April 26, 2003
Utah
On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself
in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone
would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own
life. He wasn’t ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left
arm, he bandaged himself so that he wouldn’t lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the
mountain to find help.
