that it's real, he's in tons of interviews, if you go see the rock it's still there, and there was even a movie about it. And second of all, it's all about survival instict. Human beings will do crazy things to survive. And tons of people say "I could never cut off my own arm". I think you could, I know I'd probably do it, because it gets down to the point where you're gonna die very soon, and if cutting your own arm off kills you anyways, at least you died trying right? Yeah it's gonna be extremely painful, and really hard, but if that's your only option than it's either that or death

[@asianconservativelawyer1531]

Actually the rock was moved because they feared that adventurers would like to see where the arm was and it’d have been too dangerous. They moved the rock and retrieved the arm and had it cremated. Aron scattered the ashes st the same location stating “it’s meant to be there” p.s I don’t know why this was on my recommendation

I wonder if aron ralston actually thought thats what it takes. Or maybe its just for the movie

[@ThePhenomonalOne2920]

This story is the kinda of thing that only happens in someone's nightmares while we sleep, in the safety and comfort of our warm, cozy beds at night. To actually know this happened to someone is unfathomable. God bless that man..

[@kbear4208]

That fact that on top of everything he was forced to stay awake almost an entire week without any sleep, massive sleep deprivation, is even more terrible. Nothing but time for fears to prey on him, more time to be hungry and thirsty, cold and in pain. I can’t even imagine a day of that kind of emotional and physical turmoil… I’m sure every minute felt like an eternity and it was the longest week of his life. That man’s inner strength and resilience is absolutely astonishing…

[@Tumbledweeb]

I really can't feel sorry for him, for the simple fact that he's an asshole who brought it on himself. He didn't inform anyone of where he was going, or even that he was going. Not a single word to people who cared about him. He also left everything at home; He had a satellite phone, which he decided not to bring along, cause fuck everyone who might worry about him after he just up and vanishes. Would've been a load off their mind to be able to give him a call to make sure he's doing all right, but no! Fuck those people! Satellite phone stays at home! He also owned much better knives/multitools that he could've brought along instead of that rusty piece of shit he did bring. But, yet again; Fuck that! How about bringing enough food and water for the trip he was making? Adding that to the "FUCK NO!" list. Did he even bring anything at all? Well, yeah... He brought his video camera so he could record his own narcissistic ass. He's a self-centered asshole who cared more about chasing adrenaline rushes than the people worried sick about him when he just disappeared without telling anyone, and leaving them with zero ways to check in with him.
