Overview

• Jeremy Renner describes the 'tiny but monumental slip of the mind'—failing to engage the parking brake and disengage steel tracks—that led to his snowcat accident on New Year's Day 2023.
• While attempting to save his nephew from the sliding 14,000-pound snowcat, Renner was thrown forward onto the ice and crushed under the machine, sustaining 38 broken bones and other severe injuries.
• Renner remained conscious throughout the ordeal, vividly recalling the sounds of his bones breaking and the machine grinding over his body.
• After emergency airlifting and multiple surgeries, Renner underwent months of rehabilitation and has since returned to acting, completing projects like 'Mayor of Kingstown' and 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.'
• An excerpt from his memoir, 'My Next Breath,' published in The Times, provides a cathartic recounting of the accident, his recovery, and the strength he draws from his family and resilience.
