This man living in Golčův Jeníkov, the Czech Republic, who lost his arms in an accident shows how he chops wood with an axe.

Petr Schneider, 38, is filmed as he manages to lift up and balance a large log on his shoulder.

The 38-year-old then holds the axe in between his chin and chest before swinging at the logs.

Schneider lost both his arms after falling from a roof near an unsecured transformer station. He had received an electric shock after grabbing onto a wire.

He said: "They took me to our hospital and took them by helicopter to Prague, where the Prague University Hospital in Královské Vinohrady specializes in burns.

"Despite all the efforts of doctors and nurses, and strong antibiotics, I got bone marrow in my wounds and gradually began to amputate parts of my hands."

Petr Schneider, 38, lives in the Czech Republic, and filmed this video in February 2020.

After an accident when he was twelve years old, Petr had to have both of his arms amputated.

Petr was playing with his friends near an unsecured transformer station surrounded by scaffolding that was being used to repair the building.

He was up on the roof, and his foot slipped and he fell over the edge.  While trying to save himself, he grabbed the wire leading to the building, giving himself an electric shock.

"They took me to our hospital and took them by helicopter to Prague, where the Prague University Hospital in Královské Vinohrady specializes in burns. Despite all the efforts of doctors and nurses, and strong antibiotics, I got bone marrow in my wounds and gradually began to amputate parts of my hands" said Petr.
