State Parachutist Walks After 900-Foot Fall At Bridge Day
In 1999 Brian Tome traveled to Fayet teville West Virginia for the Bridge Day Festival where skydivers base jump from the New River Gorge Bridge. Tome, a 27 year old officer from North East with about 100 jumps, survived a parachute failure and shattered both legs landing on railroad tracks near the river. He spent over a month in intensive care and faced many surgeries and braces over two years. His doctors warned of possible amputation but Tome chose rehabilitation and faith guiding his recovery with support from partner Sheila and physical therapist Tracey Doherty.
