Wingman Mountain Rescue!
When packing a Wingman ration box of 8 into my rucksack to go snowboarding in Les Arcs (French Alps) I anticipated they’d be great for a quick freshen up before après ski and some messy nights out! After a few brilliant sunny days on the slopes, with confidence high (despite poor conditions), things unexpectedly took a turn for the worse. A brief lapse in concentration and loss of control sent me on a nasty tumble, landing with full force on my head! I was fortunate to only incur a compression fracture in my upper back; however this resulted in a long five day stint strictly bound to a hospital bed. You can see in my picture the corset which I now have to wear for 2 months! My inability to move meant the only daily cleansing came from a half-hearted bed wash by the French nurses. Luckily, my friends had brought my rucksack down to the hospital and conveniently I had my 8 pack of Wingman remaining. The wipes allowed for a more thorough daily wash and the fragrance helped me evade many of the interesting hospital smells!
I am now back home and well on the road to recovery!
Thanks Wingman,
Samuel Barton.
