A shocking accident had a 29-year-old while competing in a Strongman final, a power demonstration competition in , as the knee joints of his right leg were cut. Athlete Dan Jones, had reached the Strongman final in Southport, Britain on September 1, where he had to carry 80 kg for 20 meters by the finish line. Scary footage show the 29-year-old athlete running and a few seconds before the finish line, falling apart as he ruptured both epigonatian tendons, letting him feel like he was “burning”. The man was rushed to hospital, where he was undergoing surgery lasting 5 hours, according to . As he explained, watching the video from the struggle with doctors and surgeons, “it seems like the epigonatian tending to my right knee being cut out of nowhere, which makes my leg fold down. Then my left knee bends below and this tendon is cut when it hits the ground.” And go on: “It was a horrible accident, we are not yet 100% sure how it happened. I felt like I was burning, my knee pads were in the four-headed because my tendons were cut,” he continued. “The whole crowd cheered and then silenced” “The strangest thing I remember is silence. The whole crowd cheered and then it became a death silence and I just lay on the ground. I was very upset, I had a chance to win. I was too close to the end. I only needed three seconds to run to finish the event.” The doctors, for their part, informed him that he would not be able to walk without help until at least February next year. However, despite his injuries, a child’s 29-year-old and father dream of representing England in the Open Strongman competition in five years, which may not be possible. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic that he will recover after the accident and return to the gym and his life. The 29-year-old is already three weeks in hospital and learns to walk after surgery hopes to be out by the next month when he is 30 years old. “My biggest goal is to be a dad and be able to hunt my daughter and play with her,” she said.
