'I lost my arms on building site - docs say injuries were worst they'd seen'
Jahden said he has no recollection of the accident and found out he had lost both limbs weeks later after waking up from an induced coma."I've been told that I'm lucky to be alive."They told the mum-of-three they had treated just five people with injuries as severe and only one had survived.
Santana said: "So for him to pull through the way he did, although he lost his arms, for him to still be here and have the opportunity to live a normal life is really amazing, and for our children he's still here to be their father."The experienced tradie said the country's accident insurance provider - the ACC - had underpaid £7,300 a year because he was classified as a contractor.
Following lobbying by his local MP and widespread press coverage of his story, Jahden's employers Supercity Scaffolding agreed to retrospectively reclassify him as an employee, which led the ACC to bump up his entitlements. Local Te Atatu MP Phil Twyford told the Herald: "Getting Jahden treated as an employee is a win for him. It will make a big difference for Jahden and his family.For Jahden - who has one more op left before being released from hospital in September - the next few months are about getting better.
