- Trapped in Blue John Canyon: In April 2003, Aron Ralston embarked on a solo hiking trip in Blue John Canyon, located in the remote Canyonlands National Park in Utah. While descending a narrow slot canyon, a boulder became dislodged and pinned his right arm against the canyon wall, trapping him in a life-threatening situation.
- Desperate Measures: Ralston spent several days trapped in the canyon, unable to free himself or attract help. He had limited supplies, including water and food, and his situation grew increasingly dire. With no hope of rescue in sight, he made the agonizing decision to amputate his own arm to escape certain death.
- Self-Amputation: Using a multi-tool and other improvised tools, Ralston painfully amputated his right arm just below the elbow. The act of self-amputation was a harrowing ordeal and a last resort to free himself from the boulder.
- Rescued: After amputating his arm, Ralston rappelled down a 65-foot cliff and hiked several miles until he encountered a family on a hiking trip. They provided him with the assistance he needed and alerted authorities, ultimately leading to his rescue.
- Inspirational Survival: Aron Ralston's remarkable survival story became widely known and was later adapted into a bestselling book titled "Between a Rock and a Hard Place." The story also inspired the 2010 film "127 Hours," directed by Danny Boyle and starring James Franco as Ralston.
