A man begged doctors not to amputate his legs after falling 30ft from a mountain and landing on his back.
Jamie Hardesty was on an adventure holiday in North Wales with his wife Sammy when he went on a solo hike on Mount Tryfan in Snowdonia. As he tried to climb down to a ledge, Jamie fell 30ft down the mountain and landed on his back.
The 31-year-old was airlifted to the the major trauma centre, based at Aintree University Hospital in collaboration with The Walton Centre, where they found he had broken his chest, ribcage, back in three places, and had collapsed both of his lungs in the fall.
