Car Crash Survivor Becomes World’s 1st Paralyzed Person to Join Tough Mudder

A car crash survivor has become the world's first paralyzed person to take part in Tough Mudder after finishing the grueling 12-mile course in a wheelchair he controls with his chin, according to the Daily Mail.

Rob Camm was paralyzed in a car crash two years ago, which left him with no movement in his body from the neck down just a week before he was due to start university.

Last month, Camm became the first tetraplegic in the world who is reliant on a ventilator to learn how to walk again using an incredible robotic skeleton controlled by his thoughts, the daily says.

Now, the 21-year-old has taken part in the notorious Tough Mudder challenge - which is billed as 'probably the toughest event on the planet' - in an off-road wheelchair set on top of a quad bike.

The former rugby player, who lives with his family in Breadstone, Gloucester, said: 'I wanted to do a Tough Mudder before the accident and still wanted to do it now.

“I've got a wheelchair that's capable of doing it, so I thought 'why not?' It's a wheelchair set on top of a quad bike and I've not found anything that can stop it yet, “ he was quoted as saying.

“People think that someone in my position shouldn't be doing what I'm doing, but I'm just going to prove them wrong,” he said.
