Amazing stories of people who survived the Impossible and what should have been fatal injuries, from being cut in half to having a 4 foot metal spike go clean though the mans head, they could be considered either very unlucky or very lucky depending on your point of view. http://curious-droid.com/ign6 In June 2006 38 year Truman Duncan from Cleburne, Texas was working at his job on the railway. He was in the process of connecting two rail cars when he slipped and ended up falling under the wheels of the moving railcar which effectively cut him in half. He lost part of his pelvis, his left leg, kidney and his right leg from below the thigh. When most people would have just passed out during this horrific accident he managed to hang the train until it came to a stop and then rang 911 on his cell phone to alert the emergence services...... Being a British solder in Afghanistan is a dangerous occupation at the best of times but for combat medic lance corporal Dean Bousfield the 2nd July 2010 would become a life changing day. He was 3 months in to a tour of duty when out on a routine patrol he was shot in the head by a sniper. The bullet went straight through his helmet and passed right through his brain before exiting his skull above his right ear and lodging in the helmet on the opposite side to which it entered...... Getting shot by one bullet can be fatal but getting shot 16 times and still living to tell the tale is more like a miracle than a recovery but thats what happened to Joseph Guzman as he was leaving a bachelor party in Queens, New York on Nov 25th 2006. Guzman said that he was leaving the party with two friends, Trent Benefield and Sean Bell who was getting married later that morning. The three men were driving away from the party when they were hit by a minivan, then according to Guzman a black man with a silver gun started shooting at the car, then more people started shooting at as well....... Phineas Gage is the one earliest documented cases of a severe brain injury and in many ways kick started modern neurology because of the ongoing study of the major personality changes he suffered after the accident. Gage was a foreman of a railroad crew and on the 13th Sept 1848 was excavating rocks to make way for a railroad track. They did this by drilling holes in the rock and placing explosives in them. On that day he was compacting explosive powder in to a hole in the rock with a tamping iron, a large iron rod about 4 feet long and 1-1/4” inches in diameter, blunt at one end and pointed at the other when a spark ignited the explosive in the hole and fired the tamping iron out at high speed and through gages head, entering below the cheek and exiting completely out of the top of his head before it landed some 30 yards away........ Sometimes even when you think you’ve had enough of life, a higher power may well choose that’s its not your time go and you have to carry on living. That’s pretty much what happened to an un-named Oregon man who tried to kill himself with a nail gun… 12 times. The man was high on drugs and in a suicidal state when he turned the nail gun on himself and fired the 2 inch long nails in to his own head....... In the previous story we had a man trying kill himself with a nail gun, but in this one the man in question Dante Autullo from Chicago, was building a garden shed and had no intention of trying to kill himself, so when the nail gun he was using misfired, he thought he had just grazed his head as the nail flew past. He carried on building the shed and even did some snow ploughing, It was only when waking up the next day and feeling sick that he decided to go to the hospital. When doctors x-rayed him they found a 3-1/2 inch long nail embedded in the center of his brain just millimeters from his motor cortex......... To round this up video and still on a construction tool theme, California electrician Ron hunt was working up a ladder drilling in to an over head surface on August 15 2003 when the ladder started to gave way. He immediately threw down the drill but as he fell of the ladder he ended up falling face down on to the 18-inch-long, 1.5-inch diameter drill bit that went in through his right eye socket and out through back of his head.....
