Five days later, Arun decided to cut off his own arm to save his life. He used his body weight to bend his arm until he felt it break. Then, using his dull knife, he slowly cut off his arm. The operation took a full hour. He administered first aid to himself, then tied a rope to the rock and climbed down about 70 feet to the bottom of the canyon. After 5 miles, he met a Dutch family who gave him water and helped him walk.
