The man whose legs were broken andpinned under a tree for more than 100 hours survived by eating plants and insects, and drinking rainwater and sweat,according to a Go Fund Me page set up to help support him financially.
Jonathan Ceplecha, an Army veteran, teacher and father, was cutting oak trees with a chainsaw at his property in Redwood Falls on Aug. 27 when both of his legs got pinned under a tree, causing his upper torso to be "semi-twisted as he sat upright on the ground," the page said. "His legs were broken instantly and he was in enormous pain."
