If you are familiar with the movie 127 Hours last 2010, then be aware that the subject portrayed by James Franco was actually based from the life of Aron Lee Ralston of an accident that happened in Utah in 2003. What happened was he used a pocketknife in giving amputation to his right arm just to escape the boulder that blocked him from getting out in the Blue John Canyon in five days. As painful as that sounds, he managed to survive.
Before that incident, the man was already known as a motivational speaker, engineer, and outdoorsman. He has been known to enjoy climbing mountains, specifically those that reach fourteen thousand feet in Colorado, and even canyoneering which led him to the incident. For more detailed information about what happened, let us discuss more about the notable survivalist story of Aron Ralston.
It was in Utah, specifically at eastern Wayne County, where he was able to hike alone last April 26, 2003. What caused him to have a crushed right hand was due to a dislodged boulder when he arrived on a slot canyon. The biggest mistake is he did not give any information to anyone before which he was hiking so not a single person searched for him being stuck there.
The man almost lost hope for spending five days in there while slowly consuming his remaining water that was not even enough and he only had about two burritos while trying to free his arm. In the third day, he got dehydrated and planned to cut his arm for escape. With the use of tourniquets, he experimented to amputate his forearm for practice.
Day four gave him an idea that he really had to amputate through the bones even though he did not have the proper tools to do it. In addition, he forced himself in drinking his urine since he ran out of something to eat or drink on the fifth. His videotape still worked so he utilized it in saying goodbyes to the people that matter to him and even carved his name, birth date, and his assumed death date at the sandstone wall.
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 was already single handed but he had to hike out with the extreme heat of the sun and he had no phone in his ride too. Luckily, he found a family on a trip from the Netherlands. In the process of alerting the right authorities to save him, they gave him some water and Oreos for a while.
He thought he would bleed to death already since he lost about forty pounds. However, there were rescuers already when he had gone missing and flew using a helicopter. In fact, he was only rescued after six hours that the arm was cut.
He said that he might be dead if he only wanted to be rescued. In returning to the site, fact was that thirteen men have to push a boulder. He also scattered ashes of his cremated arm in the area.
