Notable Survivalist Story Of Aron Ralston

By Walter Campbell


If an individual has already seen the 127 Hours movie in 2010, then clearly he or she has seen the performance of James Franco which was based from a real life event involving Aron Lee Ralston and the accident which occurred in Utah of 2003. The event led to having only a single pocketknife to amputate his arm on the right to free against boulders that prevented him to escape that took place at the Blue John Canyon for five straight days. As troubling as we hear that, he still survived it all.

When the occurrence did not happen yet, this man has been noted for being a good motivational speaker, outdoorsman, or even an engineer. He spends a lot of his free time in climbing many mountains like the ones in Colorado of about fourteen thousand feet or canyoneering. That is not detailed enough so here is what really happened during the risky survivalist story of Aron Ralston.

It was exactly April 26, 2003 which he hiked by himself only the Blue John Canyon at the eastern Wayne County, Utah. By the time he reached the slot canyon, a boulder suddenly dislodged and smashed his right hand. He got stuck and no help came for him because he did not inform anyone that he hiked.

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.

On day four, it crossed in his mind to finally do an amputation deep within his bones and he disregarded the fact that he had the worst tools for use. He also forced his self in saving the urine he excretes only to drink it later especially on day five when there was already nothing to eat and drink. He brought a videotape so he used that for bidding goodbyes to the whole family and also managed to carve on walls that indicated his name, date of birth, or assumed date of death.

He only had the two inch knife in engaging the cutting session by himself. Due to the carvings, the knife became even duller than before. Out of desperation, he withstood it in the long run.

He still managed to hike with only one hand left with the really warm sun challenging him to survive. In the end, there was a family on vacation there. They alerted the people in charge for rescue plus they gave him a bit of water or food in a short time.

He might have died if he bled to death but that did not happen even in losing weight. Individuals who rescued him finally arrived and brought him to a helicopter. He got saved while he got an amputated arm for six hours with no treatment.

When asked about what would have happened if he just waited for rescue, he replied that he would be found dead. Moreover, it would take thirteen men to remove the boulder. With his arm cremated, he scattered the ashes back where they belong.
