Construction worker survives drill through head

TRUCKEE, California (AP) -- Ron Hunt\'s friends have good reason to call him the "Miracle Man."

The construction worker lost an eye but survived a freak accident without brain damage after falling from a ladder and onto an 18-inch-long drill bit that impaled his skull.

"I\'m very fortunate I\'m not paralyzed or dead," the 41-year-old electrician said Friday.
The 1.5-inch diameter chip auger drill bit was still in his head when his brother, Chris Hunt, and nephew, Ben, met him in a hospital emergency room in Reno, Nevada.

While drilling above his head on August 15, the six-foot ladder Ron Hunt was standing on started to wobble so he tossed the drill aside -- as construction workers are trained to do.
But he fell off the ladder face-first and onto the drill.
"I ran my hands up the drill bit, up to my eye, and put my other hand in the back of my head and felt it coming through the back of my head," he said. "And that\'s where pretty much the shock set in."
Doctors said the drill bit pushed his brain aside rather than pushing into it, which likely would have caused serious brain damage or death. After weighing their options, doctors essentially unscrewed the bit to remove it.
His nephew thinks he\'ll be able to laugh about it someday.
"It\'s just going to be one of those stories," Ben Hunt said. "He\'ll joke around with his glass eye and pop it out."

Holy Shit indeed. How did the drill sit up right when he tossed it though, thats crazy.
-
with a bit that size, you can bet it was a big-ass drill with a side handle....
-
That drill bit is almost as big as my penis.:tomato:
-
sawit in the paper yesterday... its crazy, he is v lucky to be alive
-
I\'m glad to see he\'s fine and only lost an eye. But damn, he\'s one lucky guy.
-
That\'s got to sting just a little bit.
-
Pansy. A true man would of fell on it and yanked it out...At least that\'s how they do it in the movie\'s.
Whatta wuss.

Reminds me of that kid who had half his brain blown out in a store raid....... And survived.
It was on Ripleys believe it or not, as he turned his head towards the camera, my stomach turned with it, a full half of his skull was gone, it was like a deflated football.
Amazing thing is that he survived, and aparently somehow, according to specialists that helped in his recovery, his brain "reprogrammed" itself to use parts that humans don\'t use. Last I heard, he had graduated through collage and now holds down a steady job.

God I can relate to this, erm sort of.
Today since school started we are beginning to do the safety stuff in creative woods. A guy from the local mine comes and shows us accident slides(pictures) of people he worked with.
This dude had a wrench sticking through his forhead and coming out his ear. Sadly he was dead, but it was the most disturbing thing I had ever seen. Other pictures included fingers that had been sawed off by an electric saw, they were like stubs with blood of fountains coming out, and a guy who got a wire wrapped around his hand (all the way, intwined) and it got caught in a machine, it was a like a cheese slicer.
:barf:
-
IS creative woods a new term for "Shop class"?
-
Call it shop class wood shop. It sounds cooler that way. Calling it creative woods is kind of gay :ghey:
-
