Guy crashes paraglider into forest, impaled by 12 inch diameter branch. Taken to hospital branch in tow. Glibly takes it very well telling folk I am groot.
Pics in link, scary looking but not terribly graphic imo.

My shoulders already hurt before clicking the link. OUCH!!!
Lucky dude.
If I ever have to be impaled by a tree, that's exactly how I hope it happens.
OK...that branch is way too big to be stuck into any bodily orifice, especially where none was present before. But it's not 12 inches in diameter. Maybe 3 or 4. 12" in circumference, maybe.
How in the holy hell did that thing pass thru his shoulder like that? Amazing.
Could be 12cm (4.72"). It is Eastern Eurorpe, after all.
Good point. That looks about right. Still way to freakin' big to be driven thru a shoulder joint. Or any joint.
Looks extremely painful.
Some of the comments in the article are...disappointing.
Yep,....that would suck a bit.Quote:

All the best to him in his recovery.
Hope his insurance covers loss of limb [ROFL2]
Who knows, he could lose the limb he was born with in addition to the one he added. I don't think the tree had coverage.
Holy shit!!!
We gotta ban branches longer than 3 ft.
I bet when he watches Terminator 2: Judgement Day, he just feels like, "Meh, I've been through worse."
Ouch!!!!!!
