What did aron ralston overcome?

Answer 1

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.
