The Inspiration For "127 Hours" Uses His One Remaining Arm for Bad
The inspiration behind "127 Hours," Aron Ralston, a hiker who got stuck, cut off his own forearm, and then further suffered the indignity of being portrayed by James Franco — was just arrested in Denver, Colorado.
Ralston lost his arm in 2003 when he was hiking in a Utah canyon and became trapped. He survived for five days before he freed himself by breaking and amputating his arm.
Now Ralston is stuck somewhere new — jail. He and a woman named Vita Shannon were both picked up Saturday night for domestic violence and one count of "wrongs to minors," a charge that appears to be unique to Colorado.
