i know this is a really dumb post but ive never head of anyone get really hurt by getting impaled by their pole..i mean it seems like it could happen all the time if you land on your side or somthing..i donno have you guys every heard of anything
my buddy crashed one time and stabed himself in the stomach.....it was a pretty heinous wound but nothign major was hurt...could have been worse i guess....just a puncture in the gut
