Barry Corbet, who survived a 1968 helicopter crash with a T12/L1 spinal cord injury, edited New Mobility magazine from 1991 to 2000. A widely published author and filmmaker, Corbet made a trio of films — Changes, Outside and Survivors — and wrote the book Options: Spinal Cord Injury and the Future. 2023 saw the release of Full Circle, a documentary that adapted material from Options and linked Corbet’s journey with that of Trevor Kennison, the first sit-skier to launch into Corbet’s Couloir, the ski run named for Corbet in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Before his SCI, Corbet was a world-renowned mountaineer selected for America’s first official team to attempt Mount Everest. Read the full story of his life here.
