Hari Budha Magar, former British soldier Budhamagar, who lost both legs in 2010, has become the first person to skydive Mt Everest with the help of an artificial leg. In a conversation with NepalNews, Budhamagar expressed happiness over this kind of success and informed that he would stay in the Everest region for two or three more days.
Despite losing both legs in the war in Afghanistan, Budhamagar, who has been active in various adventure activities, was preparing to climb Mt Everest. However, his ascent was halted after the Government of Nepal (GoN) banned people with disabilities from climbing.
