The amputation of both of Vidal’s legs above the knee resulted from an automobile accident.Ā Ā Vidal’s health insurance would cover only basic walking legs for him.Ā Ā However, as an active young man, Vidal knew that the high tech legs available to above the knee amputees would give him a better chance at doing the things he loved before his injury, including going to college.Ā However with a price tag of $100,000+, these legs were out of reach for Vidal.
