My husband, an avid snowmobiler, shared with me this story about a snowcross racer named Mike Schultz who lost his leg in a snowmobiling accident and developed his own prosthetic knee. He's since returned to the sport and recently won a gold medal at the Winter X games. The story is reminiscent of Brad Zdanivsky's, the quadriplegic rock climber who created a device to get him back onto a mountain. What impressed me the most about Schultz is that he created the knee in his own garage and hopes to market it to help other "extreme" athletes.
