In 2016, Mikhail Kiselev sustained a severe spinal injury.[6] The spinal cord was damaged, resulting in loss of movement and sensation in his arms and legs. Recalling the incident, he stated that the injury occurred while jumping on a trampoline, an activity he had previously practiced as an acrobatics enthusiast. According to his account, he immediately realized he had fractured his neck and, drawing on first-aid training, instructed those around him on how to assist.
Since the injury, he has been using a wheelchair for mobility. He has been actively involved in promoting legislation aimed at improving accessibility for people with limited mobility.[7]
