When you fly for fun, your definition of "normal" is a bit different than the average person's. For Ian Mitchard, jumping out of airplanes, launching off cliffs, and soaring above the earth with a nylon canopy is as normal as walking through the grocery store. But when a dramatic accident put the lifestyle he loves in jeopardy, Ian is forced to grapple with his body, his doctors, and his commitment to his passions as he comes to terms with his new reality and fights his way Back to Normal.
We hope that you are moved by Ian’s story, just as we were, and we ask for your help. We think the story of Ian’s recovery can provide inspiration to people who find themselves in a tough spot - be it an injury, a grim diagnosis, or just a rough patch in their life - and we’d like to spread it across the world in the hopes that it reaches those people that may need a little reminder to keep their heads up, keep pushing forward, and keep a positive attitude as they work their way back to their version of normal.

I started skydiving in ‘95. Addiction took its place from ‘01 to ‘12. Detox about killed me, it took my body over a year to come remotely close to functioning again. The surgeries then began, 12 in 9 years. I’m now 61. Will I ever give up on skydiving again. NO! How ‘bout scuba diving? Yeah…maybe no! Well certainly hiking, you’re old and you have 2 knee replacements! Nah ah, I can dead lift 165! Can you?? I got better, and am doing so still, in the gym and in pt. I stayed in pt for a year for my knees, 6 months+ for my shoulders. Cost? Who the F**k cares! Give up Starbucks! And the club! And….. Figure it out! I went through a time of serious depression but that’s ok. We face that the way we face the physical challenges. It takes awhile, don’t give up. Do get moving! I absolutely love this video! You’re amazing! Your partner too! We have NO quit in us do we?

He was working full-time in skydiving with occasional paid BASE jumping and other filming-related projects.He didnt return to those jobs and decided to focus on developing IT skills. With a background in engineering and nursing, a familiarity with computers, he was able to land a job at the local hospital as a clinical informaticist. He is finally back full-time skydiving while continuing part-time web development and DevOps opportunities. He credits his support in his recovery t o his wife Steph Davis.

With regards to healthcare, he had a high deductible plan through the marketplace. In Utah, Select Health is the insurer. Intermountain Health Care (IMC) and Select-Health are connected, so when he was quickly transferred from St. Mary's in Grand Junction to IMC in SLC, he was in the network. He had to pay the deductible, but a lot was covered per the plan policy. One fortunate aspect of the accident is that it was injured in January and the bulk of the treatments were made within the year and therefore covered by Select-Health.

I can't help but wonder what his income source is, and what covered his extensive health care costs?
