Another "Oh sh#t" picture!

I really don't understand how stuff like this happens. It's relatively humorous to see somebody shot in the ass and all, but spearguns are serious business. If the guy in the pic survived, he's lucky. There's no excuse for this shit.
Edit: I see now that it's below the waist, at first glance I thought it was above. Either way, ridiculous.

Looks fishy to me. That doesn't look like a long shaft unless they cut it, and so it wasn't a long gun. I don't think such a gun has enough power to go through a person sideways. I could be wrong. Either way serious shit.

Ouch...

i'm surprised it doensn't happen more often to be honest.. or maybe it's just not publicized when it does.

If people would treat it like a real gun, this can be avoided.

"But I had it on the safety!"

This shit happens more than you think. I mean look at youtube video of spearfishing. People are always pointing or dragging the gun across a body.

so stupid...i hope this guy is okay...the real bitch of it is that it is someone elses dumbass that will kill you, rarely your own stupidity....

It looks (from the background) like this cat's STANDING UP. Yikes... Oh, hell no! Gurney-city for me! He's obviously in pretty good shape so he'll stand the best chance... but, dayum! I wonder if they had to slice him from side to side so that everything (like his multiple lower intestine perforations) can be safely closed back up... and CLEANED up. Infection/sepsis after removal would be my biggest worry. I'm thinking Dan's on the money with it being cut, but even zipping through it as fast as possible, I Mr. Happytrail got some "warm fuzzies" in his tummy. There's no story to go with this pic, Bulit?

Edit: After looking at the pic sideways, I think he's laying down. The sheet's agreeing with gravity... and us. I'd hope nobody could be dumb enough to stand him up anyway.

I want to say, "Oh shit what an idiot!" but sadly without a story I don't know who's to blame.
