Boy impaled by bamboo through his neck!
D. H., 13, was rushed to the hospital with a bamboo stick impaled in his neck. He was playing a Ninja game with friends and decided to put the bamboo stick in the back of his shirt. "I guess when he jumped, the stick must have went forward," a friend and Ninja partner, told the station. "And when he hit the ground, the stick went in his neck." .It sounds counterintuitive, but it's important to leave the object in place. Even if an object is impaled in the eye, don't pull it out. You don't know what the damage is to the structure underneath. The object may be stopping the bleeding that may be happening. If it is going through an artery, if you pull it out, the leak may explode.Luckily for D., the stick did not hit an artery and he recovered well after the surgery.
