In which Steve and Alex meet former Metropolitan Police firearms officer, "Jack", who lost the sight in one eye as the result of a fall from a ladder. He talks about his determination to not let his injuries define him or restrict his life and how, in spite of his impaired vision, he returned to both driving and riding his motorbike. He even passed his advance motorcyclist test and achieved Gold Level accredition from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) as an advanced motorcyclist. He doesn't consider himself an inspiration...Steve and Alex think he is. And he says he doesn't have a standout message...but he actually does! #themanwhofelltoearth #crazypaving #abumponthehead #orbitalblowout #ladder #firearmsofficer #CID #partiallysighted #visuallyimpaired #askforhelp #dontbeafraidtoaskforhelp #mindset #positivity #gallowshumour #adversity #improvise #adapt #overcome #improviseadaptovercome #improviseadaptandovercome #heartbreakridge
