Someone posted a link to this on teletips...pretty sobering.

Ran into the amputee feller on a plane to L.A. earlier this year. Overheard him talking to another passenger about his accident, which, I was familiar with as a friend of mine was the "Dr. from Dillon" who skied in after the accident. Chatted with him for a spell. Amazing guy.
Some useful lessons.

| Thanks for posting that. It is an intense movie. Sad to see people die doing what they love when they could have lived. hindsight. |

| I would say, very sobering. Funny how thoughts of my wife and kids run through my mind as I determine whether I am going to do a canyon on a particular day. Sad film. |

| I second that, but why do we keep going and keep doing what we are doing even though the loved ones stay behind? |
