Amputee former Marine Mark Ormrod hopes for truck-pull record

Mr Ormrod suffered his catastrophic injuries when he stood on a landmine in 2007.

He has since completed a series of challenges, including achieving the world record for the fastest triple amputee 1km swim.

He said after the truck pull challenge that it was a “lot harder than I expected it to be”.

He said: “The track was very icy, so I was slipping and sliding a lot.

“Every time I got going, I would slip… the hardest part was getting the wagon going.”

Mr Omrod is raising money for the charity Reorg, which helps people from the armed forces and emergency services suffering from physical and psychological trauma.
