BIGREDIOWAN Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Our Assistant Chief had something crazy like this happen to him a few months ago. He was cleaning his grill with one of those attachments you can put on your power drill. His safety glasses got fogged up and he took them off for a split second...........just then one of the wires shot off of the attachment and threw his left eye all the way back to his optic nerve. He's currently in the last stages trying to get his vision back in that eye. Hurts thinking about it............ Quote Link to comment
308_Husker Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I just don't understand how something like that happens. Or how the shears fit in his head like that. Quote Link to comment
zonaSker Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I just don't understand how something like that happens. Or how the shears fit in his head like that. I see two options-one not so bad, the other bad. One, under the skin of his eye socket and down his face outside his skull. Two, through the nasal cavity, roof of his mouth & downwards(yikes). I'm guessing it was #1 Quote Link to comment
CornHOLIO Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It was #2 But through the orbital bone and in front of the roof of his mouth Quote Link to comment

HUSKER 37 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Where's the neck? The CT appears to show the "Head Bone" connected to the "Shoulder Bone". But then again, If you had some nippers tickling your brain you'd tense up and shrug your shoulders as long as you possibly could. Quote Link to comment
