I just love how Great Big Story includes not only humans in this, but also animals! It shows that not only humans deserve these prosthetics, but everything else does too!

Nobody gonna talk about how freaking impressive the fact that the first prosthetic allows the guy to actually FEEL what he's

The Bionic farm, the teenager that built an arm with lego, the tap dancer with one leg... They all deserve their own video! So inspirational and uplifting!

I don't need prostetic help. But I watch these to understand what others go thru. Thank the world they have other people that have the smarts to help others in this way. They are a God send. People like this give me faith in humanity.

Love the ingenuity behind David and his LEGO arm. Would love to make something with him and nerd out.

The first mans story was amazing, but also unacceptable. That factory should never make or allow employees to clean nesr equipment while its on. He never should have lost his arm.

Love this video, these are such incredibly smart people doing amazing research to help people. These innovations are going to change prosthetics. 20 years from now who knows where it will be

Back when I was maybe the 3rd grade I remember seeing a kid with no hands or feet, all he did was use a scooter I dont know how he was holding on but atleast that didnt stop him from doing what he wants
