Triple amputee can surf and ski 20 years after doctors told him he’d never walk again
Triple amputee Cameron Clapp can surf, ski and run marathons two decades on from being told that he’d never walk again.
The 35-year-old lost both of his legs above the knee and his right arm at the shoulder when he was hit by a train in 2001.
Following the incident, doctors told him to ‘get a good wheelchair’, but Cameron didn’t take their advice.
Just five months after losing his legs, he was walking independently on prosthetic limbs and hasn’t ever looked back.
“I’ve always been a fighter, a determined individual, and this was a new challenge for me,” he said.
