At the 1992 World Extreme Skiing Championships in Valdez, Alaska, Garret Bartelt lost control and tumbled 800 feet down a 3,000-foot mountain, violently bouncing off cliffs and rocks. Spectators feared the worst, but Bartelt miraculously survived. He was airlifted to a hospital, where surgeons repaired his shattered femur with a metal rod. Defying the odds, he made a full recovery and returned to competition just three years later, in 1995. | thescaryfact
