Day 1
Aron Lee Ralston arrives at the Canyonlands National Park on his first day of his five-day road trip. After hours of walking around the canyons he gets his arm stuck between a big boulder and a canyon wall. On his first day being stuck, he figures that he might not survive this due to a lack of water, and because he has not told anyone where he is. -
Day 2
Aron is still stuck but he tries to get the boulder away from his arm by using his climbing equipment. This doesn't work however. After his failed attempt he starts thinking about amputating his arm, but after some brainstorming and testing different ways of doing it, he choses to not amptutate his arm. -
Day 3
The thought of amputating his arm comes back to his mind and he puts his blade to his forearm. The blade doesn't pierce his skin though which frustrates Aron. He urinates in his water reservoire to save it for drinking later. -
Day 4
Aron is running low on water, and when he tries to drink the last water he has left he spills it on the ground. Aron is losing hope of survival and he uses his camcorder to record messages to his family. He takes a look at his arm, and quickly prepares a tourniquet before thrusting his blade into his arm. He drinks some of his urine before going to sleep. -
Day 5
He doesn't do much this day. Aron is mostly sleeping and he doesn't feel very. He is pretty sure he will die, untill he has a vision about his future son. He will survive this! -
Day 6
Aron finds his right hand much more decomposed than he thought it would be, and he wants to seperate it from his body. He twists his arm so that the bones breaks, then he starts cutting it off.
