Pretty wild stuff.

The 32-year-old nurse, who works in wound care at a hospital in Billings, Montana, did a self-assessment. He was alert. There was little pain or blood. And the pole wasn’t moving. The group used a satellite-based communication device, a Garmin inReach, to contact local authorities and inform them of their plan to self-rescue.

There was little pain or blood.

The blood is all on the inside. That’s where it’s supposed to be right?

  When impaled by something, be it pole or knife, it is usually best to not pull it out because it kind of keeps it plugged to some extent. Also, if the right picture shows him impaled it doesn’t look like it hit any bigger blood vessel or pierce the lung.

  Is detail pointless? Guess that must be a twitter generation thing.

    More of a “selling out is hella lame” Gen X thing, but I’ll take that compliment anyway
