An amputee's dream of having two hands has come true when he was
fitted with a bionic arm - 35 years after he lost his right arm when
he accidently shot himself.
Ryan Backos, now 38, blasted himself in his chest and arm with a gun
when he was just three years old at his childhood home in
Johannesburg, South Africa.
He spent two and a half months in hospital and had numerous
operations to try to save his right arm - but eventually he had to
have it amputated.
