Now This Must Have Hurt

[searchman2]

This is an actual emergency room photo of a fisherman who lost control of his high-speed bass boat in West Virginia.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post lodged itself so tightly that there was little or no blood loss. Now that's got to hurt!!!<br /><br />The link to the photo is below. I suggest that adults only view this photo. It is not XXX, but is very graphic.<br /><br /> http://rivaforums.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/3686010134/m/2321028113/r/8781084313

Was it his boat, motorcycle, or instead his truck that crashed? We will never know!<br /><br /> http://www.snopes.com/photos/gruesome/splinter.asp

OOOuuuccchhh!!! That must have hurt like the ****ens. If it is true that he is speeding at 75mph then he shouldn't be allowed in the local waterway. Stun like this should be done in the open water, where there are plenty of space to move around, not resticted and narrow waterway.

I bet he never drives his boat by the seat of his pants again.

I don't even want to look close enough to that picture to decide if it was photoshoped. From a quick glance I find it hard to believe anyone could survived something like that.

It looks quite realistic to me. I believe that cute nurse is excited to see such a woodie!

If snopes is to be believed, he didn't live but a few days past that photograph. It claims the photo is real though.<br /><br />But good god, that's a harsh way to go!
