What's making them bigger? Isn't their bones getting larger, thus they wouldn't be small in proportion to the person.

Ordinary human growth. We can't make a skyscraper the height of a space elevator out of steel and concrete because the length would exceed the specific strength of the beams. The same logic holds true for a skeleton on a giant person.

I think the limit of the heart to pump blood to the brain would be reached before the limits of bones and cartilage.

Google tallest person on earth, anyone over 8 feet starts getting curved shin bones and hunchback.

If someone was bed ridden and had a machine pumping their blood, probably pretty fucking big.

Robert Wadlow was actually doing fine. He died due to a stupid ass infection, not even his height.

But that's not really the same thing as ordinary healthy growth, as most of the world's tallest people are only that height due to a pituitary tumor.

Bones aren't the limiting factor in human height.
