Eduardo Madina was the victim of a terrorist attack when he was driving, without an escort, from his home to his job in Sestao, on February 19, 2002. A bomb placed on the underside of his car by a unit of the separatist group ETA, composed of Iker Olabarrieta and Asier Arzalluz, caused him serious injuries, including amputation of the left leg at the height of his knee. As a consequence of the injuries suffered he had to leave his volleyball team, the UPV Bizkaia, where he played professionally.
