The attached photo of a fisherman who lost control of his high-speed bass boat in West Virginia shows it pays to be careful. Officials believe that he was travelling 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. Now that's got to hurt!!!
