Comedian Paralyzed After Falling Through Skylight on a Date

Jason Sáenz from California survived a terrible accident while on a date. He and his date, Erin, were on his rooftop to see the Hollywood sign. They leaned on a skylight, and both fell through it. When Jason woke up, he was paralyzed from the waist down. He and Erin continued to see each other throughout his recovery and fell in love. Now Jason shares his journey in a comedy special called “The Wheel World.” He shares his story with Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall.

    I was married 18 years and always knew I would push him around in a wheel chair if I had to. Then I needed a kidney transplant, he never offered to be tested as a match and left me for a younger woman after telling me I "took too long to get better " (ps I went back to work after 8 weeks) I'm so glad that some people really love each other no matter what, that's rare. ❤️

I was denied physical therapy and have had to learn things on my own, but I always try to keep my sense of humor and have learned how to be patient and grateful for the little things in life. Thank You for sharing. I'm glad you have good support. If I didn't have my partner, this would have been much harder.

    Thank you for mentioning grief while recovering. Often these stories describe the "road to revocery" as a smooth, upwards motion. But in my experience, where there is loss, there is grief, not to mention all the physical pain related to injury and recovery. It takes strength to go through rehabilitation with the grief, through the grief and not ignoring it. And its always, always worth it! edit:spelling

    I loved this story! True friends and partners will stay with you and uplift you in good and especially bad times. Please know that a disability, an illness, etc does not deter the ones that genuinely love you. When my fiancé got sick with cancer he was rightfully sad, confused, and he said he felt embarrassed of me seeing him as the cancer progressed. I saw him fight, I saw him be strong for his friends and family, I saw him as the strongest and most inspiring man I had ever seen. I loved caring for him, I loved our banter and being able to cheer him on, I loved his hugs, his smile… I felt more in love with him as I was honored that he let me accompany him in his journey. It helped us grow closer and solidify our relationship. Sadly, he passed away, but I would not have changed anything about our story.

He could have easily been sad and depressed his whole life, and chosen not to marry or date the girl who was with him at the time, but he decided life was still worth living. Reminds me a lot of the story of Teddy Pendergrass, another entertainer paralyzed at the height of his fame, but who still made music for decades after, bringing joy to all. Would be great to see Netflix give this guy a comedy special.

    I was in a car crash in 1981, and had a similar life-changing situation, except my brain was injured and recovery took over ten years of rehabilitation. Your story is amazing, and even if you're accepting your paraplegia now, you might be curious to know if stem cell therapy could help you walk again. A friend of mine had a spinal stroke in May of last year and has been receiving stem-cell therapy down in Argentina with positive-if slow-results. Regardless, your story is inspirational and I hope to hear of more successes from you.

    My nephew fell during a mountain climb at 18 years in West VA. His father worked for Johns Hopkins so a helicopter was sent for him. He is the son of my wife's sister but I loved him like a son. He was an incredible athlete. Toda you 25 years later, still paraplegic, he is an incredible lawyer and an even better person . He plays the market and has had beautiful ladies. The dharma he exuded is incredible and I envy that about him Still, he told me he would trade it all to walk. There would be a waiting line of people willing to give up their abilities if he could have his. He is loved😊

Something about the weigh of the water at depth pushing his body back together through the pressure. It can say for me it helped my TMJ unexpectedly after many years of suffering. Plan on doing somemore Scuba to see if it could help my hips from a car accident. Almost healed now but maybe that last little bit might get better. Blessings for your recovery

Life's one big lesson after another for worse or better outcomes....and that Karma and what you put out in the universe, you most definitely get back.
