  • Um that is gross. But i guess you gotta do what you gotta do. I probably woudn't wait for someone to come...
  • that is extremley scary! poor man i could never cut my toes off! i would probably just wait till help arived very brave guy!
  • i really don't think i would have been able to cut of five toes! he had to be really strong to go through that pain!
  • Wow, that os an amazing story! I honestly don't know what I would do. I would definitely consider it because I wouldn't want to die, but I don't know if I could make myself do it. It would definitely be a difficult decision! 
  • Thats just like the movie 127 hours where he had to cut off his own arm just to get free from a rock that wedged his arm between the rock and a wall. True Story.
  • ouch.  that would hurt so bad. how can he like walk without them...
  • Issues...
  • he was there for a half an hour. i would've waited at least an hour or 2. or until i got hungry or thirsty.
  • Situations like that your survival instinct kicks in and apparently his was to cut his toes off. It sounds like that guy who cut his arm off who got pinned by a rock except on a smaller scale.
  • ow that sounds like it would hurt a lot! i dont think i would have u guts to cut off my own toes! and how did he get pined under his trailer anyway?
