Scott Rogers

Scott Rogers (born October 4, 1968 in Milledgeville, Georgia) is the first above-the-knee amputee to complete the 2,174 mile Appalachian Trail.[1]

The Bionic Hiker

Rogers became an amputee following an accident with a shotgun on Memorial Day 1998.[2]

Several media outlets, including CNN, Associated Press, and NBC, reported extensively on his 2004 hike. Duncan Mansfield, AP writer from Knoxville, Tennessee, coined the term "bionic hiker".[3]

gollark: Haskell's nicer though:```haskells :: t1 -> (((t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t2 -> (t2 -> (t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t3) -> t4) -> t1 -> (IO a -> a) -> t5) -> t5s x k = k z x unsafePerformIO```
gollark: Z expressions or whatever allow for only indent-based handling, actually.
gollark: haskell haskell (haskell) haskell (haskell $ haskell)
gollark: Might there not be a later, longer one?
gollark: How do you know?
