This week on the FATHERS of the FUTURE Podcast, Luke sits down with professional skydiver and former British Special Forces veteran Jules Ratcliff, who has completed over 2,100 jumps and served in combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Jules shares his near-death experience for the very first time when a parachute malfunction in June 2024 ripped his leg off mid-air at 4,500 feet. Drawing on his military training, he applied a tourniquet on himself while free-falling, a decision that ultimately saved his life. After being placed in a medically induced coma for six weeks and enduring multiple surgeries, Jules takes us inside his fight to recover and the mindset shifts that carried him forward.
In this powerful conversation, Jules opens up about memory loss, the raw emotions of rehab, and the two guiding principles that helped him push through: every day is a step forward, and self-pity has no place in survival. His unwavering faith and gratitude thanking God for allowing his son to still have a father shine through his story of resilience. As Jules continues his long journey of recovery and major surgeries, we invite listeners to support his story and apply the same mindset in their own lives.
