Still Waters Posted September 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Sheldon Mpofu, 37, was turning soil when he swung the massive tool but hit his washing line on the way down. The pick-axe swung back and the pointed end hit him in the middle of the head, missing his brain and entering a sinus - an empty space in the skull. Despite his injury he still took a bus to hospital where doctors were stunned the pickaxe had not killed him. http://www.telegraph...-his-skull.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted September 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Has health and safety and pure old common sense not hit West Yorkshire yet? You do not have to be a lumberjack to know that swinging a massive tool (pick axes) near the washing lines do not go well together! Sorry, but there is only one massive tool here and thats HIM.
