As a wheelchair user myself, at first I was like, "I gotta try that ... on secondhand…" (i.imgur.com)

That's the second worst accident that's ever happened to that guy.

[–]MrNillows -1 points0 points ago

ohhh right out of Daniel Tosh's mouth. you know it

[–]Ryan1014 0 points1 point ago

Ironic, eh?

[–]JayDee240 17 points18 points ago

After this guy fell down the escalator, I like to imagine that someone ran over and without thinking asked, "Can you feel your legs or wiggle your toes?"

[–]Guboj 11 points12 points ago

"Actually, I can! It's a miracle!!!"

[–]cplat 16 points17 points ago

Is "on secondhand" a real phrase people use? Linguists? I think you're mixing up "on the other hand" with "on second thought".

[–]g_etzwane 2 points3 points ago

You are correct.

[–]erikpurne 0 points1 point ago

It's funny because this seems to be the 'corrected' post; the first one said "I'm secondhand."

[–]wtfisdisreal 4 points5 points ago

Something similar happened to me when I tried to run down the up escalator.

[–]grahvity[S] 6 points7 points ago

Just imagine the karma had you been wearing a helmet camera.

[–]wtfisdisreal 1 point2 points ago

DARN!

[–]randybob275 0 points1 point ago

Was this before or after the Shitception incident?

[–]wtfisdisreal 1 point2 points ago

Definitely before, this happened when I was around 9, I was shopping at Macy's with my mom.

[–]grahvity[S] 62 points63 points ago

If you're curious, I'm the skydiver who broke his neck and filmed it.

Edit: downvotes? REALLY?! Sorry for giving a little context to the title. Jeez.

[–]Hugs_n_Nugs 4 points5 points ago

If you complain about downvotes, only more will come.

[–]mainsworth 8 points9 points ago

For someone who skydives and has broken your neck, you sure are sensitive.

[–]grahvity[S] 24 points25 points ago

sure are sensitive.

That's a paralysis joke, right? I get it.

[–]mainsworth -2 points-1 points ago

It wasn't.

[–]Whoa_Bundy 4 points5 points ago

Are you seriously giving a paraplegic a hard time?

[–]marc4207 2 points3 points ago

Looks like he gives himself a hard time. I mean, just look at his name.

[–]mainsworth 2 points3 points ago

It wasn't a joke about his handicap. Honestly.

[–]kampfy3 -3 points-2 points ago

wah waaaaaaah

[–]torokunai 1 point2 points ago

Before viewing I thought you were the instructor who got taken out by the flying grape guy.

He's pretty inspiring.

[–]theJaylee 1 point2 points ago

I remember this when you posted it yes.

[–]Thecobra117 0 points1 point ago

Dude! I remember you! Epic!

[–]ExdigguserPies 0 points1 point ago

Reddit can be harsh and fickle.

[–]johhan -1 points0 points ago

+1 for relevant username.

[–]Johngazm 1 point2 points ago

Daaamn. Do you know how sharp the steps are on escalators?

[–]pugwalker 0 points1 point ago

I feel so bad laughing my ass off at this

[–]steezy_wonder -1 points0 points ago

He deserved it.

[–]digital-dave 0 points1 point ago

...On secondhand, use a helmet. Please, GOD, use a helmet!

[–]SecretSnack 0 points1 point ago

If this occurred in America, on private property, and the kid got seriously injured, 90% chance the property owners are shelling out millions to him and his family.

[–]RationalArgumentMan 0 points1 point ago

Doubtful. Even in America I can't imagine that happening when malls have elevators.

[–]SecretSnack 0 points1 point ago

It depends if the case goes before a grand jury. Jurors don't think straight when they see a kid in a wheelchair. Unless his parents were the one's filming, they could probably argue that it was mall security's job to keep people from screwing around like that, and they failed to stop him from doing that. Therefore, he got injured by the negligence of mall staff. Yeah.

[–]zarisin -1 points0 points ago

Well at least the guy is already paralyzed.

[–]duggtodeath -1 points0 points ago

It's not like you can get paralyzed twice, so that kid is fine.

[–]punarvasu -1 points0 points ago

holy shit that looked bad.

i guess it could be worse, he was already paraplegic?

[–]powerofblu -2 points-1 points ago

ummm.... that kid could have died >> is he alive? << does someone have a story about this?
