Remarkably, Matt has been able to return to the water, despite his terrible injuries. FLORIDA,USA: THIS MAN was electrocuted at a voltage equivalent to SIX ELECTRIC CHAIRS during a tree trimming accident - leaving him with melted skin over twenty-five percent of his body and his ribs completely exposed.

Bobbye Jean and Matt?s parents were told that Matt was very unlikely to live to see the next day, but miraculously Matt managed to survive the night. Furthermore, doctors told Matt?s parents that the amputation of his arms was very likely due to how severe the burns were. Matt spent the next week in a c
