The story of Aron Ralston. Most inspirational story.
While hiking in Utah, a falling boulder trapped his arm against the cavern wall. He stood there for five days, pinned. He finally realized no help was coming, and the only way to get free was to cut off his own arm.
He used torque against the boulder to break the radius and ulna, two bones in his arm. He then used his multi-tool that had a dull knife to cut through flesh and muscle and used the pliers to cut through tendons.
A photo Ralston snapped of where he was trapped for five days.
Ralston stumbled out of the cavern, begging for water from hikers he found on the trail.
But being trapped and losing an arm hasn’t stopped his love for adventure. He still hikes and climbs.
And if you’re interested, a movie “127 hours” documents what he went through.
