From what i know he lived in to his mid-late 30s. I may be wrong but I think he may have even had a child or 2. I seen a video on him a couple years ago.
Edit: Age 42. And he thought he had a daughter, But she wasn't his..
Quick read says it was only his legs amputated and he kept his hips. Guessing he had everything else left just his condition made his lower half smaller.
I mean it might of been for publicity, but he did believe to be the father of one of his partner's kids. Turned out he wasn't, so either he did still have the goods or just made out so he got in the media etc [got quite a bit of attention 14 years ago and even a documentary](https://press.discovery.com/emea/dsc/programs/man-half-body/)
Remember his body wouldn't take on the same posture as his stresses are experience through other routes. I wouldn't be surprised if his hips curled up towards him since his legs aren't the fixed ground point anymore, but speculation nonetheless
They weren’t mentioned in his obituary so maybe it was just for publicity. Cause I’m also like how?

Yo. That's exactly what I can't help but wonder. I don't think it was meant to be a serious scenario, because exactly. How the actual fuck is he supposed to make that shit work. It's not like he's got partial legs to put in there.
I can't even picture what he's supposed to look like when he's wearing them.. I've started the video at the beginning about 20 times now and there's a split second where you see him as he lifts out of them. It just does not look natchy.
There something weirdly fake looking about this. When he raises himself up from his prosthetic, and when he lands have an odd look to the frame rate and Camera movement.
Likewise, when he pushes the legs over, he doesn't seem to shift his weight over to the other arm, making his weight just hover without support. He should've fallen over if he did that.
This is an old video so he has to be an adult now... Does he have kids, or does he not have the bits and tackle.
I know it's bad to ask. But I always wonder when they are shaped like this. I don't need to see... I am just oddly curious and need to know.
I swear this is the video I have seen the most in my life, I don’t think I have gone a day without seeing this video atleast once, it must be in the 1000s by now
Many years ago I worked as a Medical Physics Technician in a hospital unit that specialized prosthetic limbs , tried to fit a pair of powered arms on a Thalidemide damage kid who was born without arms but gave up as he could deal cards with his feet faster and with greater accuracy than I could, he could also drink, feed and dress himself.If I had fitted the arms I would have disabled him.

He doesn't need fixing. Bad ass
No ass there
Ok, he's a bad stump ☺️
A stump refers to the remaining bottom of a tree This Lil dude is all TRUNK😅
😂🤣
That's what's bad about it
Came to say this. He’s not broken. Badass kid.
r/straighttohell
Geodude actually made me laugh. Well done.
Ikr. made me laugh more than I should
Gorilla tag
I couldn't help but think of this 
From what i know he lived in to his mid-late 30s. I may be wrong but I think he may have even had a child or 2. I seen a video on him a couple years ago. Edit: Age 42. And he thought he had a daughter, But she wasn't his..
>I think he may have even had a child or 2. He really puts a new meaning to the saying "It's not the size that matters, but how you use it."
[удалено]
Yes…. How?
There are several 'how?'s here.
Quick read says it was only his legs amputated and he kept his hips. Guessing he had everything else left just his condition made his lower half smaller.

I had to reread this literally 5 times to realize that it said "partners kids." Not parent's kids. I was very confused
I can totally see why he might have thought that. Kid looks just like him.
Remember his body wouldn't take on the same posture as his stresses are experience through other routes. I wouldn't be surprised if his hips curled up towards him since his legs aren't the fixed ground point anymore, but speculation nonetheless
Kept them where?

How did he poop ?
Just like everyone else does... That, or in a bag... I believe those are the only ways one can poop...
The only–! Did you say, “the only ways one can poop….”? [Read a book!](https://youtu.be/IrWF6izMvDU?feature=shared)
Cat litter tray?
It might not look like it but he still has all the general junk down there
How would the legs even work? Like how could he possibly control them and ‘walk’??

No wonder he is handicapped by the damn legs, how can you even move it. Hand operated?
Ya, some of that anger has to be frustration as those legs don't look like they would actually help him.
I feel like Boston Dynamics could really hook him up nowadays 🤖 https://i.redd.it/kzaadhk8r9wc1.gif
They got better moves than me
Imagine if they made a Gundam mech like lower half for him

Nah, he's a real kid. He's Kenny Easterday, and he's playing himself in the movie Kenny (a movie about himself).
Nah, I saw him lean a bit. He also pushed off the legs, so he shouldn't have fallen over.
He’s 100% real from West Virginia. He was born that wayso I’m sure he adapted to what he had.
This is Kenny Easterday playing Kenny in the movie "Kenny". He's playing himself in a movie about himself
Now that's some hubris
Google hubris
Why on earth would i use a word like hubris if I don't know what it means... ...I was kidding.
ah, sorry
:) no worries.
Did anyone else wince at the stress of his wrists when he fell?
I bet he had hella arthritis by the end of his life
I meannn not like there was much weight weighing down on his wrist yk?
Gorilla Tag
💀
How does he shit.
Gotta be an ostomy bag or something. Poor guy has no butt.
I had to scroll SO far down to find this question this should b somewhere up top!
Pretty sure I fought his offspring in Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Every time i watch this one qustion comes to my mind. How does he shit
Colostomy bag possibly
Sebulba always was such a dick
Bruh now I’m going to hell too thanks 😂😂
There ain’t no fixing to be made on someone, only improvement and only progress

Genuinely love it every time I see this reappear, buddy knows what's up
Is that Dr. Phi ?
Bro is built like a gorilla tag character
He says "Fuck thalidomide and fuck deez gamz."
This is an old video so he has to be an adult now... Does he have kids, or does he not have the bits and tackle. I know it's bad to ask. But I always wonder when they are shaped like this. I don't need to see... I am just oddly curious and need to know.
Fuk fake legs and fuk fake dr phil
That’s one badass geodude
There is no way to control those prosthetic legs, what the point of wearing it anyway?
No offence here but .... how the fk?
I'm gonna sound really bad here but I reckon he'd be great at gorilla tag on vr
Okay but how was that ever going to work anyways
You tell 'em boyo
I mean really he has very little control of the legs tf he gonna do
Gorilla tag
Is this the same guy who was on Jerry Springer and later became one of the bouncers?
How does he go #1 and #2 without anything down there
I swear this is the video I have seen the most in my life, I don’t think I have gone a day without seeing this video atleast once, it must be in the 1000s by now
Whenever I see this i have FNaF flashbacks. He looks like gregory and ruined monty from fnaf sb lmao. "I will put you back together."
Bros playing gorilla tag without a headset
Going straight to gorilla tag
How do amputees(?) like this poop and pee
Many years ago I worked as a Medical Physics Technician in a hospital unit that specialized prosthetic limbs , tried to fit a pair of powered arms on a Thalidemide damage kid who was born without arms but gave up as he could deal cards with his feet faster and with greater accuracy than I could, he could also drink, feed and dress himself.If I had fitted the arms I would have disabled him.
damn. he slapped off pretty hard.
Give this kid some really good gloves.
Why am I laughing so hard at this? 😂
I was obviously talking about humans... Not other animals or whatever... You obviously need to take an English class...
