    Default I am Groot! Scary tough eastern europeans.

    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.

    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.

    Good point. That looks about right. Still way to freakin' big to be driven thru a shoulder joint. Or any joint.

    No thanks. Not for me. Nope, no branches through my shoulder.
