No one can ever stop the Human Spirit, as long as there is TRUE LOVE!
The Good News, is True Love Never Ends!
Do you know HIM?
HIS Name is Jesus Christ!
But you do not have to believe me.
I see HIM everywhere in this video!
Shown through the love of people, you shall see HIM.
ROCK The Knife world Trollskyy!
Peace!

Had a ski crash few years back. Broken spine. They told me I would be lucky to walk with crutches. I was devastated, you know mountain man. Watched this video over and over. Worked my ass off to get my semi-paralyzed leg working and be able to ski again. Year after, it didn't work. Watched this video some more. Kept on going. I am skiing again now. So thank you <3

Kurt's injuries from this accident were beyond horrific. We only see here how his left leg had to be amputated at the knee, but the other injuries he suffered actually went FAR beyond that. His right anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament were torn, both his pelvis and his bladder were literally torn in half, seven of his vertebra were broken along with multiple ribs, both of his lungs collapsed, and he suffered a severe concussion. Remarkably, one year later, Kurt made a full recovery. No matter how bleak a situation might be, never EVER lose hope, miracles can and do happen every day. Kurt is proof of that.
