Chris Marckres was coming in for a landing on his first-ever skydiving jump when his $20,000 prosthetic leg fell off. Marckres asked on Facebook for people to keep an eye out, and a farmer responded that he'd found the leg on a 110-acre soybean field.
Marckres, who lost both of his legs to complications from diabetes, told CNN that his right prosthetic slipped off on Saturday during the 10,000 foot drop from the plane to the landing zone in West Addison, Vermont."I never knew. I think my adrenaline was up so much it just wasn't my focus," he said."I was paying attention to everything else and just enjoying it."He lost his prosthetic leg while he was surfing.
It kind of restores your faith in humanity that there's still so many truly good people in the world that are willing to help a complete stranger."Meanwhile, Marszalkowski -- who farms the fields around the skydiving facility -- began his own search after seeing the post on social media.He said his brother once found a skydiver's wallet and was able to return it.So on Sunday evening, the farmer searched the 110-acre soybean field near where the skydiving planes land.
