 One leg up: A fateful findingSkydiving is a thrilling hobby, but if you’re not 100% careful, you could end up dropping something as you leap from the plane. People have lost wallets, watches and jewelry because they forgot to leave them onboard. But what if the thing you lose is attached to your body most of the time? Well, that’s exactly what happened to Chris Marckres, who lost one of his irreplaceable prosthetic legs while skydiving. Prosthetic legs can be incredibly expensive, and the fact they’re custom-fit to each patient makes losing one quite costly.
