The Man Behind '127 Hours' Explains Doing the Unthinkable

RESPECT FOR THIS MAN

This guy is a living breathing inspiration! The book was absolutely amazing!

John barfneck yo shut up i

[@lyndonluquin4091]

When I was in high school, I thought the movie was just another movie. Yet I was wrong, it's a movie describing actual events in a Hollywood variant of the event.

[@TylerRushw0rth]

Aron is such an awesome guy

[@thediamondcreeperdantdccre5190]

Agreed

[@MrAceman441]

If you looked up tough and brave and fearful in the dictionary there would be a picture of Aron by each of those words. You have guts Aron and you have my respect and Chuck Norris approved.

[@cairocutie7242]

You know they chuck norris is so tough under his beard is no chin just another fist. Maybe he could donate it to this guy

[@harrygills-w-f8480]

this man should be honoured with respect after the 6 days being stuck and no hope

[@CalumOH]

John barfneck He had a phone but it didn't have signal way out in the middle of nowhere. Who has an emergency locator? I've never heard of that. Got to remember this was almost 2 decades ago when mobiles still had antennas. He went canyoneering himself because he wanted to. Its not a very common hobby where there'd be alot of people willing do to it with you anyways. I bet he regrets not telling anyone where he was going but how often does something like this happen. He probably thought he would be back for dinner. He's not an idiot, infact hes extremely smart to have gotten out of that situation alive. Many people would've died of thirst or blood loss. He used everything he had to survive and find help. He's an incredibly brave man.

[@tinsunara8811]

@John barfneck go to hell

[@gamefighterx6676]

John barfneck yes he was really stupid to do what he did. But you can’t crack down on him like you are now after what he’s been through.

[@urgeniusINTPgirl]

@@CalumOH still I can't imagine how could he cut his arm off without feel any pain, I mean.. OMagGoosh

[@platinumpatience5307]

127 hours of delaying the first solution. I would've ended up dying. Huge respect and motivation from/to this guy!

I thought the same thing! I would have died

@Offworlder1 ok

[@lindsay7858]

Offworlder1 why are you being so cruel? he knew it was a mistake not to tell anyone after it had happened and obviously learned from it

[@sadiehamilton7040]

Absolutely amazing guy. 127 hours was such a beautiful film, really opened my eyes to a lot of stuff.

aron has inspired me to cut my arm off

aron has inspired me to cut both of my arms off

[@carsonseward8]

Alan Lu same here but I might do it with means if the same problem happens to me then I will do it for sure

[@PureM_]

Purple Giraffe that makes sense

[@theblakex]

I would cut my arm off just so I could get interviewed by Katie Couric

[@JWesker1998]

I could actually feel his pain when reading his memoir. This man is not only a genius in writing, but a man who truly has respect.

[@eastdragon42]

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.

[@Luke101]

There is nobody more badass than this man... really take a minute and think about what he had to do to himself... and to walk miles and miles afterwards just hoping you'd find someone. God damn

[@MrParkerman6]

*dumbass. Only a dumbass would assume a bolder only held by friction is gonna support your weight.

[@Luke101]

MrParkerman6 are you dumb? Clearly it couldn’t be moved after it fell on him, which was also held by friction.

[@Luke101]

They had to destroy it in order to get his arm back. It couldn’t be moved

[@andyadinata4191]

@@Luke101 No, they didn't destroyed the Boulder, they use that I quote "According to television presenter Tom Brokaw, it took 13 men, a winch and a hydraulic jack to move the boulder so that Ralston's arm could be removed".

a survivor

[@T-W-M]

His severed hand and forearm were retrieved from under the boulder by park authorities. According to television presenter Tom Brokaw, it took 13 men, a winch and a hydraulic jack to move the boulder so that Ralston's arm could be removed. His arm was then cremated and the ashes given to Ralston.

MrParkerman6 what?

[@ShinyHappyPurple]

His book Between a Rock and a Hard Place is a great read, I have a copy and I highly recommend it :)

[@SailorV1234]

I don't know why I keep putting it off. Is the scene where he decided to cut his arm off super detailed? I may have read Misery with zero issues, but that was fiction. In real life, I can't do wounds that show bone.

[@GymnasticsGirlxox15]

Hes so positive aw:')

[@noelleemusic]

this story brings tears to my eyes

[@benm5970]

I still can’t believe that the pocketknife he had wasn’t just able to cut through his skin, but his bones too

[@thegeneral1955]

He broke his arm bones and had to use the pliers of his multi tool to rip his tendons out. Luckily he had a smaller blade on the multi tool for his skin. Skin is very fragile and easy to cut through. Next time you’re preparing meat to be cooking stop and think that the beef you’re cutting is basically the same as our flesh.

[@gachagamer_1652]

A sole survivor! Restpect.

[@MaryamAli-fi3re]

i watched the movie and had to explain the child part to my sister

[@loch_o_len3594]

i just saw a photo of his cut of hand before it got removed from the bolder i spewed and had to get the la[top fixed

[@ThatFoofromCali]

I know it's really late but how?!?!?

[@BlackAngus555]

What's really disturbing and Aron's book has the picture when he took it himself, but the hand that was still trapped in the boulder was literally decaying........ God man, that in it of itself is a miracle that he didn't die of a decompository infection while his hand was still attached to his arm......

[@lydiaroyal3251]

respect

[@kts5920]

Aron Ralston is such an inspiration, I saw the film a few days ago, James Franco did a great job playing Aron. ❤️🙌

[@herr_pouya]

Flexi Flow In my opinion a brave man is hero

[@herr_pouya]

But he survived. Many of us can't do that !!

[@MrParkerman6]

Doesn't count as a hero if you save yourself from a situation you put yourself in in the first place by being a dumbass. Firemen are heros. They actually save people. Not this dumbass. Never trust a rock only held into place with Friction to hold your body weight.

[@avocadotoast6383]

OMG THAT WAS SO PAINFUL !!!! SALUTE

[@HOY_BR1CKYY]

i scream when i get a paper cut imagine aron litteraly cutting his skin prob the veins next the muscle and the nerves i watch gore videos every week and i can handle them like a guy falling trough a building blood popping out but seeing the movie the scene where he cuts his hand off like seeing the nerve actually made my stomach hurt and that was 5 minutes of pain in the movie he had to do that x30 just to survive like if that was me im accepting my faith but this guy has more balls than lebron's 26k shooting record

is the arm still trapped under the rock

[@nathanmcchristie3997]

Ben Gaxiola the left it there but it most definitely decomposed

[@Seecret]

they lifted the rock to get his arm then cremated it and gave him the ashes then he scattered them at the place where it happened Blue John Canyon

[@nathanmcchristie3997]

Lolitsbam oh thanks. I read the book and it said they couldnt lift it up but i geuss tthats what happened

[@Seecret]

Nathan Mcchristie it took 13 men, a winch and a hydraulic jack to move the boulder so that Ralston's arm could be removed. His arm was then cremated and the ashes given to Ralston. He returned to the accident scene with Tom Brokaw and a camera crew six months later on his 28th birthday to film a Dateline NBC special about the accident and to scatter the ashes of his arm where he said they belong.

[@nathanmcchristie3997]

Lolitsbam wow where did you find all this info?

[@onewaylife4all]

Why is one of his arms shorter than the other?

[@Fr3ddyFazb34R]

He cut his arm off when got it stuck in a boulder that's why his arm is short if you watch the movie 127 hours it explains why his arm is shorter than the other

[@cringestuff2694]

I wonder if he is going to get a new arm
