I was skiing at Steamboat with a Wounded Warriors group and saw a double-amputee go into some deep powder and pop out of both his prosthetics so there was just a pair of legs standing on a snowboard in a field. I am still pissed I did not have my camera on me.

So, you can't be both? It takes an extreme amount of courage to even attempt to get through the deep depression following the loss in an attempt to get back to some normalcy. For this, he is greatly admired for those noble qualities.

The connotation of 'hero' is someone who is brave and does something for other people, rather than someone who just finds a new way to endanger himself.

The fact that we call both a man who jumps in front of subway train to rescue a child and a guy who snowboards after a shark attack "heroes" should make you want to use different words to describe them.

Look at Adaptive Ski camps on Adaptive Adventures website. They can get you back on the slopes.

I'm pretty sure doing what you want doesn't make you a hero. I'm pretty sure it's the opposite of that.
