The craziest F'ing thing I've ever seen

[Nomad]

This.

Leroy Luetscher, a Wisconsin native who now lives in Green Valley in southern Arizona, said he had just finished trimming plants in his backyard on July 30 when he lost his balance and fell on the pruning shears.
The tool went into his right eye socket and down into his neck, resting against the carotid artery. Half the shears were left in his head pushing up against his eye, while the other half was sticking out.

And here's the kicker to me...

Luetscher still has slight swelling in his eyelids and minor double vision but has otherwise recovered.

Anyone top that?

Terribly lucky individual... I probably could top it but later.

Iam guessing it was not the sharp end that went in first....
So much about the 'running with scissors'.....

(I am just assuming they faked that Xray! It's too yucky to accept it's real!)

If that makes you feel better, I guess you can, but they did interview the surgeon who extracted them.

of course only because it makes me feel better...like that infamous ER story (RL one that is) with the guy having a 6 inch or so hunting knife stuck in his skull, though it got there in a nefarious way, not by falling with scissors....

Sometime get an ER nurse to talk about lightbulbs and soda bottles... and where they have been taken out of.

Or a corrections officer.

Thank you, I pass

If you are squeamish about this stuff, do not google 'fence and impaled.'

Somehow the line "I slipped and fell on it" is more believable in this case than most of the ones you're referencing

Ouch.

A friend of the family jumped off the top rail of the truck the same way he had thousands of times, landed on a piece of rebar.
