CA Deputies return prosthetic leg after skydiver loses it mid-air

The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department’s story of lost and found is going viral.

They received a call about a prostheticleg being found at a Cloverdale lumber yard. The deputy gathered the intact leg, checked the area and called some people at the nearby airport.

As it turned out, an amputee went skydiving and his leg fell off in mid-flight from about 10,000 feet up. After they landed, he and friends looked around the area but couldn’t find it.

But Deputies got a hold of Dion and were able to return his leg.

A post made by the Department says, “Great guy, full of humor who said he lost his first leg in a freak skydiving accident two years ago but that hasn’t held him back. He jokingly quipped that this was his second leg lost while skydiving. He was thankful to get his $15k leg back and was even more thankful it didn’t land on anyone or break anything. He promises to make a tether and learn from this but fully plans to stick with his passion. Good luck Dion!! Great spirit!!!”
