:oops: I'm sure you've heard of Darwin Awards....heres a runner up.
Doctors at Portland Uni Hospital said an Oregon man shot through the skull by a hunting arrow is lucky to be alive and will be released soon from the hospital. Tony Roberts, 22, lost his right eye last weekend during an initiation into a mens rafting club, Mountain Men Anonymous in Grants Pass, Oregon. A friend tried to shoot a beer can off his head, but the arrow entered Roberts right eye. Doctors said that had the arrow gone 1mm to the left, a major blood vessel would have been cut nad Roberts would have died instantly. Neurosurgeon Doctor John Delashaw at the Uni Hospital in Portland said the arrow went through 8 to 10 inches of brain with the tip protruding at the rear of his skull, yet somehow managed to miss all major blood vessels. Delashaw also said that had Roberts tried to pull the arrow out on his own he surely would have killed himself. Roberts admitted afterwards that he and his friends had been drinking that afternoon. Siad Roberts" I feel so dumb about this." No charges have been filed, but the Josephine County district attorneys office said the initiation stunt is under investigation.
Man, the winner have must of been good?
