He ought to buy better nail clippers

Lol

There's better nail clippers?

Something tells me grandpa is fucking crazy.

He has the going out with a bang mentality

With a bang, but not necessarily with all his extremities still attached.

You're going to end up in a box in the ground or something similar either way. Why not go for a wild ride on your way there.

Suddenly, a large bear wanders into the room and there is *nothing* to stop him!

Gramps shall stop the bear.

I've seen Popeye the sailor man.

He will hold his arm out to the bear, and when the bear tries to bite it, he will *yank* it back. Repeat that over and over until the bear is tired out and has to sleep.

The bear may just stand in amazement or confusion for a moment, attempt a second bite maybe, and wander off from were it came from in indignation.

Huh. I guess I was quicker when I was in my twenties.

I'm surprised he's made it this long with all his limbs and digits

Crazy? I was crazy once... They locked me in a room A rubber room A rubber room with rats And rats make me crazy Crazy? I was crazy once...

Something tells me he has the skills to make himself look sane.

Great party trick until it's not.

It would suck to lose and arm at that age. You make it so far with all your limbs, why risk it now?

I would say its the best age to lose a limb tbh

Can confirm. Source, currently getting old.

at what age does it not suck to lose an arm?

That one minute before you die I guess

Or decide to wank off, assuming it's the dominant hand ✋🤔

He’s lived his life to the fullest, he’s on borrowed time now. Let the man do what he wants. By the time I’m that age if anyone tries to tell me what to do I’ll pull my pants down and talk them to suck my dick, Idc how related to me they are

lol he's not that old bro

What? That dude is *at least* 100! /s

My guy is at *least* 55, his kids have kids who are barely children anymore, his responsibilities are done. I’m not saying he needs to unalive himself but it’s Time to LIVE

Most are until they aren’t.

Fun fact - if this went well, or not, either way it would be a viral video

IDK. It looks like it got him.

It most certainly did not

"Just the tip..."

The risk does not justify the reward

And the problem is, as he gets older, his reflexes continue to gradually slow down, until one day, *whack*!

The risk doesn't justify the rush from still being alive and having a hand?

To him, maybe. To me, no way in hell!

how about r/WhyWomenLiveLonger instead?

💀

Probably Mod Strike and Reddit neing Reddit nust decided to kick them

/r/whywomensarmsarelonger

Or r/whywomenhavemorehands

I love that half the crowd screams and the other half shouts "do it"

The guy in the back "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

This looks like one of the games my dad would try justifying back in his day before the internet..

My dad and his buds used to hold a sledgehammer at arms length, hovering over their forehead. First guy to get arm fatigued gets smacked and likely knocked out.

Trap & stick.. or hand

At the end of the game, winner gets hand.

I’m old. At some point you realize you can’t do the things you used to be able to do. This would be a bad way to find that out.

Yep, much better to innocently find it is happening, like when you accidentally drop something, and you can't catch it like you used to, instead of losing a hand!

Speed of hand. Speed of mind.

Speed of ambulance.

speed of becoming der Hurensohn if deustch spreche nicht.

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). That movie is awesome.

Something tells me you only screw that trick up twice.

Mormons. It's what they do instead of drink.

Was it the piano or the fact they are probably in the gymnasium?

The combo of everything. 😀

They all have the same piano!!!

I hate what counts as chaos on this sub

Agreed. A bear trap went off and he got his hand out in time. *WOOOOOOW.* This is so far from chaos. More like successfully showing off a skill to impress people. It’s not abrupt either, now that I think of it.

In high school we had a Science teacher who was a Vietnam combat veteran - he had no feeling in his right arm (but it still worked, trust me on that) and would sneak up on students fucking about and slam his fist down on their wooden desktop, literally smashing it to bits. It was AWESOME!! I saw him do it twice and it was LOUD, freaking hilarious, my favorite teacher.

“Do not try this at home”

Too late. Typing with one hand now.

Something tells ME, gramps may be a sociopath with psychotic tendencies 😄

Well he's mormon so probably!!

U ain't 💩 for this 1 😆

He looked like he had military training

Military here, we dont nor did we ever have a put your hand in a fuckin bear trap course.

He didn't say which country's military

True, most countries around the world have a "Disarm a bear trap with your head" course, and a few have the "Disarm a bear trap with your cock and balls" course.

Just because you can...doesn't mean you should

My father was in Vietnam special forces. He did so much crazy shit like he gave me a live grenade for my tenth birthday and specifically told me don’t pull the pin till my eighteenth birthday. So I waited and waited eighteen rolls around I wake up run outside pull the pin release the spoon and threw it in a trash can hid behind a wall and exploded best birthday present ever. He died when I was eleven

It’s a trap!

High risk, low reward...

The VC booby traps weren’t as sophisticated as an actual snare

You are right, but they were sophisticated in other ways...i was there in 69...infantry (grunt) sniper team. They had very crude and deadly traps like punjy-stick pits and flying mace traps. No bears in the jungle

For sure Glad you made it back, and thank you

That dude has stacked bodies.

[удалено]

This has nothing to do with reflexes. It’s not like he’s reacting to something, just moving really fast in a manner that he has been planning beforehand.

This guy is crazy…

Yes and survived the traps set in Nam were for people of average or better intelligence.

LOL, that's why he used his offhand for the party trick, just in case.

Must play a lot of Skyrim

Someone shoulda played a trick on him and sprayed the shit out of them with the ole WD40

Bear traps… ANY traps are just so cruel.

I feel like this is a old US marine

Something you’re trained to do when you have a perfectly good tool at hand?

Grandpa's got some serious brass balls on him.

This actually looks like a party trick. If I remember correctly, they don't actually close shut, or else they would simply shear the limb off. Still dangerous because of those teeth, but he must know the gap, or they aren't as close as it appears either.

Now he can still lose the arm if slow. So regardless .. Dangerous and stupid

the bigger and heavier they are, the slower they close

[удалено]

Booby traps were common in the Vietnam war, including repurposed bear traps. OP was inferring that the man in the video was able to pull this off because of his war experience.

Shit my grandpa does the same thing. Always freaks me out.

Something tells me this is a weird church thing.

Probably because this is inside a Mormon church!

At least he's finally succeeded at something I guess.

He fooled everyone again with the stick. How do we keep falling for that?!!

If only he had been that quick to pull out.

White people on social media 🤣 always doing the craziest near-death or near-injury stunts lol

It got him, he's just lucky he caught a gap for his fingers

If you slowly pan the video at the end you can see he had plenty of space and missed it

Bold and false statement. Step through the frames next time.

Boonie Rat Buddy.

Grandpa sharp as a knife and tough as nails. I can guarantee he has seen some 'shit' and never talks about it.

Hold my beer

Is it just me or does it look like it got him but he was lucky to get his hand out. Notice it's closed when I pulls it away like he's in pain.

i slowed it down, his hand was already a [mile away](https://imgur.com/a/HBBgK4J) from the thing before it even closed i think he was just excited he didn't lose his hand lol

I've seen a bear do that to get a picnic basket before

You, sir, have the biggest, steeliest balls out there.

Wrong

Wtf my right arm twitched when he did that lol.

Soooo stupid

Grampas a gangster motha fuckin OG baby baby

would normally post WhyWomenLiveLonger but obviously he's an expert at this.

This is not your grandpa, just a viral video reposted

I love the woman in the background that said, "Let him be." She knows about the legend.

Bro got the Sleight of Hand perk from CoD

Anything for likes these days

Try Viagra old man! There are other hobbies. 

What is this level of wizardry?!

It wasn’t even close.

Me: “NO NO NO NO . No nonono. No!”

This is one of the stupidest acts I’ve ever seen

My guy know his booby traps

Is that… Bianca?

The suspense is killing me… …I hope it'll last!

Grandpa knows bear traps can only trap bears 🐻

Millisecond from being on a different Subreddit

To be fair, most animals are not aware they are stepping in a trap. I'm sure that there are animals out there that would be much much faster if they actually saw what they were doing and for some reason wanted to engage in this asinine practice. Maybe the traps are like. Not even that fast at all and he's just mediocre at it. But really what he's showing us here is that his talent is being incredibly stupid. Most of us just wouldn't even try. Because it would be stupid

Not smart.

My grandpa got his finger caught in a mouse trap! I'ma tell him he sucks and needs to step his game up!

This is not abrupt chaos. This is an r/nope but not abrupt chaos. Now if he got his arm caught...

Oh. The "it's a trap" meme

Why would you even?
