During year 2003, a guy named Aron Lee Ralston had a painful accident in Utah and the event was even the inspiration to one of the notable movies released in 2010 called 127 Hours starring James Franco. For five challenging days, a boulder made him unable to escape the Blue John Canyon which led him to have an idea of escaping by amputating the right arm using a very dull pocketknife. He still managed to live even when the thought of it is hard to imagine.
Being an outdoorsman, engineer, and motivational speaker had been his whole career before the incident took place. The reason he got into a critical situation was because he had been enjoying canyoneering and also hiking mountains like those fourteen thousand feet mountains at Colorado that he achieved. Let us all unravel the life of Aron Ralston and his tragic survivalist story for a deeper background.
It was exactly April 26, 2003 which he hiked by himself only the Blue John Canyon at the eastern Wayne County, Utah. By the time he reached the slot canyon, a boulder suddenly dislodged and smashed his right hand. He got stuck and no help came for him because he did not inform anyone that he hiked.
He became sort of hopeless while staying there in five days and he slowly ate his two burritos and drank limited water while finding ways to get the arm out of the rock. On its third day, dehydration met his fate and he already got desperate in cutting his right arm. With the tourniquets he had at hand, he did experiments on how to properly cut by amputating a forearm to practice.
He definitely lacked the right tools for the job but he still had it in thought to include cutting the bones during the fourth day. During the fifth, he lacked something to drink or eat which led the man to consume his own urine so he could survive. Out of boredom, he made carvings on sandstone walls like his presumed death date, birth date, and name while also utilizing a videotape by saying farewell to those he love.
In performing the amputation, he used his multi tool in which the knife of about two inches was included. The worst part was that it was very dull especially when he used it for carving. However, he managed to do that successfully.
He went back to the vehicle but there was no sign of a phone and he had to continue walking under the heat of sun while being injured. There were three people on a family vacation in sight. They even offered some Oreos and water while waiting for the authorities to arrive and help the man.
He lost a lot of weight which was forty pounds so it was a miracle that he did not die while bleeding. With a helicopter, he got rescued at last. He was actually in a condition of having his arm chopped off for six hours without medical help.
When asked about what would have happened if he just waited for rescue, he replied that he would be found dead. Moreover, it would take thirteen men to remove the boulder. With his arm cremated, he scattered the ashes back where they belong.
