College Diver Paralyzed in Accident Walks Across the Stage at Graduation

It’s an awe-inspiring moment that brought college graduation attendees to a standing ovation. Aldo Amenta was paralyzed in a diving accident his freshman year of college, but he defied the odds and proudly walked across the stage after graduating from Florida International University with a master’s degree. It was a major milestone for Aldo, who spent years in therapy learning how to walk again in a state-of-the-art exoskeleton that inspired him to pursue a career in medical engineering.
