We all are meant to die at one point in our lives, but there are some people who tell death to the face “No sir! Not today”. The video shows the story of eight spectacular people who just refused to die, and showed the will power of a human being to want to survive.

April 26th, 2003: avid outdoorsman Aron Ralston is hiking by himself in Blue John Canyon, Utah when a boulder comes loose & lands on his right hand, causing it get to stuck between the boulder & the canyon wall. The boulder weighed an estimated 800 pounds so any attempt at moving it proved useless. Furthermore, Ralston had not informed anyone of his trip, so no one would even know where to begin searching for him if he went missing. He tried many different ways to free his arm over the course of four days, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn't until the fifth day that he ran out of food & water & resorted to drinking his own urine. Assuming he was going to die, Ralston carved his name & date of birth into the canyon wall then used a video camera he had brought to record his goodbyes to family & friends.

Then he had an idea. He figured that by breaking the bones in his forearm, he could then use his knives—which were not sharp enough to amputate his hand otherwise—to cut off part of his own arm & free himself. And that’s exactly what he did. It took him an hour to perform this bloody procedure, but he successfully managed to amputate part of his arm in order to escape from the boulder. He then rappelled down the rest of the canyon, where he stumbled upon a family of hikers who gave him food & water while they sought help. Ralston lost nearly 40 pounds during the entire ordeal, including a great deal of blood. It's believed that had he cut off his arm earlier, he would've bled to death and had he waited any longer, he would have died in the canyon.

Ralston went on to write a book about this entire experience called Between a Rock and a Hard Place & was the subject of the feature film 127 hours, starring James Franco. Ralston has since continued to climb mountains with the use of a prosthetic arm.
