He lost his arm, but is still climbing. Alan Ralston is an American who is interested in climbing. As a climber, Allen is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things when doing dangerous sports. Many times, Allen almost lost his life because of an accident. On April 26, 2003, when he was climbing in Utah, he found himself in a very dangerous situation. That day, Allen climbed alone in the mountains, a 360-kilogram stone fell on him, and his arm was hit. Since he could not draw his arm, he stayed there for five days, hoping that someone would find him. But when his water was finished, he knew what he had to do to save his life. He did not plan to die that day. So, he cut off his right arm in half with his knife. Then he used his left arm to bandage himself so that he would not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to seek help. After losing his arm, he wrote a book called The Dilemma of Life and Death. It means "in a dilemma that you can"t seem to get rid of." In this book, Allen talks about the importance of making good decisions and controlling his life. He loves mountaineering so much that he continues to climb after this experience. Do we have the same spirit as Allen? Before we find ourselves in the "dilemma of life and death", before we have to make a decision that may mean life and death, let"s think about it.
