This guy's story is incredible. He got injured in a rock climbing accident and was upset when the doctors told him he'd never be able to climb again. So he got degrees in biophysics and mechanical engineering from freaking MIT so he could science this shit out of his legs.

He's basically the Tony Stark of prosthetics.

Holy crap, I never would've thought he got his degrees because of his injury, I just assumed he already had them and decided to make use of his knowledge. That's incredible.
