Man loses leg playing Pokemon Go


Eldorado

Recommended Posts

Surgeons were forced to amputate the leg of a man who fell onto railway tracks while playing Pokemon Go.

The Briton suffered high-voltage electrical burns in the accident, which has been flagged by doctors to illustrate the rising number of people injured while distracted by mobile phones.

Pedestrian injuries caused by mobile phone use increased by 35 per cent between 2010 and 2014, according to a previous study, and ownership of devices has since continued to grow.
