Whew!! That is terrifying!! Albert Lin is lucky that it crushed his prosthetic foot and not his other. Being an explorer is crazy dangerous. Stay safe Mr. Lin and have a "Happy New Year"!!!

[Silverspy]

Dang that's really scary, he's lucky it got his prosthetic leg. Glad he's ok.

[fallinginthedp]

I love his no-BS attitude. Breaks an artificial leg, puts on a new one, and goes on.

I have had maybe 3-4 times when I was so very close to getting killed and watching this brought all those feelings rushing back to me. When I was 16 years old I was in the back end of my family's pickup truck when we blew a tire, jackknifed and rolled. I was so lucky that the only damage to me was a broken left index finger. I still freakout when people I'm with drive too fast and turn too sharply and I am 71 years old now. It was so sad to hear that Albert lost his foot in a rollover accident. I am overjoyed for him that it did not stop him from doing what he does. A long and happy life to you Albert and stay safe.

[ItumelengMotlana]

Glad that he is okay.
I am really inspired. After that scary event he still continue.

“My foot’s broke”

*Me looking for a feet but notice the feet is missing*

[TheSporadicTraveler]

Albert you don't need to take risks to make good documentaries... you are just taking risks for yourself. Your life is just as precious now than before your accident. I'm glad you are ok

[HikingMishap]

That happened to a friend of mine a couple years ago but the rock landed on him. There were some other boulders to either side so he didn't get crushed but he was badly scraped and bruised and it took a couple people to be able to move the rock to get him free.

Careful sir don't put your life in harms way God bless you and your family members

[N.N.N-wf]

I was just watching your videos and then I saw this :( I am glad nothing worse happened because it was terrifying! stay safe Albert

[davkatjenn]

I was blown away when I saw that it took off his prosthetic leg. Thank God it got it and not his other leg. Thank God he was OK.

[shadow]

Wow thankful you were not hurt, thankful your prosthetic took the hit, thankful you have a spare prosthetic with you. Take care.

[greenlover]

Wow. What a great adventure. Lucky you

[jamiebizness]

Wow . That was a close one . Holy cow . Glad your safe

[Shadismic]

Lucky, it’s good that he brought a spare foot along.

[wenhaowong]

thanks god you are still alive, glad you are safe

[beverlyhollenbeck]

Dang, dude! So glad you’re ok! Silver lining that is was the mechanical foot. Love watching your NatG ‘travelogues’! You find the darndest things and present them with no bs or histrionics like others I can think of. Can’t tolerate their inanity. Always watch you. Stay safe!!

[geethakakalingu]

"lets keep going" just wow that words

[lisadolan]

How crazy that the rock that damaged the prosthetic foot. If a rock had landed on that foot he would’ve lost it then.
The coolest dude in the world was destined to lose that right foot.

Wild 😳

That must’ve been profound 😐
