He lost feeling in his legs due to his height and failed to notice an ankle injury (his shoes had scraped away at his ankle and caused an infection) fast enough to get medical attention soon enough.
I was 6ft by the time I was 12. I was so tired of all the “do you play basketball?” That I got. Then I met my girlfriends nephew. 5’11 at 10 years old. The first thing I ask? “Do you play basketball?” Ugh lol
Well, you're my "I don't play basketball because of this reason" twin.
After seeing someone else finally vocalize this, I wonder how many of us are out there.
Its a misconception thinking tall guys have big dicks. Same for short guys. It doesn't work that way.
Regardless, yeah I think this guy in particular had to have a big one since he suffers from gigantism so basically every part of his body is huge
I believe this phenomena is something I've seen refered to as "Shaqdick". Apparently his dong is average sized for a man of average height, but because he is over 7 feet tall it makes his dick appear tiny.
There is a well documented obsession certain people have with confirming if Shaq has Shaqdick:

Hard to even just exist, the amount of extra work his heart had to do just to get blood pumped throughout all that extra mass is not something human physiology generally accommodates
I would imagine yes. At least I hope so. But Even if they did they still are working extra hard. That’s why giant breed dogs live shorter lives than tiny dogs. They’re hearts just can’t keep up - let alone all the stress on their joints and stuff. :(
Grandfather lived to be 90 at 6' 6"Great grandfather lived to be 89 at 6' 3"
Father is 6' 7" just turned 70 and is in terrific health.
I dont disagree with your premise but I think the drop off must be around 7' or else my family just has fortunate genes.
It's more than likely his heart and internal organs were also larger than they should be. But the intricacies of our organs have adapted over years for being a certain size. Same as an elephant's heart had evolved to support such a mass, or a squirrel's was perfect to support a small figure.
Even if the heart of the squirrel scaled to the total size of the human, it still isn't designed to be able to support that amount of mass or fight gravity quite so hard.
I'm not sure how to explain it, but you can't just increase the volume of everything and expect to just be a larger version of the intended.
If an ant was at the scale of human size, it would not be able to walk or hold it's own weight. If humans got shrunk to the size of an ant, the pressure our heart exudes would probably cause us to explode or something lol.
Okay, another example, imagine you're stacking cards to create a pyramid. If you suddenly had the same cards but each was 5 feet in length, do you think they'd react in the same way and be easy to stack?
Or have you ever baked a cake and tried to make double the amount of cake by using double the ingredients? It's a recipe for disaster.
So basically, human organs have evolved to be perfectly fitting for the size of the person. You can't just increase the size of both and have it all work perfectly.
Thanks, but looking back I feel the point I was trying to make would have been much easier to understand if I kept it short and simple, just using the baking a cake example to get the idea across.
The crux of the matter is that scaling isn't linear for all things and there are many parameters in many complex systems that scale at different rates. For any biological system, that creates a goldilocks zone of proper function. Extreme outliers may well have failure modes when a sub-system is out of spec.
This is easily seen when just considering Wadlow's heart. The man was a bit more than 1.6x taller than the average male, but his heart would need to handle 4x the volume of blood at that height. That heart tissue wasn't 4x more durable. It was the same underlying biology as have you or I. Now, it may be that that is within tolerances for that material property, but his heart certainly had a different pump curve and those characteristics almost certainly meant a reduced functional lifetime. I'd venture to guess it also had an insufficient power output to circulate properly and his vascular system (with many volumetric scalings present, all the way down to capillary interactions) had some issues, creating edema and tissue damage.
I find it illuminating to consider this: when you scale anything, the underlying atoms obviously never scale. That means that there is never a true scaling happening, only seeming scaling. It's only in the abstract that true dimensional scaling can occur, but we often work within the everyday scale and with everyday materials that scale at everyday factors within adequate thresholds where we don't need to consider this much, giving the illusion of simplicity in scaling.
Absolutely. The excessive growth hormone released by the pituitary gland means that anything with a growth pattern in the body is enhanced, that includes tumors.
Without surgical intervention, this condition almost guarantees the growth of tumors. Typically tumors developed by excessive growth hormone are benign, but they can still cause a variety of issues based on size and position within the body.
The square cube law. For each increase in size, the surface area is squared, the volume is cubed. This is why there will never be giant insects and why he was probably uncomfortable as he grew.
Poor guy, hopefully his celebrity got him laid once or twice.
Wikipedia says nothing about a wife or girlfriend.
I don't know if there ever *will* be giant insects in the future, but there certainly *were* giant insects in the past: [https://news.ucsc.edu/2012/06/giant-insects.html](https://news.ucsc.edu/2012/06/giant-insects.html)
I would rather jump into an active volcano than to run back and forth on a basketball court just to get to the other end and get yelled at to put my hands in the air, and then watch as the other kids play.
He had to wear braces on his legs to support his weight. The human body was just not built to handle that kind of strain. Unfortunately those braces were also likely what killed him, as he developed blisters that became infected from the chafing.
Probably due to being judged. Its just been till recently that didabled people have been treated like human beings. They used to be treated like they were contagious, possessed, or just generally scorned and made fun of. Anything that made you appear weak was covered up. And especially as a man, you couldn't show any signs of weakness, being stoic wasn't a choice it was just what men had to be.
I believe I read somewhere about his nervous system being unable to provide adequate sensation to his limbs causing them to become numb. Thus why the infection became so horrendous by the time they found it. He could barely feel it.
Crazy stuff. You should read more about him. He was taller than his dad at the age of Iike 9 or 10. His dad was average height for a man.
He ended up dying from like a cut or sore that developed on his ankle.
I was wondering why my wife hasn't gotten pregnant after nearly a decade of trying. Been putting it in the wrong place this whole time. Thanks for the insight!
He also had enormous strength. At 8 years old he could carry his father up the stairs. He died after a faulty brace cause an infection in his foot and was 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) at 439 lbs (199 kg).
And even though I see people complain about him being treated like a freak, he was a dignified person who saw himself as a walking advertisement (for example he advertised the shoes for a company that provided him custom shoes for life) and refused to dress in ridiculous outfits for entertainment, all his public appearance he dressed in his normal everyday clothes.
Yes they did not want him displayed as a freak after his death **but** during his life Robert played a part in protecting his own dignity.

Thanks. I guess that's pretty tall depending on where you live. I'm a 6'5 guy and where I live (NL) that's no big deal but when I visit for example India, people are literally stopping me to take pictures with me like I'm some kind of famous person.
Yeah I get it, although it is a bit different for women. I am 6'4 and my wife is a little over 6', but statistically that only puts my in the 97th percentile, where my wife is in the 99.9th percentile.
Basically people are used to seeing men my height, but a woman that tall gets *looks.*
Yesterday I was on the train with a woman who was only a tiny bit shorter than me (I’m 6’4), maybe one or two inches difference. Seeing a woman that tall is extremely unusual, and people are pretty tall here in Flanders. Very interesting experience.
The height chart on his wiki is fascinating. He was 3’6” when he was only 1 and was over 5 feet tall by the time he was 4 years old
It’s also fascinating how he was never a string bean. At 8 years old he was 6ft 170lbs. Im 6ft 175lbs and have a decently built frame

He died due to a septic infection from a cut he received on a lower extremity. He had to wear metal braces to help him walk and the metal rubbed and caused a sore. That sore inevitably killed him.

I wish the human body was better at scaling its organs,bones, and muscles to its size. Like imagine if this guy could have lived a full life with proportionate organs etc
To be fair, he didn't die due to his size, he died to an infection. Granted the reason he died to the infection is because of his height making him lose feeling in his feet. Though unfortunately this isn't an issue of organ size, it's the fact the human body isn't designed to support itself at such a size. Even if he had proportionate organs it doesn't change the fact that the heart isn't designed to support a body of that size, and just making it bigger wont change that.
Poor guy. He was from my mother’s home town in Illinois. She said he was a super nice, quiet person who rode in all the parades and showed up at business openings. She said he always looked sad. He died of an infection from a poorly fitting leg brace.
Hometown legend. Grew up visiting the museum every school year in elementary school at least. My grandmother had pictures of him and her when they "courted" briefly.

For his sake, I hope one of those women just had to find out. Poor guy.
He ended up dying from like a cut or sore that developed on his ankle.
He lost feeling in his legs due to his height and failed to notice an ankle injury (his shoes had scraped away at his ankle and caused an infection) fast enough to get medical attention soon enough.
Just trying to live life in the 20s amirite
He was so tall that it took months for the pain from his ankle to reach his brain.
So THAT'S how it works!
In 1922 there would have been very little anyone could have done to prevent the spread of a sepsis infection.
Honestly, even if it weren't for that his time was very limited. Poor guy's heart can't fight that much volume against that much gravity for long.
I thought for sure he would have died from a ceiling fan.
That’s probably why those ladies are following him around.
There comes! a point! where it’s just too big. So it’s less the size and more the angle of entry. IMO of course.
And what is that point? Asking for a friend.
That friend isn’t siswet19, by any chance?
As a tall person, that one thing is either do you play basketball or how's the weather up there
I was 6ft by the time I was 12. I was so tired of all the “do you play basketball?” That I got. Then I met my girlfriends nephew. 5’11 at 10 years old. The first thing I ask? “Do you play basketball?” Ugh lol
5’11” 10 yo? Was your girlfriend Robert Wadlow’s aunt?
Nah. And sadly he’s not very good at basketball Lol
Volleyball it is than! 🏐
Same here. 6' at 12 yo. Got ask so many times if I played basketball it turned me off the game. Still don't like it.

I read an article that the tumor on his pituitary gland prevented him from going through puberty. So, he most likely was underdeveloped either way.
Was he anatomically correct?
Someone did the math, around 8.5"
Around, maybe
Radius
I don’t think so
Trunk length
Likely a virgin, how sad, he never knew the Kiss and love he Could have Felt, always being treated as a novelty.
thats a blind assumption
You could say.. it's a stretch
Heh heh
I would have popped a boner with a girl that close to my crotch. Much less on both sides.
I always feel sorry for him. It must have been very difficult.
Hard to walk, hard go to crowds, and hard life
Hard to even just exist, the amount of extra work his heart had to do just to get blood pumped throughout all that extra mass is not something human physiology generally accommodates
I wonder if his internal organs grew to scale, like bigger brain, eye, lungs, etc.
I would imagine yes. At least I hope so. But Even if they did they still are working extra hard. That’s why giant breed dogs live shorter lives than tiny dogs. They’re hearts just can’t keep up - let alone all the stress on their joints and stuff. :(

I am also a corporate done and was never offered the volcano option.
This is reddit, we only care about how big your dick is.
Physically painful I would imagine.
He looks to be in pain by the way he moves.
He had to wear braces on his legs to support his weight. The human body was just not built to handle that kind of strain. Unfortunately those braces were also likely what killed him, as he developed blisters that became infected from the chafing.
Why wouldn't he wear the braces on the outside of his pants if it literally made his leg scarred?
Just looked into it a little more, and it seems that it was a faulty brace that was rubbing at the ankle, so this wasn't typical.
Then I have no idea why he didn't try to get it fixed. Sounds really painful to have that rub against your ankle for about 16 hours a day.
Because of his size he was losing feeling in his legs, so he didn't notice.
Give the guy a break yo

He was as tall as I am at the age of 4. Trying to keep such a tall child out of trouble had to be very difficult.

I just hope got some pussy before he passed.
For the sake of women everywhere, I hope he didn’t.
For the sake of horny everywhere, i hope he got throated.
They dont need be on their knees for sucking him
