Lord Trenchard, the guy who founded the RAF, was invalided out of the services after a wound that knackered his spine leaving his legs paralyzed and him in a wheelchair, which he and everyone else thought would be for life.
But in his retirement, a year or two later he decided to take up the new sport of bobsleighing. After falling off one at high speed in the middle of a run, his whole body twisted round so violently it dislodged a large lump of shrapnel from his spine, and he stood up and started walking normally again.
