Ouch!! (not for those with a weak stomach.)

DON'T DRIVE THAT FISHING BOAT TOO FAST! So you thought YOU had a bad day at the office. . .




This is an actual emergency room photo of a fisherman who lost control of his High Speed Bass Boat in West Virginia .
The warden's 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 and unfortunately for him, upon striking the shoreline, he was ejected from the boat and landed on an old fence post.

You can probably picture what happened next, but this photograph really says it all.

The good news is 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. The doctors credited his recovery to the fact that the post lodged itself so tightly that there was little or no blood loss.
