Halsted damaged his spinal cord and became a paraplegic as a result of the accident.
The training at the winter sports clinic prepared Halsted to compete at the next level.
At the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Games, Halsted finished in the top 10 in all three of the events he participated in.
The Department of Veterans Affairs staff helped Halsted realize he had access to programs to help him get back to living a fuller life.
That's what happened to Sean Halsted one day when he fell 40 feet to the ground while fast-roping from a helicopter during a training mission at Hurlburt Field, Fla.
