In Cloverdale, Sonoma County California, lumberyard employees showed up for work on a Monday morning in April and saw the glint of something metallic atop a pile of sawdust. Thinking it was a discarded soft drink can, they went to retrieve it. That’s when they discovered the shining metal was an intact artificial leg worth $15,000. Everyone scratched their heads over the find. It seemed to them the leg had just “dropped out of the sky.” Then they called the sheriff’s office, and the mystery was solved. Skydiver Dion Calloway was quickly reunited with the prosthetic he’d lost from 10,000 feet. Calloway was happy to get his leg back. He’s also eager to be skydiving again, though he’s promised to secure his leg more carefully in the future. Calloway says a skydiving accident is the reason he’s an amputee in the first place. He’s clearly not the kind of guy who’s easily deterred.
