Cannot recall his life a month ago, forgot acquaintances. Stuntman who almost died at a car show in Lida recorded a video from the hospital
Artemiy Prokapenka miraculously survived: the probability of dying after the injuries he sustained was 95%. The guy told what is happening to him now.
The young blogger-stuntman published a video from the hospital. It's visible that speaking is quite difficult for him.
He says he still feels unwell. He thanks the doctors and friends for their help. He adds that he strongly believed he had to survive, as he hadn't even had time to propose.
Artem says he has memory problems: he hardly remembers all the days after the tragedy. And when asked questions about what happened in his life a month or two ago, he can't recall everything. The names and surnames of some acquaintances have also disappeared from his memory.
— I severely damaged my brain, because of this I might be delirious.
Recovery, according to various doctors' prognoses, will take one to three years. Artem faces lengthy rehabilitation, which requires a lot of money.
He doesn't lose hope of becoming the person he was.
— Everything strongly depends on my discipline, willpower. And also strongly depends on finances.
The guy thanks those who donated for his treatment. He says there were enough donors who transferred small amounts – both 80 kopecks and 2 rubles. But many responded.
Now Artem is learning everything anew. He promises to show the process on social networks.
Recall: blogger-stuntman Artemiy Prokapenka is one of the most famous stuntmen in Belarus; his videos have gathered almost half a billion views.
On his Instagram page, the guy indicated that he had risked his life 25 times – that's how many potentially fatal stunts he performed in his 24 years. But this time in Lida, something went wrong.
During the car show «Tachki. Piknik» (Cars. Picnic), which took place near the walls of Lida Castle in August, an accident occurred. Artemiy Prokapenka was standing on a large barrel. He jumped, and while airborne, he was hit at speed by one of the drifting cars.
In one of the incident videos, it's visible that other men run up to the guy lying on the asphalt. They quickly grab Artemiy by his arms and legs and carry him off the platform. The show then continued.
In a comment to "Onliner," the show organizers emphasized that two ambulances were on duty at the event — and medics promptly provided first aid, after which Artemiy was hospitalized in Lida's hospital.
They tried to calm the public on the spot: they announced that the guy only broke his leg and suffered a head injury.
But, as "Nasha Niva" found out, the situation was more serious. Artemiy's acquaintances said that he was transferred to a hospital in Minsk — and his condition was of moderate severity.
Later, the guy's relatives opened a charity account, the collected funds from which will go towards the stuntman's recovery.
