A man who was cut in half by a forklift accident has admitted how 'disappointed' he was by how his friends reacted to the incident.

Working as a labourer in Montana, US, at the time, Loren Schauers was using a forklift and accidentally veered off a bridge on 27 September, 2019.

The forklift dropped 50ft to the ground and Loren was pinned underneath the vehicle.

Everything below his hips was completely smashed to pieces, and Loren lost half of his right arm.

Following a successful amputation, Loren and his wife Sabia Reiche started a YouTube channel to provide various health and life updates.

Explaining what happened on the day, Loren said: "Since my supervisor took a liking to me he asked me to do practically everything he wanted done.

"So my boss asked me to grab the forklift, drag it across, and move the water barrier back into position. I never got trained to even drive a forklift."

Now, responding to fan questions in another clip, one user asked: "Do your friends still treat you the same way they used to before the accident?

"Are you happy, surprised or disappointed by some of them?"

Loren then replied: "I've been mostly disappointed by most of them, I'd say."

Sabia added: 'I've been a little surprised by some of them."

The husband then cleared things up by saying 'a couple of friends came out of the woodworks and have been really supportive'.

Loren has also opened up about what he gets up to on a daily basis.

"I stream on Twitch as much as possible, whenever I can get up," he said.

"But other than that, pretty much just lay in bed.

"But I try and stream on Twitch as much as possible whenever I'm sitting up.

"And then whenever we're sitting up, whenever I'm sitting up, we're either doing YouTube videos or I'm streaming on Twitch."

"A lot of times we go out to my parents' place," his wife added, "Get in his track chair, do some stuff out there.

"In the summertime, we go on walks and we have a community pool here, we'll spend some time there too."

In the comments section, viewers were impressed by Loren's positive outlook on life.

"He is physically half the man I am but I am emotionally and mentally half the man he is. I wish I had his motivation and outlook on life. You rock my dude!" one person wrote.

Another added: "I am a 73-year-old man and I must say that I am full of admiration and respect for these two young people.

"It’s a great lesson in life and love that they give us: a huge thank you to them, God bless them."
