This guy with a physical disability skied after several years. He had broken his back and had been paralysed from the waist down after a snowboarding accident. He came back years later to ski again. The guy moved from his wheelchair onto a contraption that he had to sit on and settle his legs into. He positioned himself on the single ski contraption and jumped off a snow ramp. He crashed hard the first time around but during his second try, he managed to successfully attempt a flip after jump and land perfectly on his feet.
