Teenage Lifeguard Paralyzed On The Job | Sam's Comeback Story So Far

Get Can't Slow Down Clothing Here! www.cantslowdow...
Sam Jarmer became paralyzed while working as a lifeguard on a New Jersey beach in the summer of 2019. Since that day, Sam has been working as hard as he possibly can to get back on his feet and get himself closer to a normal life. I got to sit down with Sam and have him share his story with everyone.

As someone else who has suffered a spinal cord injury and also broken my neck I totally get everything you've both gone through. Be thankful for the help you received as someone like myself faced it 100% alone and to this day 20yrs later I have yet to get help of any kind.

[@user-xb7tb9rz4j]

Scotty's brand should be aimed at helping people like yourself... .. Rather than using people's struggles to tug at the heart strings and profiting solely for himself.

If you ever need anything man hit me up on here and I will help you out any way I possibly can. I have been paralyzed for 10 years so I understand.

Hey scotty, , I just wanted to say thank you for your positive outlook for life. I lost my oldest daughter in 2018 , my son showed me that he was watching your u tube show, , it's helped my son and I out of the deep grief of loosing a loved one, he's a bike person too, I'm so glad you are there, thank you. 😊

[@aaronoechsle3434]

I can’t compare my injury to a neck or spinal cord injury but i suffered a severe arm injury on Memorial Day this year. Shattered my elbow to the point I nearly lost my arm. Your videos are a huge reason why I have pushed my PT and recovery so hard. Thank you for doing what you do Scotty

[@tearsofsoy4091]

Wow how did you do that?

[@yosh9905]

I had a whole lot of Luck when i technically broke my neck (c2) a few years ago but only had to spend one week in Hospital. At that age i dont think i could have handled a spinal core injury mentally and i dont know if i could now. What i actually want to say is that it is absolutely amazing and inspiring to see you two pushing towards their Goals and handling the situation so well. Thx for your work Scotty, im hyped to see riding videos from you again!

[@jobrownsmith116]

Wow, you really did get very lucky as a cord injury that high up is not good. Were you then then fused? I was hit 3yrs ago at the side of my head above my fused. My neck snapped to the side. It looked like my c3 broke but flew outward and away from the cord so no new injury.

[@callsigncamp]

I paralyzed myself 2015 in a DH bike crash.. And I can't imagine being in water going through it.... Holy crap. Thank you for being such an awesome ambassador Scotty. Sam, if you read this, keep positive brotha and I wish you the most recovery possible!

[@loveisall5520]

As a health care worker for a few decades, it breaks my heart how the disabled are still not given the recognition they've deserved, and earned. Thanks so much for this update on Sam. I first saw him on 'George To The Rescue' and the whole family seems remarkable.

[@chrischristoferson1191]

Dr’s always says never dive into any body of water. Period. Thank god he lived.

So awesome to see Scotty sharing his experience face to face with someone who’s new to this. Giving them hope showing it is possible to improve. Stay strong Sam! Sending positive vibes from Australia :)

[@korspresley5650]

I want to see Sam more often on the channel, knowing his progress vs yours. I know everything can heal differently and at different rates for each person, I wonder the variances.

[@corporalclegg914]

a pal was in a rehab facility & friended a guy who lived the kind of life that allowed him to have a 52’ Hatteras sport fishing boat. he was over 50 miles offshore & dove into the Atlantic to cool down. he dove directly into a Sea Turtle & that impact caused him to become a Quad. He’s now able to walk with assistance, but is a long way from where Scott currently is. I’m sharing this, because fate smiles on us all: Extreme Athletes, Sedentary Gamers, Rich, Poor, Young & Old. the Way to Live is to Live with Love & Compassion for All & to not Sweat the Small BS in our Lives. Eliminate Those that Cause Strife & Disrespect from Your Life, even if it Hurts. Be Excellent to Everyone & Love and Respect One Another. We Damn-Sure Need It

[@thelonewrangler1008]

20 yrs ago I broke my back slightly mtn biking and basically walked it off only to be plagued by random weakness and motor function dysfunction years down the road. My injury isnt even close to what these heroes are going through but I say heroes because the toughest battle we as humans will ever fight is against the ego check we receive when we are reminded just how delicate we really are. There is so much more to dealing with injuries like this than just the physical parts. Stay strong guys and Thanks!

[@GetReykjaviked]

It's so crazy how their stories are different yet so similar. Both doing something they'd done the majority of their life. Both jumping over what was just another fun obstacle to them only to have it go wrong on the other side. Huge props to your guys' positive attitudes!

[@leelunk8235]

I POPPED MY C6-C7 DISC IN 2015, A NECK INJURY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HAD ONE, IS A VERY UNFORGIVING INJURY, IT TOOK ME 3 YEARS TO START TO FEEL BETTER AGAIN, IMAGINE WALKING AROUND FOR 3 YEARS WITH WHAT FEELS LIKE CONCRETE POURED DIRECTLY INTO YOUR NECK EVERY MORNING. TIL THIS DAY I STILL HAVE DISCOMFORT THERE, LAST NIGHT I HAD NECK DISCOMFORT AT THE BAR, BUT I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO STILL DO THE THINGS I LOVE, LIKE WEIGHT LIFTING, FISHING, ETC

Would love to know how he's doing now. Sounded pretty promising as far as gaining back some function.

[@denisepaulsenful]

I’m a C5/6 incomplete. However I have no faith my situation will ever change. I can feel everything below my injury my pinky and thumb both move freely but my fingers are curled. I have full bowel/bladder control. I can basically feel and move everything but I can’t walk. Success in my life is accepting that a physical disability isn’t the end. You can accept your disability and still have a wonderful life CO’s that’s what I’m doing. Newsflash is you can’t work a nerve like you can strengthen a muscle. This isn’t a muscular or a bone injury. The spinal chord is a series of nerves. That’s why our specialists are known as neurologists. Nerves can’t be strengthened or fused back together and that’s why we remain paralyzed. You can’t exercise your way to fixing a spinal chord injury. It doesn’t work that way. Ask Superman. Oh yeah. He died of his spinal chord injury.

I've been thinking a lot about the young man who was in rehab with you, the one with the hockey injury. If he was willing, it'd be great to see a video update on him so we can shower him with love. In addition, I'd love to see some ladies tee shirts for Can't Slow Down.
