Builder paralysed in a 30ft horror fall walks with £50,000 robot legs
  • 5 years ago
A builder who was paralysed in a 30ft horror fall on a site can now go for a stroll around the park - thanks to his £50,000 robot legs. Gheorghe Dunca was left paralysed from the waist down, after he fell nine metres from the first floor of a building while working as a labourer in 2011. But now the 42-year-old has secured enough compensation to use £50,000 exo-skeleton legs for the next 20 years - because they need to be replaced every five years. Gheorghe said he was "devastated", as he loved travelling and had always had a physical job, but was told he would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
