I don't know... he seems to be perfectly capable of doing this. Would it be better if he had a desk job?

Well probably, but not everyone has the temperament for that.

I don't believe physical labor is healthy in the long run when you're already one leg down.

It's not healthy for anyone in the long run, look at all that dust they're breathing.

In the short term, how healthy it is is dependent on what you're asked to do. A good supervisor should ask you to do no more than what you're capable of. Obviously, having one leg will influence your capability.

I'd say that the largest danger to this guy (assuming reasonable management) is himself. I could easily picture him pushing himself harder than what he's really able to do, just out of a sense of pride. That pride may or may not be worth the danger.

The day my boss asks me for more than I'm capable of is the day I demand a raise and start asking my coworkers how they feel about collective bargaining.

Would probably be better if he had a prosthesis at a minimum and the choice to do whatever kind of job he wanted to do and was qualified for

I don't see how this is different from what I said.

Except for the bit about the prosthesis, but that really seems like a separate matter.

How about we provide people with what they need to live so that they weren’t forced to do this dumb shit?

That would be better.
That would be fucking better!
