Double Jointed

(From Pixabay) This is a picture of rubber bands. I did not want to put a photo of me because it might be too freaky as a cover photo.

Some people can bend their limbs in extreme ways due to the flexibility and genes. I am one of those people and it is fun to sometimes freak out my friends when I do weird things in front of them. I can touch my toes to my ribs (hamstring stretch) and I can fold my fingers at the top knuckle. I'm not going to share photos because it might be too freaky for some. That's why I put the cover photo as rubber bands and not me. But, I uploaded some pics on imgur for those who wanted to see it. You've been warned Is anyone else out there double jointed? Any funny experiences to share?

We know that from circus acrobats. I've always wondered what their joints will be like in old age.

Thanks for not posting the pictures because they would freak me out for sure. I'm not flexible, but I do like to watch rhythmic gymnastics sometimes.

i was actually hoping for a pic because i'm not sure if i'm imagining it right, but i understand why you won't. some members are queasy. double-jointed always meant to me the elbow. i think i've seen one of my brothers do the fingertips fold.

Yes, some people are double jointed. My sister was double jointed because she could pull her thumb to the back of her hand and you are right that is freaky, because my son inherited that and he loves to pull his thumb back just to wathc my reaction.
