Minnesota man up-and-running again on prosthetic leg

[KMSP-TV, July 17, 2014] At Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute at United Hospital, a Minnesota man was learning to run again with his brand new prosthetic leg after a workplace accident left him facing life as an amputee.

Peterson was working for a steel company and was loading sheet metal on a rail cart in 2011 when his life changed.

"I looked down and realized the cart was probably about 2 inches away from crushing me," he recalled. "So, I jumped as high as I could, and it pinned me up against the coil behind me and shattered my whole right leg."
