After nearly six years with the Marines, he transferred to the Navy to operate as a Navy Seal. In July 2001, during the time of his transfer between branches, Oz’s life changed forever when he was involved in a motorcycle accident which resulted in a spinal cord injury (SCI) and the inevitable paralysis and neurological complications associated with SCI. After the accident, the biggest fear Oz faced was how he would define himself given his new physical limitations. He worked on developing both a renewed sense of identity and a transformed perception on life. He managed to pull out of post-injury depression, took a proactive approach to life, and once again “took the bull by the horns.” Oz devoted himself to his educational studies and in 2006 he graduated from SDSU with a degree in business administration and a minor in public communications. He eventually wants to return to SDSU to earn his master’s degree. He is still a competitive athlete in the adaptive sports of handcycling and... See less

Aron Ralston still goes back there, to the place in the Utah mountains where after six days trapped by a boulder, out of food and water and hours from death, he experienced the "epiphany" that saved his life. He was there again yesterday, in part sharing his amazing survival with friends, in part reliving the moment when he realised that by breaking his own arm and then cutting off his pinned right hand and lower forearm, he would beat the odds and probably live. It was, he says, a euphoric moment. "There was no hesitation, no 'should I or shouldn't I?' " he told The Age. "Break the bones? Hell, yeah! Then I pick up the knife and I'm going at it. It's just an hour and five minutes, maybe four, from that time and it was over. I was free. "To me, the amputation is the most beautiful experience I'll ever have in my life because it comes from the contrast of being dead in my grave for six days and (then) having my life back. My sense of euphoria is never more intense than when I am... See less

I am Cameron Clapp, a teenage triple amputee. On September 15, 2001, 4 days after the tragedy of 9/11, my 15 year old life changed forever as I experienced a tragedy of my own. I was hit by a train, resulting in the loss of three limbs—one arm and both legs above the knee. Remarkably, my head and body escaped the accident with hardly a scratch. For that I am very grateful.
