A fisherman is lucky to be alive after he was shot in the head with a spear during a fishing trip in Brazil.
The 27-year-old man — identified in local television reports as Hugo Pereira da Silva — was on a fishing trip with a friend at the Rio Paranaiba dam in Araguari when the 3-foot spear pierced his face on Tuesday, according to officials, Diaro de Pernambuco reported.
“Unfortunately, they were not careful with the positioning, the distance,” Araguari fire department Deputy Lt. Lucenildo Batista Alves told the site. “And the waters of the river in our region are murky, especially in the very dirty rainy season.”
The metal shaft — which was just inches away from causing more serious injuries or even death — was removed and the man was released from a hospital Wednesday.

He needs to buy a lottery ticket after pulling off that stunt. Under normal circumstances, he'd be given a Darwin Award. Lucky SOB.
ReplyDeleteSurely he wins the competition for the most bizarre body piercing!
