A zipline consists of a long stretched wire that sits high up in the air, providing stunning views below. Generally, it is completely safe.
But when Aimee’s turn came something went completely wrong. The cable suddenly snapped and Aimee fell down toward a cliff… and lost her leg that day.
Aimee was taken to the hospital, but the tragedy didn’t stop there.
Doctors found that it was much worse. Flesh-eating bacteria had infected the wound, and the 24-year-old was facing possible death.
After 11 surgeries and tough rehabilitation Aimee luckily succeeded and managed to cope with it- but she had to amputate both hands and legs.
Slowly but surely, Aimee adapted to her new life, and now four years after the accident, this picture of the warrior is spreading on social media, inspiring thousands online.
There, wearing a bikini on the beach, Aimee’s proudly showing off her body just as it is – with scars and amputated limbs.
She wrote: “It has taken me a long time to become comfortable with and accept my new body. We are ALL made with imperfections and there is so much beauty in our flaws. The scars and skin grafting build character! It’s not about what you have — what you do with what you have is what really counts.”
