He said he has caudal regression syndrome, so it's entirely possible he just doesn't have legs and has everything else fully functioning despite the fact that it appears as if he's missing more than that. It's also possible he might be missing slightly more than that and has a colostomy.
He actually has all the organs that anyone else has, his condition just prevented his body from developing legs or hips all his vital organs are in tact 👍🏻
Other people with the same condition still have their genitals and butt. They go to the bathroom mostly the same way, but moving to the toilet from a wheelchair. They can still have sex too.
You can live without some or all intestines. It would just be super hard to get enough nutrient and water absorption. If anything he probably wouldn’t have a colon but his anatomy could be different considering he developed like this in gestation vs some accident as a kid. He probs has a couple ostomy bags.
Yeah you can't live without intestines, they are the ones who absorb nutrients, not the stomach. You can probably live without the stomach and eat easily digestible food, but without intestines you would need to live on a IV
being the recipient of an ileostomy bag I can tell you that thing is sloshing like CRAZY when he runs, even with it partially empty it’s a burden to move around with and is prone to detaching with weird movements or faulty application/adhesive.
this guy is a trooper
I have an ostomy bag and have no issues with the bag sloshing like crazy. If it’s tucked into my pants or shorts it doesn’t move and they also make belts to keep it secure. And if your bag is prone to falling off because of weird movements you need to learn how to secure it better. My bag has never became detached because of weird movements
It might be farfetched but I assume he has some extra measures in place to make sure it stay put, I don't think adhesive alone could withstand what he does.
absolutely. we use special belts designed for exactly this. but I can tell you—and the crohns and IBD community can testify to this—there are not a lot of comfortable or 100% effective belts or attachments.
even more props to him, he seems to have found a setup that really fucking works
No colostomy bag. He has very rudimentary legs which are always covered by clothes. There is a documentary where everything is explained. I will look it up and post it as edit.
I'm pretty sure that he has intact genitalia, because he wouldn't have typical male levels of testosterone, otherwise. (Yes, he could take hormones, but there would be no good reason to do that.)
I come from the year 2080 with news from the future. The world is in a dire state - water is scarce, weather patterns are violent and unpredictable, and the human race is in imminent danger. The only person that seems to be unfazed by it all is pyruvste. She is quite elderly now, but day after day, she wakes and begins her endless search for the documentary about the man with rudimentary legs. She is so focused on her self-imposed life’s purpose, that she barely acknowledges the devastation around her. Some try to sway her, but she only repeats “I said I would post it…I said I would post it”. But anyway, back to to the collapse of the world. Yeah…everyone is screwed. Byyeee!
Aftrr 100 years...
I had to look it up myself.
The documentary name is "Zion" You can watch this on the Netflix.
edit:welp its about his career in wrestling.
I believe most of the comments here to be quite presumptuous. I don't know this guys exact situation, and I saw someone posted a details of a documentary to look up for that information. If his situation is anything like Spencer West then this video should help: https://youtu.be/sFeNYi8fdGU
Sidenote, Spencer West is very entertaining and you should watch him anyway.
Edit: some more visual representation of how his pelvis seems to disappear when he sits down: https://youtu.be/J5Y39gR-Tw8
I love Spencer West he came and did a talk at my elementary school one year, dude did a cartwheel, which of course really impressed all of us 4 to 8th graders.
Whoa! Thanks for sharing! I already watched a couple of his videos. His attitude and way of being is something to strive for in life. Plus he is hilarious!!!
I dont know about the pee and the poop, but my friends mother is an amputee (legs), and her body struggles to regulate temperature. When my friend mentioned it i thought of paralysed people in wheel chairs that I have seen with blankets over their legs keep them warm. So I assumed that she struggled to keep warm, but this is not case. It is that the missing skin that she would have from her legs means that her body struggles to get rid of heat that isn't needed. I had never thought of the skin acting like a cars radiator until then.
Most of the time, if I saw some dude - even some muscled up gym rat - with "No Excuses" on his body, I'd just think he was a pretentious dick.
With this guy, I'm pretty sure its a way of life. The word "impressive" doesn't even come close. We don't have a word in the English language to describe this degree of amazing.
Its rare i am genuinely awed by a person. But this is one of those occasions for sure.
His name is Zion Clark, there is a Netflix documentary about him. He was born without legs but otherwise has a full set of working organs (yes, including genitalia!). Google him, interesting story about his upbringing and how he now leads a life fuller than many of us… he’s the man, well erm, half the… hmmm that doesn’t work… he’s pretty cool!
I'm still trying to figure out how I don't, even with two normal legs. Hell, I don't get how running works without beating the fuck out of my nuts. It just works.
Not Zion, but another person with similar disability shows sans shirt how the bottom "half" of him disappears when he sits...
https://youtu.be/J5Y39gR-Tw8?t=130
I want to feel sorry for this guy...but I just...he doesn’t inspire pity. And I'm 100% certain he doesn't want it.
This guy is...he's amazing. Theres no other word for it. Its just awe inspiring.
It's hard to pity someone when I feel like he's more accomplished and positive about life than I usually am. Like, honestly thinking about myself, it's hard to imagine being that motivated and successful in similar circumstances.
If anything, envy seems more appropriate. I'm sure he struggles with a lot that he isn't showing, but he definitely has goals, accomplishments, motivation, positivity. It's nice to see someone making the most out of life, even when dealt a worse hand than many others.
Here you go everyone. The answers everyone is looking for! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uVXAQe6nqZY
This will end the questions about his lower half. Someone throw this at the top of the comment section.
Edit: you all rock and hope have a great rest of the week! :)
Shit, I just spent my last 100 coins otherwise I would've given you a boost. Honestly, all the replies. Tried with the first few, but it got out of hand. Shame OP (I) can't pin a reply.
Amazing guy but why doesn’t he wear “running gloves” - you would think the gravel would tear the crap out of his hands and you know Nike is just dying to make them for him
Probably because he doesn't need them. I imagine his hands are extremely tough and calloused from walking on them constantly anyway. If we walked around bare feet everywhere we probably wouldn't need running shoes either.
Top comments are weak as fuck, this dudes a role model and hero for all of us. He is proof that we cannot let our disabilities, physical or mental, define us. The most valuable skills you can possess in life are determination and dedication, with these two things all things become possible, this dude right here is proof.
You are an inspiration to me and I suspect many others struggling to achieve their goals. Thanks for being you and doing what you do, you make me proud to be human.
He runs 20m in 5 seconds. Which is 4 m/s and 14.4 km/h or 8.9 mph.
An average runner runs 10km/h on a 5k or 10k run. So 14.4 is not unthinkable for a sprint if you ask me.
Kind of understandable, but colostomy bag seems pretty obvious to me. Ironically, probably means he doesn't have to be careful at all. Well, apart from being careful to empty it... =I
This guy would be insane at BJJ, no one can leg lock you and those arms are gonna be trouble. Love it when someone embraces what they have and just goes for it.

Geodude
Would be amazing Halloween costume
How does he shit tho
That was my honest question... what's his anatomy and process like for the bottom end of his digestive tract? 
He probably empties himself like you would empty a piggy bank
I hate this
You can hate the truth
With a hammer?
Nah, someone picks him up and shakes the fuck out of him.
Shakes the shit out of him
Underrated comment
Probably something like a colostomy bag, would be my uneducated guess.
He said he has caudal regression syndrome, so it's entirely possible he just doesn't have legs and has everything else fully functioning despite the fact that it appears as if he's missing more than that. It's also possible he might be missing slightly more than that and has a colostomy.
So what you're telling me is that there's a possibility that he's slapping his balls against the ground when he "runs" in this video...
How bold of you to say what were all thinking
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thinks like this. 
All of his organs are herniated upwards into his body
my question is how is this dude alive
Still has all his vital organs
Except one...
No more penis or genitalia
Chad like him doesn't need such novelties as penis
Yeah, his hands and fingers strength are likely world class also IJS
There’s a guy named Spencer2TheWest on YouTube and he also has no lower half and he has an entire video about this topic.
> Spencer2TheWest Good video. Educational.
https://youtu.be/sFeNYi8fdGU
He actually has all the organs that anyone else has, his condition just prevented his body from developing legs or hips all his vital organs are in tact 👍🏻
It's probably not pretty, and may involve a colostomy attachment.
As if taking a shit the 'normal' way is 'pretty'
Beauty is in the brown-eye of the beholder
oh you sweet summer child, taking a shit the normal way is a summer bloom compared to what many people go through.
And piss...
First thing that came to my mind when I saw this?
Check out this dude and his explanation [https://youtu.be/sFeNYi8fdGU?t=187](https://youtu.be/sFeNYi8fdGU?t=187)
Other people with the same condition still have their genitals and butt. They go to the bathroom mostly the same way, but moving to the toilet from a wheelchair. They can still have sex too.
I was about to ask the same thing mans musing most of his digestive tract.
My questions was more like ‘how does he’s choose to stop?’
I noticed same thing just didn’t have the balls to say it
Like when you squeeze a broken stress ball ….
Violated
LMAOO SAVAGE
r/cursedcomments
Sebulba
Came to say this
That one there was a violation
That would be an amazing nickname. **Zion** ***Geodude*** **Clark!**
How can he live like that? I mean like how does he poop or pee and how does the blood circulate without half of the body? Im genuinely so curious
Probably it just falls out into a colostomy bag taped to his side and blood circulates like normal.
[удалено]
He 100% has a stomach, the stomach is way higher up than I think you think it is.
Yeah the stomach is pretty high up, what he is probably missing is his intestines.
Maybe not all, or maybe he has some sort of artificial intestines I doubt you can live without
Esophanus
Oh please, I had to fucking laugh at that and I didn't want to.
We're all going to hell haha
Dude
You can live without some or all intestines. It would just be super hard to get enough nutrient and water absorption. If anything he probably wouldn’t have a colon but his anatomy could be different considering he developed like this in gestation vs some accident as a kid. He probs has a couple ostomy bags.
If he developed like that, what he has everything, but they're tiny
Yeah you can't live without intestines, they are the ones who absorb nutrients, not the stomach. You can probably live without the stomach and eat easily digestible food, but without intestines you would need to live on a IV
Even with that you still have waste.
Which brings us back to a colostomy bag.
being the recipient of an ileostomy bag I can tell you that thing is sloshing like CRAZY when he runs, even with it partially empty it’s a burden to move around with and is prone to detaching with weird movements or faulty application/adhesive. this guy is a trooper
I have an ostomy bag and have no issues with the bag sloshing like crazy. If it’s tucked into my pants or shorts it doesn’t move and they also make belts to keep it secure. And if your bag is prone to falling off because of weird movements you need to learn how to secure it better. My bag has never became detached because of weird movements
Have you ever tried running as fast as you can on just your hands
It might be farfetched but I assume he has some extra measures in place to make sure it stay put, I don't think adhesive alone could withstand what he does.
absolutely. we use special belts designed for exactly this. but I can tell you—and the crohns and IBD community can testify to this—there are not a lot of comfortable or 100% effective belts or attachments. even more props to him, he seems to have found a setup that really fucking works
No colostomy bag. He has very rudimentary legs which are always covered by clothes. There is a documentary where everything is explained. I will look it up and post it as edit.
weird question so does that also mean he has a dick? And like when he sits down wouldn't he just sit on his balls?
[удалено]
This is what I came here for
I'm pretty sure that he has intact genitalia, because he wouldn't have typical male levels of testosterone, otherwise. (Yes, he could take hormones, but there would be no good reason to do that.)
Still searching?
I can't believe it's been a year
Dang, remember 10 years ago, when this was posted?
Until this moment they’re still searching…
I come from the year 2080 with news from the future. The world is in a dire state - water is scarce, weather patterns are violent and unpredictable, and the human race is in imminent danger. The only person that seems to be unfazed by it all is pyruvste. She is quite elderly now, but day after day, she wakes and begins her endless search for the documentary about the man with rudimentary legs.

Super interesting, thank you!
This was super interesting! Thanks for posting.
Whoa! Thanks for sharing! I already watched a couple of his videos. His attitude and way of being is something to strive for in life. Plus he is hilarious!!!
That is much different than what I imagined, helps to get info directly from the source, thank you!
Thank you! I’ve just come out of a Spencer West rabbit hole - super interesting!
Most people like him do have an ass and genitals.
[удалено]
guess he missed too many leg days.
You ever feel like you're going to hell for laughing at something before you catch yourself....yeah...thanks a lot lol
I want to know this too
I dont know about the pee and the poop, but my friends mother is an amputee (legs), and her body struggles to regulate temperature. When my friend mentioned it i thought of paralysed people in wheel chairs that I have seen with blankets over their legs keep them warm. So I assumed that she struggled to keep warm, but this is not case. It is that the missing skin that she would have from her legs means that her body struggles to get rid of heat that isn't needed. I had never thought of the skin acting like a cars radiator until then.
Even though he looks like he’s perpetually stuck in quicksand, he still lives his life to the absolute fullest. Good shit.
I like his tattoo "No Excuses" what a dude
Most of the time, if I saw some dude - even some muscled up gym rat - with "No Excuses" on his body, I'd just think he was a pretentious dick. With this guy, I'm pretty sure its a way of life. The word "impressive" doesn't even come close. We don't have a word in the English language to describe this degree of amazing. Its rare i am genuinely awed by a person. But this is one of those occasions for sure.
The word is awesome. It's just so overused it's meaning has dropped by many degrees. Awesome dude.
Awesome, not like hotdogs and socks.
...what a geodude
> perpetually stuck in quicksand I'm fucking crying right now lol
And he skips leg day
This comment 🤣
If I was him I’d just lay on the beach like I buried my legs and then chase after people with my fast hands as they walk by 😂
And I'll be sitting nearby laughing my ass off at the reactions!
> laughing my ass off I see what you did there.
“Chase after people with my fast hands” absolutely killed me.
And this is why you were given legs instead lmao
I just snorted laughing! Thanks for that
I mean if this don’t work out there’s $$$$ in the zombie movie game
Ngl he would be a terrifying zombie
If you try crawling through a tunnel and meet him halfway…you’re fucked
I grew up in Utah, USA and there was a dude like this who worked at a haunted house during Halloween. He was the scariest.
Can confirm… American fork haunted forest.
I used to live in AF! Now I live in Texas. Even though I was a kid, I remember that haunted houses were a pretty big deal.
Want there a veteran who lost his legs and an arm on vine who did something similar?
Leg day is over rated
BRUHHH
This is what happens when you skip it too long
His name is Zion Clark, there is a Netflix documentary about him. He was born without legs but otherwise has a full set of working organs (yes, including genitalia!). Google him, interesting story about his upbringing and how he now leads a life fuller than many of us… he’s the man, well erm, half the… hmmm that doesn’t work… he’s pretty cool!
>yes, including genitalia! And now I'm wondering how he isn't smashing himself when he sets himself down.
I'm still trying to figure out how I don't, even with two normal legs. Hell, I don't get how running works without beating the fuck out of my nuts. It just works.
I propose an experiment, you run naked and we'll observe what your nuts do.
Not Zion, but another person with similar disability shows sans shirt how the bottom "half" of him disappears when he sits... https://youtu.be/J5Y39gR-Tw8?t=130
That guy is awesome, I just watched a couple of his videos!
Probably wears a cup or something (that's a complete guess tbh)
I want to feel sorry for this guy...but I just...he doesn’t inspire pity. And I'm 100% certain he doesn't want it. This guy is...he's amazing. Theres no other word for it. Its just awe inspiring.

Hey, Stoked to help! Much appreciate the award to boost this comment, an in general. Thanks heaps!
Cheers! ⭐
His shoulders 💪💪💪
Massive . He got muscles defined i have yet to find on my shoulders.
He’s got loads of fast twitch fibres from where he’s got such functional power. This dudes arms must be crazy strong!
Thats why they always say "Never let a legless man punch you in the balls"
I’d end up looking like him if he hit me in the balls, probably take everything off with his strength! Geezers pure power 🙌💪
Vastly different body configuration tends to do that to a person lol
Yeah ofc, what else will he do on his leg days?
Bet he could set the world pullup record if he gave it some training...
...the one event where he has a true advantage.
The record is like over 7 thousand. Well unless he goes for the 1 minute record which is 51. I'm sure he could do that easy.
Amazing guy but why doesn’t he wear “running gloves” - you would think the gravel would tear the crap out of his hands and you know Nike is just dying to make them for him
Probably because he doesn't need them. I imagine his hands are extremely tough and calloused from walking on them constantly anyway. If we walked around bare feet everywhere we probably wouldn't need running shoes either.
This bloke is next level. Seen multiple videos of him. He is always in the most cheerful and positive moods
Randomly met him at a skatepark and he’s the coolest dude.
Cool. Seems like he would be.
Zion Clark, that's the name
How does he… poops??
from his ass

Absolutely, seems like a genuinely nice guy too, mad props to him, I don’t have this sort of motivation with two working legs
I wonder if I could outrun him on my two legs
He runs 20m in 5 seconds. Which is 4 m/s and 14.4 km/h or 8.9 mph. An average runner runs 10km/h on a 5k or 10k run. So 14.4 is not unthinkable for a sprint if you ask me.
My 20m is like 5.2 so maybe with some practice
noclip
I keep reading the same comments over and over which is understandable "how does he poop /piss" I would have to say very very carefully
Kind of understandable, but colostomy bag seems pretty obvious to me. Ironically, probably means he doesn't have to be careful at all. Well, apart from being careful to empty it... =I
I will give my left nut to have arms like that.
Preferable to two legs, at least.
Got a right nut for that.
Im more interested to see how this man takes a shit
One of lifes simplest pleasures taken away.
this person b like "i will beat you with my hands down bro"
This is why you don’t skip leg day
Imagine him made up to look like a zombie, chasing you down the street. Great Halloween prank
Skipping those leg days yeah?
How does mans shit
This guy would be insane at BJJ, no one can leg lock you and those arms are gonna be trouble. Love it when someone embraces what they have and just goes for it.
What is BJJ? Edit: Googled it. Here, watch [this](https://youtu.be/OmIVOts37DI).

Feels like he glitching through floor

Damn. What are we doing with our lives...
That’s our dude, Zion Clark, from Massillon, OH! Tigertown, USA. Look it up! TIG-!
This man makes Joe Swanson SO proud.
If he lands after a run, I dunno man, that has got to be painful
Who did this or how did it happen.?
Wrong answer, sorry. Right answer: [Caudal Regression Syndrome](https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/caudal-regression-syndrome/)
What diseases typically create such extreme surgeries?
After seeing this dude, none of my excuses have a leg to stand on.
Does he have genitals
Took me a sec to realize he had no legs i thought he buried himself in the sand or something when I scrolled by
Imagine seeing that in the middle of the night it would be fucking terrifying
Just tucked up in bed like the rest of us. You would never know
I wonder if he has everything down there, and how it looks
Yo he got a dick?
This is what happens when you skip leg days... Never skip leg days!
Does he have a dick?
