    This is incredible. A great story told by a great man.

    If you have 15 minutes, this is a wonderful survival story. Not sure if this is the correct forum, if not please have a Mod move it.

    The YouTube videos were removed due to copyright claims, but here are the originals:

    I cannot turn my sound on in my present location. Can somebody sum it up for me? I'll watch it later but I'd like to know what it is now.

    what a tough kid, way to go.

    TL: DR version: Ross (survivor) listens to friend, friend shoots Ross with a shotgun, Ross lives remarkably, friend gets 35yrs.

    Quick summary: A 17 year old guy does his friend a favor and takes him to the "bad side of town" to take him to his "friends house". He ends up getting shit three times (head, chest, arm) by a shotgun, and ends up surviving and learning to do everything all over again. He ends up getting justice on the guy (his friend) in court and saves the day. Turns out his so called "friend" shot him to join a gang.

    Hrmm. You know, the older I get, the more I realize that humans are really hard to kill.

    We would not have survived as a species if this was not true.

    After waiting around to see the responses to this thread, and not seeing any after 30 min, I gave in and watched it myself. I must say, I am glad I did. Very inspiring to see him where he's at now after what happened.

    Wow...Simply amazing...

    At the same time I feel like the skaters a hero, I can't help to want to kill the guy who shot him, and I'm not usually like that, but I really want him to suffer.

    kinda true, there are several stories of people having survived situations which would have killed them , but that was because many of their wounds luckily missed vital organs and vessels.
    If you watch "1000 ways to die" you will realize that we are still fragile in many ways, especially our heads....when they say wear a helmet ...you do do it!!!!
