Mitchell bought himself a home in Colorado，a plane and a bar．Later he teamed upwith two friends and co-founded a wood burning stove company that grew to be the second largest private employer in his state．Six months later he was piloting the plane．Then four years after the motorcycle accident，the plane Mitchell was piloting crashed back onto the runway during takeoff, permanently paralyzing(使…癱瘓)him from the waist down．
