A man who suffered horrific injuries after plunging 200ft from a beauty spot has astounded medics with his recovery and even his first steps since his fall. Imran Choudhury, 37, was left in a coma for three weeks and had to have his right leg re-attached after the death-defying fall in February last year. But after a 14-month rehabilitation process, he released new footage praising medical teams as he took his first unaided steps since the accident last week. Avid walker Imran had been out hiking alone near Dovestone, in the Peak District, when he had asked a couple of ramblers to take a photo of him on a rock formation. But as he was posing for the shot, he fainted and fell 200 ft (60m) onto the scrubland below, fracturing his skull and leaving his right leg hanging on by just its skin. Since then, Imran worked “extremely hard” to get back on his feet, and said it was “amazing” to walk again without the need of a crutch after surviving the heart-stopping drop. He said: “It’s just great because that was what I have been working for over the last 14 months. I’ve been working really hard, extremely hard, and it was amazing. “They didn’t think I was going to make it because I was so critical. I fell so far down, then I rolled down so much, and was stuck in the middle of the valley. “They all thought that I was going to die until I arrived at the hospital, and that was the moment they thought I might actually survive.”
