I have these super long flexible fingers that bend backwards and fold over each other much like the picture in the OP. I also can sit in lotus pose for a very long time, put my foot behind my head, etc. I am more flexible than my 10 year old.

I can do that too. :mrgreen:

I can also dislocate both of my thumbs and index fingers. I also used to be able to pop my shoulder out and back in again, but I'm afraid to do that now. That's about it.

I'm also double-jointed. I can bend my fingers back further than most other people can. I can't bend my fingers all the way back, though.

I also have double-jointed elbows.

My leg is behind my head. This was taken at my school several years ago.

I'm double-jointed in my left thumb, and I think that's it.

I'm double jointed. I can do that overlapping-fingers thing, make my elbows touch behind my back, bend my thumbs backwards in a 80-90 degrees angle and few other things I can't recall.

I'm not, but my sister is. I used to be jealous of her, because of it. What a dumb thing to be jealous, about.

Wait, that's double jointed? I can do that! I can do it with my toes, too. I'm also super bendy...almost to the point of putting my legs behind my head. Ah, yoga.

Me too. I am very rigid, but I blame it on lack of exercise -- also, lack of fidgeting (unlike most people here).

My friend actually suspected that I am missing a joint in one of my pinkie toes. Who knows what other joins I could be missing?
