Learning to fly again after a serious crash

In 2005, Michael Gibbons was in a helicopter crash. He survived but his two best friends died. It was two years before he walked again but he tells Ailin Quinlan it thaught him to ’dance in the rain’.

He woke up in hospital with broken bones in every part of his body. Michael Gibbons had a fractured skull and a severe brain injury. His back and sternum were broken, his left arm and one cheekbone were smashed, one of his lungs had collapsed and he had a broken toe.

Then he contracted MRSA.
