现实版剪刀手

　　British man Stephen Ball was crippled in a mountaineering accident but now he is climbing again thanks to prosthetic hands complete with built-in ice-axes. Stephen fell 2,000 feet down one of the America's Mount McKinley, after finding himself trapped in a terrifying snow storm in 1999. Stephen lost part of his left hand, his right fingers and thumb, part of his nose and his right foot to severe frost bite. Luckily he met with leading prosthetic technician, Phil Myers. The pair eventually came up with the ground-breaking "axe hands" which have been specially designed for ice climbing。
　　英国男子史蒂夫•鲍尔曾遭遇登山事故致残，而如今，装有内置式冰镐的义肢让他得以继续登山爱好。1999年，史蒂夫在攀登美国麦金莱山时遭遇暴风雪，从600多米高处摔落。这次事故令他失去了部分左手、右手五指、部分鼻子，右脚严重冻伤。幸运的是，鲍尔遇到了假肢矫形技术员菲尔•迈耶斯。二人齐心协力打造出了史无前例的“冰镐手”。
