Accident Night July 9, 2010: 12:22
Most people who know me know that I lost my leg in an industrial accident in a cardboard baling machine, but most people don’t actually know the full story of why I was in the machine, what went wrong, etc. Until now.

No I'm not 14 .....I'm over 40. But still . Cleaning leather or boxes while it's raining and the only noise is stomping and chewing and the smell of hay is the best feeling ever.

I also saw your 911 call on TikTok, and saw your mom’s comment which led me to your profile, which led me here.. I just watched this whole video and I have to say you are quite an inspiration! I’m glad that you were able to pull yourself out of there and that you live such an inspiring life despite of your accident.

[@pattyconnelly2295]

I have listened to that 9-1-1 call a few times, and every time I am amazed at how calm you remained during that call. Good to hear your story from you and that you're doing well.

[@FaintUnicycle98]

Fr I would’ve been screaming at her. Literally telling her “stupid bitch listen to me”

[@emimi1]

i know right i’m sure even the person on the other end was a bit confused at first because he sounded so calm 😭

[@millwalldave467]

He was in shock many military servicemen and women act the same after being horribly injured, it can cause your death if you lose it or be a massive help like in this case where he was so calm, his call resonated with everyone because if this happened to us we would like to think we would have they words for our mother, you are so right about it being inspirational it’s one of the most inspirational calls I have ever heard the can you pray with me and his confession of his horrible sins (probably as minor as any criminal could dream of yet horrible to him not even a misdemeanour 😂) I was just rooting for him and so happy he survived and wow how he has took his second chance at life YES TRULY INSPIRATIONAL

[@annashaneyfelt4709]

Me too! Remarkable! I think that shows what good parenting he had too.

[@tommyornothing7301]

Just heard your 911 call. I cried. I can’t imagine. How you only worried about your mom and crying out to God...you are amazing and I’m happy you’re doing well.

[@loveistheanswer5924]

It really inspires one to be the best version of yourself and to come in peace with God in my opinion. 🙂

[@redpillyoass5894]

I cry every time I hear him ask the dispatcher to pray with him.

[@luciw9928]

I’ve worked on a cardboard baler. I knew exactly what you were talking about. I was totally amazed how you handled your horrible situation!! You’re looking awesome!!! ❤️❤️

[@Crew9t]

Ah, so you’re familiar with the machine and all it’s glory lol

[@adaptive_syrup745]

I initially thought it was a hay baler as I'm a farmer and have heard plenty of stories about gruesome accidents in hay balers.

@@Crew9t I too knew it was a cardboard bailer right away. I work at an amazon sort center so I’ve been around these types of machines.

[@789cosmo]

having three endings to the video is super relatable, my dumbass is constantly like "oh yeah and etc etc." glad they were forced to file bankruptcy after the event, can't really call it an accident when they knew it wasn't safe. Glad you made it and are doing good!

Haha I kept thinking of stuff after I would end the filming lol

[@LitchWasTaken]

Hey listen man I love how the missing leg didnt stop you from living life and I think its amazing how you remained calm on the 9-1-1 call and you were also very kind to jeff the dispatcher

[@Crew9t]

Hey thanks for the kind words ツ

[@christinekyle1975]

I just watch panic 911 and you were in survival mode during the whole 911 call. You never gave up and kept telling the 911 dispatch caller that you didn't want to die. You both were heroes that night. ❤

[@Elizabeth7925273]

You are incredibly well spoken. I initially thought I would skip through some parts of the story, but I listened to every word.

[@BTSUPER10R]

You don't know how much i prayed for you to make it through while listening to that 911 call. The call made me laugh with tears in my eyes. You are such an inspiration, it's been 11 years now, i wish you stay happy and safe for the rest of your life. And no one has ever to go through something like this again 🙏♥️

“We severely injure” 😂😂😂😂 im sorry but that cracked me up how causal you said it 😂

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

Was watching 911calls when your call came on and I was ultimately led here. You were so calm and brave and as a mum myself your concern for your mum was heartwarming. Your mum must be so very proud of you. Your praying to God bought tears to my eyes, i believe he was watching over you that day. I hope the rest of your life is nothing short of wonderful, fulfilling and filled with love and laughter all the very best to you.

[@ObtuseMori]

Really interesting to hear the story from your point of view! I heard a retelling of it on Let's Read's channel ages ago and then listened to the 911 call, have been subscribed to your channel ever since. Honestly kudos to you for being able to get yourself out of the machine so quickly, call for help, and remain so calm the whole time - I can't imagine how much shock and pain you must have been in. Screw that company for being so irresponsible and completely disregarding yours and everyone else who worked there's safety. But your story and channel are really inspirational, I'm glad you're doing well and the accident didn't stop you from living a basically "normal" life. 🙌

[@Crew9t]

Thank you so much. Yeah, I’m doing very well 😊

[@bluebluesky3170]

Love the “As she should!” regarding the woman on the radio! Your calm in the moment and your reflections remind me of Rick Allen, Def Leppard’s drummer, who lost his arm in a car crash. Two amazing men!

[@nickdean2661]

I just listened to your 911 call and I was crying oh my goodness! You were so calm and brave beyond belief. I commend you on how you handled yourself and it was the sweetest thing to think about your mom and your stepdad. You even showed so much gratitude for the 911 dispatcher. You’re a class act! I had to find you to hear the whole story

[@IzzyGamez]

I found you thru Tik Tok and your story is amazing. You stayed humble from even before you got this job until now. God Bless you man !! I’m so glad you didn’t allow this accident to define who you are !! You’re so inspiring.

[@tracey-leeselbycreative6595]

Just listened to your 911 call. Your mom must be hella proud. Glad that they linked your channel - my mom is also an amputee (motorcycle accident 17 years ago in May), going to show her her channel :) You were so loving and wholesome throughout the whole ordeal. Thank you for sharing.

[@DiminishingDawn]

You were absolutely amazing through it all. I watched it and added you because of that.

[@143guitar]

This randomly popped into my recommended and wow I’m so glad it did! I heard your 911 call so long ago but remembered you all the time later. I have to say how nice it is to hear that they had to declare bankruptcy. That many things missing for safety and they just didn’t care…scary to think of how many people right now are working under the same conditions and just don’t know it. Your body has some amazing fight or flight instincts. I’d like to hope I’d react in a similar way but I don’t think i would! So good to see you doing well!!!

[@GoofySillyGoose]

You good sir have brought me joy and inspiration. When you asked the dispatcher to pray with you, you proceeded to pray the most amazing prayer I have ever heard. You were calm, matter of fact, genuine, and full of love for your family and Jesus. Thank you, I really needed this. You’re a trooper, a soldier, a disciple. You spread that testimony of the grace of God. The Lord bless you and keep you, and shine HIS face upon you my brother! Much love..

[@keeneyeful]

WOW, so much to learn from from this incident, I'm glad to hear such a positive outcome. As an industrial medical responder I can't emphasize enough: Having an emergency plan and knowing how to apply it being the first - Including knowing where you are in order to to direct emergency (internal and external) responders! Always take emergency calls on radios seriously, ensure that proper machine guards and other safety procedures are in place to prevent these things from happening in the first place. This could have easily become a fatality if not for the actions taken by himself and those he credits with saving him. John, thanks for sharing! Enjoy life!
