AFTER losing his dominant arm in a terrifying accident, an Air Force vet and gamer didn’t lose his passion for video games. Aaron Soetaert nearly lost his life back in 2009 when he was hit by a drunk driver and had his right arm severed below the shoulder. Despite this harrowing ordeal, the now-33-year-old is thriving and has become a formidable Overwatch and Apex Legends player by using an Xbox controller with one hand. Aaron, of Arizona, told Truly: “After the accident I never thought I would game again. But I just took it day by day, step by step, challenge by challenge.”
