Ksubis Dan Single reveals health battle after Paris balcony fall

KSUBI founder Dan Single has revealed his remarkable return to health since a horrific balcony fall a year ago left him facing the possibility of never walking again.

Mr Single spent three months in hospital after he fell 35 metres from the four-storey balcony of Hotel Grand D’Amour in Paris, where he was working with then-wife, model Bambi Northwood-Blyth, in March last year.

The Australian fashion designer suffered a broken pelvis and hips, shattered legs, internal trauma and a blow to the head after he slipped and landed on the street below. He was in an induced coma for eight days and afterwards was told he might never walk again.

More than a year on from the horrifying incident, Mr Single revealed on Instagram he was now fit and healthy, having completed the gruelling 6.3 kilometre trek along Los Angeles’ famous Runyon Canyon.

Mr Single posted an image taken by photographer Mark Hunter that showed him on hanging onto an electric tower, along with the caption: “Life 2.0.”

“Exactly 13 months after my accident I just did Runyon Canyon,” Mr Single wrote.

“Crawled on hands and feet up the hills but hit the top ... Felt like I’d conquered Mt Everest.”

Last month, Mr Single shared images of himself in hospital, injecting himself with painkillers, and an watering X-ray of his shattered pelvis to mark the one-year anniversary of his fall.

“A year ago today I was dead,” he posted on March 10. “I had just fallen off a four-storey balcony in Paris. Landed on the road, broke lots of bones in my body, hit my head, DIED.

“(I) came back to life, was in a coma for eight days.

“I had 10 operations to put this body back together again. Spent the next three months on my back in a hospital in Paris. I was told I might never walk again.”

He also said: “I returned home in a wheelchair. Two months later I was slowly getting about on crutches. I knew that if I put my mind to it and worked really hard I could recover and walk again. I’m still doing it, recovering.”

Mr Single also revealed he had split from wife from Northwood-Blyth, 27, after almost four years of marriage.

“When I fell, my hips and pelvis broke in half and with that our co-dependent relationship broke too,” he wrote on Instagram. “We were no longer joined at the hip.

“Two people cannot live as one, it’s not healthy. You can try but you’re really living half a life. We both have our journeys to go on now, ones that we couldn’t have gone on together. We are respectful and happy for what each other has got going on, no bad vibes.

“I will love her to the moon and back for eternity … I learnt a lot from her and am so grateful to have shared many adventures with this beautiful girl.”
