      Hardest thing as a parent is to let your kid go out and cane themselves as they explore their boundaries. That wasn't in the Child Raising 101brochure.

    I'm 49 and disabled. Have Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (joint/muscle contractures) and Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease). Been handicapped since birth, started using a wheelchair permanently around 7 years old. I've done some crazy shit in my life: racing down steep hills, jumping ramps, trying to ride motorcycles when I can't even walk, holding onto car bumpers going at 40+ mph. I've broken quite a number of bones in the process. Severely broke and screwed up my left leg once when I crashed racing down a steep hill while weaving between people and jumping curbs and medians. Had this type of thing been around when I was younger, I would probably have killed myself trying to do it. This guy gets my total respect. From one generation to another, keep doing you Aaron. Give those who are in a similar situation something to live for. :)

    • @SomFunk
      @SomFunk 7 лет назад +30

      One probable reason is that for some the thumb down could mean like "I don't want this kind of videos suggested". Other is the viewer is really young and just... doesn't get this. Whatever the real reason is, it is probably not related to the action. The more I think, the more I can find possibilities of "misfiring" the thumb down. My kitten jumped on the tablet! I just missed the thumb up slightly! I fell asleep on watching something before and shuddered awake knowing nothing about what's happening! But also, it could be psychological reason. Hatred, bad day, girlfriend left... Still, 3 out of 800+ is so low it can be ignored. It means this stunt is ranked really high!

      You should watch the 'Travis Pastrana Nitro Circus' movie. It's kind of a documentary journey to this big event. They do a lot of stuff in Travis' back yard. In one scene they're doing a loop de loop. Aaron tried it and crashed. Someone said, "Aw man, he hit so hard, I thought he was going to get up and walk!" (^.^)
