Within a few months, Yeager was back to his old self. He was able to walk, talk, and eat normally. He even returned to work.

The Science Behind Yeager's Survival

Doctors are still not entirely sure how Yeager survived. But they believe that a combination of factors may have played a role.

• Yeager was wearing a helmet, which may have protected his brain from serious injury.
• Yeager was in good physical condition, which may have helped him to withstand the trauma of the accident.
• Yeager may have experienced a phenomenon known as "suspended animation." This is a state in which the body's metabolism slows down to the point where it appears to be dead.

Whatever the reason, Yeager's survival is a medical miracle. It is a story that gives hope to everyone who has ever faced adversity.
