Hell yeah little buddy! Those falls looked hard as hell! You're an inspiration :)
Sluggingforward
He probably falls the most on his favorite days. glad he had an awesome time
BannedAgainAndAgainAndAgain
TheHeroImgurNeeds
Did he fall like that the entire marathon?.... Nope... He used his wheels for all of it but the last 50ft. Fucking cheater.
TheBestRussian
He has spasticity in his legs. Spasticity worsens with excitement. He's excited at the finish and is rushing, so his legs are locking up.

It takes a mean son of a bitch to keep us from seeing the finish like that. I like it.

So, every other disabled person who doesn't accomplish things like this isn't doing enough? Cool.

It does not matter how many times you fall, so long as you keep getting back up.

I laughed my ass off. With him. Because he fucking did it. He set out to do something and he fucking did it, despite the hardships.
Loadie25
Me too! Cute kid but yep still laughed too when he fell, twice!
richincleve
I think a lot of us will be right there with you.
SustituteCipher
"Inspiring" is a word with a meaning. I am disabled and I can't stand being called "inspiring" - what exactly has he inspired you to do?
fatfury
CRIPPLE FFIIIAAGGHHTT
StitchesAreMyJam
I guess some people might feel if he can finish a triathalon they might be able to too? I didn't feel very inspired but good on him.
WittyCleverUsername
In this case, it's that he completed a triathlon. Disability or not, I can't do that. perhaps inspired me to go on a short walk outdoors..
brainplay
Because overcoming any large challenge is awesome. If it wasn't there would be a lot fewer movies out there.
mamabarry
As a triathlete, he commands even more awe for pushing the limits of his disability. Disability all on its lonesome is not inspiring.
Grrfield
Looks like this backfired on ya. Hot damn.
brainplay
I'm inspired by heavily disabled people overcoming their challenges. I'm not inspired by disabled fat fucks in Walmart scooters.

c0smicj0ker
For a lot of people seeing someone who doesn't let their own obstacles (whatever they may be) prevent them from doing what they want to do
c0smicj0ker
Is really inspiring. It doesn't matter if said person is handicapped physically, mentally, or has been through an experience that may
c0smicj0ker
Otherwise hold a lot of people back. It's "inspiring" because i think everyone can recognize that not all people can do that. And inspires
c0smicj0ker
Them to not let whatever they personally feel may holds them back do that. I don't think it's meant to be offensive at all.

If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.... when you get knocked down you gotta get back up.... oh wait...... wrong song

I get up, I fall, I get up again! Alternatively: I fall, I get up, I fall again.

Did he literally do a full triathalon? All 32 some miles?

I hope he didn't do the whole triathlon like that.

i rocked out to chumbawumba in the 90s but that song was pretty bad looking back on it
Cmycherrytree
I love how the dad let's him fall and get back up on his own. That's parenting done right.
Kingduckky
The kid asked his dad to let him run the rest of it
Kaine999
All I know is that kid runs better than I do.
sightlesslion
Fuck yes - still I am not crying damn it - it's raining
Cmycherrytree
Raining here too.
ishouldhavethoughtofthisusername
Bingo! My son has CP. he's 4 but LOVES to run . So this scares me. At least I can do the triathlon at a slow pace :)
Cmycherrytree
Just remember to do him the favor of picking himself up when he falls. He can do it. He is stronger than you want to think. Be awesome.
Cmycherrytree
You can tell the kid in the video said " I want to do it myself." and dad obliged.
Kingduckky
I dont wanna get up

WHY DONT WE GET THE FINISH!!??
fluhatinrapper
Did he literally do a full triathalon? All 32 some miles?
LaughOrDieTrying
A full is 2miles swim, 100 miles bike, 26.2 mile run. So....
Everyothernamewastaken
that's the Iron Man distance. Technically what most people consider a "full" is the Olympic distance. 750m swim, 40k bike , 10k run.
Everyothernamewastaken
or... .46 freedom units swim, 24.85 freedom units bike, 6.22 freedom units run
imagurk
Because he took too long, what with all the terrible pausies.
Existentiallyupyourass
ahhhh hahaha clever
SidewaysPedro
Because it would be far too inspirational, and the next thing all us Imgurians are out doing triathlons and no-ones on Imgur anymore!!!

Fall down seven times, get up eight

mollison
That's always confused me. Don't you just need to get up seven? Like what are you getting up from the eighth time if you only fell seven?
nigglemaster
I was le tired so I had a nap.
jimwormmaster
Zen fire our sheet!
imagurk
It's like turning it up to 11 when the knob only goes to 10. It says falling down is okay, as long as you get up so hard it counts extra.
NIPPLEHEAD69
They must count when you wake up in the morning..
automaticallymoderated
You had to stand up before you could fall down... I think..?
ukarage
So ... why standing up if it's for falling down. Your instruction aren't clear enough.
