The will to survive is strong in these people. Today we will be looking at 10 amazing people who survived
the impossible. Stay tuned for number one. This guy must by the unluckiest person that ever lived.

Number 10. Aaron Ralston
When faced with a life and death situation, what will you be willing to do just to give you a better
chance for survival? Would you be willing to give an arm or a leg? Our first entry on this list took this
expression quite literally, but he was able to survive the impossible in the process.
While climbing Utah’s Bluejohn Canyon, Aron Ralston found himself in a nearly impossible situation as a
boulder came free, crashing down upon him and pinning his hand and forearm. The climber made
considerable effort to pull free, remaining pinned beneath the rock for 5 days before he recognized that
he had no choice but to do something drastic as he was out of supplies and would quickly succumb to
dehydration. It was then that Ralston made a choice many struggle to truly understand, amputating his
own right hand armed with nothing but a multitool. In order to do so, he had to first break the bone,
then cut through the skin and tendons to free himself. His will to survive was strong enough, he found
the courage to make a major sacrifice, but this courage saved his life.

Number 9. The Stella Maris Rugby Team
Technically speaking, it’s definitely safer to travel via airplane rather than by driving your car, however,
there are certain people that are still terrified to fly, and with good reason. Plane crashes, when it
doesn’t kill you outright, can put you in a situation wherein survival can be impossible.
What should have been a routine flight to attend a rugby match turned into a harrowing even for the
Stella Maris College rugby team when the plane they were on crashed into a snow-covered mountain
October 12, 1972. A total of 17 people were killed instantly or died within minutes, but the worst wasn’t
over for the survivors. Stranded on the mountainside, they were forced to survive in freezing conditions
with no shelter and very little food. Using what they could of the mangled fuselage, they huddled
together while waiting to be rescued. Unfortunately, the harsh conditions, as well as an avalanche,
would claim the life of another 10, and the survivors were even forced to eat the flesh of their deceased
teammates to survive. After a total of 60 days on the mountain, the 2 fittest survivors braved a 12-day
trek to seek help, saving those who remained. A total of 16 of the 45 people on the flight survived.

Number 8. Truman Duncan
Getting hit by a train is, most of the time, a sure fire way to get yourself killed. But, with the perfect
combination of luck and happenstance, even getting run over by a speeding train can be survivable.
In 2006 Truman Duncan was working the rail yards in Cleburne, Texas when he was swept underneath a
moving train. The rail car dragged Duncan a total of 75 feel, and his lower body was so mangled that he
was nearly cut in half at the waist. Somehow, the man not only managed to stay focused and conscious,

he actually made the call to 911 himself from his cell phone. Duncan’s injuries required a total of 23
surgeries over a 6-week period, costing him both legs and one of his kidneys, but he lived to tell the tale.
Number 7. Anatoli Bugorski
Most people think that it’s the blue collar jobs that are dangerous, nobody thinks that being a physicist
can be a perilous trade as well.
Russian physicist Anatoli Bugorski highlighted the incredible dangers faced by scientists due to the
equipment that they are handling on a regular basis. While checking out a piece of malfunctioning
equipment Bugorski was struck in the head with a beam from the largest Soviet particle accelerator.
While experts report that 1000 rads is enough power to kill pretty much anyone that comes in contact
with it, the particle beam that struck Bugorski measured at approximately 200,000 rads! Miraculously,
the beam missed his brain stem damaging only a small portion of his brain and paralyzing the left side of
his face. In fact, in time his brain actually began to recover from the injury developing new neuron
pathways. When all was said and done, he lost none of his intellectual capacity and returned to work a
year and a half later.
