Skydiver reunited with prosthetic leg he lost while 10,000 feet in the air



A worker at a California lumber yard made an unusual discovery on Monday: A prosthetic leg wearing a blue Nike shoe was found on the ground.

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office investigated the discovery and after calling some folks at the nearby airport they solved the mystery.

It turns out the owner, who police identified only as Dion, lost the leg as he was 10,000 feet in the air skydiving over the area on Sunday. He told police that after he and his friends landed, they looked around the area but couldn't find the leg. On Monday afternoon, officers reunited him with it.



The post also said Dion told them he was thankful to get his $15,000 leg back and glad it didn't land on anyone.

"He promises to make a tether and learn from this but fully plans to stick with his passion."

1. I'll bet finding that leg lying on the ground was as creepy as hell.

2. Right?

That's what I was thinking. I spend a lot of time in the woods and I find some strange things but that would have creeped me out a bit.

3. The weirdest thing I've ever found was at an abandoned house out in the country.

Lying on a pile of trash was a bowling bag that looked to be in good shape. When we opened it, you could see what looked like a human skull with black hair.

It turned out to be a wig on one of those styrofoam wig stands. Freaked us out at first.

4. Yeah, that'd do it.

I was hiking on a slope above a lake once, I was way up into the trees and I found an old, beat up mailbox (the rural type on a piece of beam). It was pretty old and had been there a long time. But as I learned the history of the area I realized it was a piece of debris from a natural disaster more than half a century before. It was a good half mile above the road in a rather mature stand. There wasn't anything but rodent dwelling materials inside. Was a little creepy but not really creepy like finding a recently detached prosthetic with a shoe on it. I do like solving the mysteries those odd things present, creepy or not.
