Right before her senior year of high school, Emily Brough went bouldering with friends and found herself stranded 40 feet above the ground with no way down except to jump. When her friend barely made it to the water below after a full running start, Emily tried to follow—but hesitated. That moment sent her crashing onto lava rock, shattering her pelvis and breaking her arm and foot. Surgeons later rebuilt her pelvis using 68 metal pins. Emily spent her entire senior year in a wheelchair, semi-paralyzed, facing a future that suddenly looked nothing like the one she had planned. In this episode, Emily describes what went through her mind during the fall, what recovery demanded physically and mentally, and how she rebuilt her life after surviving an accident that should have killed her. Ten years later, she reflects on how a few seconds in the air changed everything—and what it really means to survive.
