Listemann made the jump with his replacement leg just two days after it arrived. The jump went so well that Listemann, a veteran skydiver, was considering going for two more jumps this weekend. The original prosthetic disappeared into thin air during a jump in Gardiner, NY and never recovered despite his best efforts to track it down. It my have have come off because of sweat on his stump.
