I don't understand; he's paralyzed from the neck down and has become a mountain climber.

"Greener, who is now a mountain climber and motivational speaker, was first awarded $46 million by a San Diego jury in 2023."

That’s brutal. However, I wouldn’t want $5.6 million in exchange for being paralyzed from the neck down. No thank you. No amount of money.
