Waist down, not neck. He drives his own modified van with hand controls. He dived head first into the shallow end of the Harvard pool when he was in med school and damaged his spine. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I remember Trump said something on the campaign trail that some people interpreted as a swipe at his disability. I was shocked to find out that he was in a wheelchair... he was always just a talking head on TV, how was I supposed to know? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Neck down, all sources say. The President is a fink. |

He moves his arms on Fox and there is video of him driving with hand controls. Go to 2:17 in this video, he's driving: (he moves his arms a lot if you watch the whole video) If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | Huge Tony Bourdain fan, seen every ep of No Reservations 5 times. Can't believe he hanged himself. He was totally devoted to his 11 year old daughter, she was the light of his life. He was devoted to her. He announced big plans in 2015 to open Bourdain Market in NYC at Pier 57. He had millions invested and it was cancelled 6 months ago. He had his whole future set on the this place. “Yes, it is a for-profit business. Yes, it is his legacy for New York. Yes, it is probably what he will retire on." Having it cancelled had to devastate him. It was going to be a world class giant marketplace that bore his name well into the future. He thought doing TV was a stupid way to make living, he found it easy and effortless so he had no respect for it. The market was going to be his legacy. I gotta say, Tony, there is no forgiveness for what you've done to your daughter. You adored her and doted on her and now you've ruined the rest of her life. Way to go jackass, much as I liked your TV shows, any respect I had for you has been wiped out. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Hands and arms. He often gestures with his arms on Fox, and moves his whole body to different positions. I've seen him on a keyboard, can't do that if you can't move your arms. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Both you and Flea are correct. Depending on which bone is broken in the neck C1, C2.... C7.... and if the spinal cord is destroyed there or some lesser injury will determine your disability level. He was likely a C6 or C7 injury and had limited use of his arms, not no use. But it is a VERY hard life. As far as Bourdain, I too can't fathom suicide when you have an 11 year old. |

One of my best friends recently dove head first into the shallow end of my pool. He came up a bloody mess but no serious damages. All he needed was a few stitches. He was very fortunate. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

More than a few people have gotten spinal injuries that way. All public pools have to have markers for footage, just for that reason. Reminds me, all motels, some year or other did away with the diving boards. Probably due to potential lawsuits no doubt. I used to look forward to the diving boards when I was a kid when my family stopped at a motel. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
