patient who lost control of his SUV and went off the road. The top rail of a chain link fence went through the vent window on his truck, through his lateral chest wall, through the seat, through the back seat, and through the floor of the jeep. At no time did he lose consciousness, and only complained of being slightly short of breath. Advanced Care Paramedics arrived and started IV fluid during the extrication. The patient could not be removed from his seat, so the patient and seat were removed from his vehicle as a unit. The patient underwent immediate surgery and recovered fully. The patient was not interested in keeping the seat.    |

I bet that hurt like a bitch.  Cannot even imagine being speared through the chest like that. Imagine trying to breathe with that thing in your lungs. |

Imagine looking down and seeing THAT in your chest! Pretty weird sight to see at the E.R. to see a guy with a pipe through his chest, still in the car seat! Bet that one was quite a topic at the water cooler the next day!

Not so much the pain and the mental anguish but, imaine how long it took to cut the pipe and remove the seat. You would have to go slow so you didn't damge or move anything. As moving the pipe a 1/4 inch may cause something to rupture or cause bleeding. That would just suck ! Sitting there waiting.
