I've seen lots of weird and nasty things before, but never that! Do you happen to know what happened?

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.

I first saw this photo on a Bike website, of course it said it was from a bike wreck.....Snopes says it's from a pick up truck wreck in Arkansas

Yeah, this one was discussed at length and shown to not be a bass boat accident, on this site less than a year ago.

First time I saw this photo was on this site about 7 or 8 years ago. It pops up from time to time.
