An Arizona grandfather is reported to be facing possible amputation of both legs after he trips on a very hot sidewalk and suffers burn injuries, according to news coverage.

The incident is described as involving a scorching walking surface that burns the man’s body after he falls. Reporting says the extent of his injuries has led to medical decisions that may include amputation, though the ultimate outcome depends on how the tissue damage develops and is treated.

The outlets that cover the story focus on the severity of the injuries and the medical response, including the possibility of amputation. Coverage also points to questions about sidewalk conditions and temperature, but specific findings about cause, liability, or any official determination are not consistently detailed across the information provided.
