The video, posted on Instagram by ‘himalayanbungy’, shows the team carefully securing Aabhay Dogra and his wheelchair for safety before helping him off the crane. The moment of the jump is incredible, but it’s his happiness and excitement afterward that really stand out.
The caption celebrates his achievement, saying, “A wheelchair-bound paralysis warrior conquered India’s highest bungee jump at 117 meters, turning a dream into reality.”
