- This is the story of Stefan Hadfield, an extreme sportsman who has always pushed beyond the limits. His latest achievement has astounded the world’s medical profession as he recovers from a brain injury he should never have survived. A major skiing accident in Canada left Stefan unable to walk or talk after he careered down a cliff face smashing his head on a rock. Stefan’s accident says much about the brain’s ability to recover.

11:55 I dont understand why he does not wear helmets?
Amazing recovery. Would be interested to see where he is now in 2018 and if his recovery continued so well. Thank you for sharing, love your channel!

@@lhaviland8602 Where did you get that from, I have found nowhere where that is stated.
I'm surprised he does not wear a helmet on the unicycle!
My friend had a similar injury and has to wear a scrum cap for most sports.
Some people don’t believe in continually wearing protection as it’s takes away the feeling of the freedom -the wind in the hair- If he were my kid, I’d be on his case about it ....but as an adult you can’t force him to do anything he doesn’t want to do. Two of My kids (adults) work outside and I have a hard time dealing with the fact that they don’t wear sunblock.
What a wonderful girlfriend he has! What a great spirit he has!
So inspiring! His recover was just amazing! Our brains do work in mysterious ways... He can still remember some words of foreign laguages, his ability in sports its still there... Just the most simple things are the harder and that he has to learn.
On my bike accidente i was only on a coma for 4 days. But i woke up and i could only mumble. Had a lot of broken bones and my memory was affected.Long therm and short term too. I didnt know the name of certain things in my mother language and i would know in another language. I did some speach therapy so i speak normaly now. But because i've always spoken 5 languages, i sometimes get confused and mix in some words of the wrong language. I cant play the guitar anymore, and i refused to learn cuz it frustrated me. Seing people like Stephan is trully meaningful and makes us appreciate everything more tbh... He's a hero. And his gf is an amazing girl!
Wow, you have an incredibly touching story The16BitLolita! Continue to be an inspiration! Thank you for watching our videos!
Oooh thank you! That means a lot to me. I have many problems, as my kid has Aspergers and i too have a psychiatric illness, but my accident showed me we can do anything. I admit i cried a lot and i was miserable thinking i wouldnt be able to talk again, and i couldnt say exactly what i wanted to say,
i was tired of all the times i had to go to change the bandages on my knees (from the burns)., everything seemed unmbearable. But all that just made me stronger! :D
Kudos to Canada and New Zealand for having good rehabilitation for TBIs :)
My friend suffered a brain injury 🥺 I hope and pray she recovers like this young man.
I think the fact that he was so brilliant and so multi talented (and still young) before the accident is the reason for his miraculous recovery.
Good for you Stefan, your recovery has been amazing! Your girlfriend seems really lovely and supportive too! Hooray to Kiwi resilience 🥝😊
Dear Stefan, please wear a helmet!!! ❤️
You did incredible recovery. I'm so proud of you and giving hope to us. My boyfriend and I was biking by the water in Dunedin, New Zealand for vacation at February 11th,2017 then one camping van was kicked him off the bike and he got DAI brain injury. He has been in the coma for 1 week and other 2 weeks in Dunedin hospital before flew back to Canada for his rehabilitation treatment. Now after 4 months, he is always be frustrating and he is still struggling to walk and talk everyday. He's see double if he is open 2 eyes in the same time. ..
Thanks for watching huyen and for sharing your story. We hope your boyfriend makes a full recovery and your both happy & healthy now!
Attitude Thank you very much!
me too
I had a brain tumor where my incision is in the same place as Stephan's. I also have 4 metal plates and screws in my skull and executive functionality issues. Learning to walk and be able to balance and even hit a balloon back and forth with someone were all difficulties and memory problems.
It’s awesome to see that Stefan is progressing and learning daily. My son experienced a TBI at the age of 24 and was in a coma for 13 days. I can relate to the toddler then teenager and now young adult. The human body is an amazing tool. The days are longer without exhausting. He is back at school and a new vocation.
I wish Stefan all the best and a full recovery. A strong mind and body I wish you well 🙏🏽
This guys attitude towards life is refreshing
Amazing recovery and a very amazing girlfriend. Stood beside him though think and think. Very beautiful.
Bless you m8 keep going keep positive you are amazing dont give up headway nottingham great britain uk gud luck x
I’m so glad Stephen beats the odd and got better. He’s one lucky dude.. with a gorgeous and supportive girlfriend that never left his side.
the friend did the right this to record the emergency staff ... the fsmily sure would want to know how all goes on..no for searching errors...but to know
When a guy with brain damage is significantly smarter than me fml
hes so bright... is not even funny... dudes seems completely normal
It's crazy hes the same age as me when his accident happened:/
What a sweet guy! His girlfriend, dad and his other friends are pretty cool, too. I’m glad for all of them.
Those surgeons and the sh*t they do 🤯😍 What amazing humans! ❤
Go Stefan😊👍💜💜🇦🇺

Unbeleivable recovery. Truly magical. What a sweetie.
God Bless Him for not giving up and God Bless His Lady Friend for standing by him and not abandoning him... Definitely against the odds!!
Lucky!!!
how did he semi recover like that
Wonderful story of recovery.
God bless you. Amen
No helmet?
Hot sweet girl.
Ew, you're trash
He is a true miracle!!!! God Bless him!!!! He has the best attitude!!! AWESOME GUY. I understand why she stuck by him. So great u 2 are still together!!!
He has a mental age of about 7 or 8 by my estimation. His poor girlfriend. You can tell she's pretending, especially at 22:57.
We are talking about yourself for sure.
“Mental age” isn’t anything like as simple as you make out. His “poor girlfriend” made it very clear that she always had a choice and chose to stay with him. I never saw any hint that she was “pretending”. Why would she? You appear to be projecting your own prejudices and jealousies onto this couple. It’s creepy.
I'm a born again Christian and things always get better in my life because of jesus
What??? What does this have to do with ANYTHING??
Like, even though your brain got hosed, you're totally awesome. Way to go, babe!
