OUCH!

[Sir John]

How lucky is this bloke, always assuming he lives?

He came within a few inches of getting impaled on that vertical rod.

His luck ended when he decided to climb out on the roof after that it was providence .

[Sir John]

Two broken ankles, two broken legs, broken pelvis, fractures spine, but no head injuries.

Condition "stable". More lucky then he deserves.

Many years ago I witnessed a car crash into the side rails of a road bridge at speed, the vertical posts had pipe rails running through them and as one post was broken by the impact of the car a pipe rail entered the car via one headlight and continued to spear through the car driver and through the back of the seat he was sitting on.

Police, ambulance and rescue crews managed to open the car door and cut the pipe leaving a section inside the man who was then taken to hospital where he survived.
