What did aron ralston overcome?
Aron Ralston was hiking one day in the Blue John Canyon alone as he usually did. except this time he didn't tell anyone where he was going. he was hiking around a tight canyon and he grabbed a 800-pound boulder and it slipped and fell on his arm, pinning his right arm against the canyon wall. Aron tried and tried to get the boulder unpinned from his arm but it was useless. he sat there trying to get the boulder off for 5 days with a gallon of water, a video camera, a flashlight, climbing rope, and extra batteries. He made a video on the night of the 4th day saying his goodbyes. he surprisingly woke up on day 5. he got the idea that he could cut his arm off then. he used the insulation of his camelbak and a carabeener to make a tourniquet. he then broke the two bones in his forearm to be able to cut the arm off. he then cut through his arteries, muscle, and nerves to get the arm off. he got out of the canyon after he rappeled 65 feet. he then had to walk 7 miles until he found a family that called for help. Aron still climbs today and also makes a lot of money as a motivational speaker.
How old was aron ralston when he cut off his arm?
I believe he decided to do it because of the will to live. He literally saw his life flashing before him. In case you didn't know his situation, he was hiking in a remote Utah desert. He started climbing down a slot canyon known as "Blue John Canyon" when a boulder fell and trapped his arm in place against the rock and between the canyon walls. He was stuck for 5 days, eventually having to drink his own urine... tasty. With no other way to go, he had to cut off his own arm using an imitation-Leatherman multi-tool.

Why did Aron Ralston wait five days before cutting his arm off?
Why, what's the normal protocol on cutting your arm off? It should go without saying that cutting your own arm off is a pretty desperate move. Ideally, you want to do it after you have no reasonable hope that someone will find you otherwise, but before you're too weak for it to do you any good anyway. In retrospect, five days seems like a pretty good call, since it worked.
What is the most amazing survival story you have ever heard?
Well I think this is. ARON RALSTON While he was on a canyoneering trip in Blue John Canyon (near Moab, Utah), a boulder dislodged, crushing his right forearm and pinning it against the canyon wall. Ralston had not told anyone of his hiking plans and knew no one would be searching for him. Assuming that he would die, he spent five days slowly sipping his small amount of remaining water while trying to extricate his arm. He eventually ran out of water and began to drink his own urine, carved his name, date of birth and presumed date of death into the sandstone canyon wall, and videotaped his last goodbyes to his family. After five days of trying to lift and break the boulder, a dehydrated and delirious Ralston prepared to cut off his already-dead arm by levering it against a chockstone, which snapped the radius and ulna bones. Using the dull blade on his multiuse tool, he cut the soft tissue around the break. He then used the tool's pliers to tear at the tougher tendons. Although he never named the make of the tool other than to say it was not Leatherman, he did describe it as "what you'd get if you bought a $15 flashlight and got a free multi-use tool".[1] After freeing himself, he was still eight miles from his stick shift truck, and he had no cellular phone. He had to rappel down a 65-foot sheer wall, then hike out of the canyon in the hot midday sun. While hiking out, he encountered a family of three on vacation from the Netherlands, who gave him water, two Oreo cookies, and all the food that they had. They then alerted the authorities. He was ultimately rescued by a helicopter search team. His arm was retrieved by park authorities and removed from under the boulder. It was cremated and given to Ralston. He returned to the boulder and left the ashes there. The incident has given Ralston something of a celebrity status and has even inspired spin offs such as Stanford University's Aron Ralston MAN Game.
