A US skydiver who lost his prosthetic leg during a jump has it back, thanks to a farmer who kept an eye out for it and spotted it in a field.Farmer Joe Marszalkowski said it was lucky he hadn't run it over with his combine harvester
Farmer Joe Marszalkowski saw the post and went searching for the missing leg, eventually finding it on Sunday in a soybean field."You've always got to keep an eye out," said Mr Marszalkowski, who compared the discovery to a needle in a haystack. "Or, God forbid, the combine [harvester] sucked it up — it would've destroyed it," Mr Marszalkowski said.
Fortunate he didn’t have a glass eye.
It’s wrong I know, but my eyes leaked a little when I read the headline. I wonder what the farmer’s first thought was? Lucky it didn’t hit him in the head. Wouldn’t that have made a great headline?
