OK, I got this in an email and knew I had to share this here. It's quite disturbing so if you are squeamish you probably should not look at the picture. I will post the picture in the next post so that anyone that reads this that doesn't want to see the pic doesn't have to.
Read this before you open the picture!!
This is an actual emergency room photo of a fisherman who lost control
of
his high-speed bass boat in West Virginia. Wardens believe that he was
traveling at a speed of approximately 75 mph at the time of the
accident.
He was unable to negotiate a curve in the narrow waterway.
Unfortunately for him, upon striking the shoreline and being ejected
from
the boat, he landed back end first on an old fence post. You can
probably
picture what happened next, but the attached picture really says it
all.
The good news is that after about 6 months, this man made a full
recovery
after suffering a shattered hip, broken leg, several broken ribs,
internal
injuries and soft tissue damage.
Doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post lodged itself
so
tightly that there was little or no blood loss.
