A seemingly innocuous accident at work in 1997
changed 53-year-old George Hinckley’s life. A fire at the Gillette
plant in Boston, Massachusetts, brought the manufacturing manager
into work after hours. Coming in from his boat, the burly 6’3″
Hinckley was dressed in shorts and boat shoes when he was assessing
the source of the fire with firefighters. With a breathing
apparatus throwing off his balance, he slipped on water and fell,
severely tearing the ligaments in his right leg.
