Flying Umbrella Ended In Schoolboy’s Eye

Here’s a very good reason why you shouldn’t play around with your umbrella indoors. You might really poke someone’s eye out.

This freak accident happened in a high school in Yokohama, whereby a high school boy is now lying unconscious in hospital after an umbrella that a classmate was swinging in their classroom broke, flying into his left eye.

His friend was swinging around an umbrella like a baseball bat in a classroom when it came loose from its handle, sticking into the victim’s left eye.

Japan Probe has a very nice video of the news report on this as accident as well.

This is such an unfortunate accident. How could you ever face you friend again if you were the one responsible for poking his eye out and nearly killing him.

    Ow. I’ll never play with umbrellas again. Only knives and darts for me now.

    Bad jokes aside, it must have been a scary and traumatic incident for his classmates.. Just try to imagine a friend of yours having his eye impaled by an umbrella, right in front of you- it’s not a very nice thing.

    If I impaled my friend’s eye, I would give him one of mine…..that seems to be the only thing to make up for it. Otherwise I would hold it against him. :X haha

    Damn, that would’ve been painful. Just imagining it makes me cringe… LOL, I like how the news reporter started swinging the umbrella, would’ve been funny if the umbrella flew and stabbed the cameraman somewhere painful.>_<

    @ MizuhoChan: I think its beyond ouch, it should be like WTFBBQZOMGSSO

    @ Coco the Bean: Maybe you can wear some protective eyegear when you go out.

    @ Dee: Yeah, poor dude.

    @ Mizunaga: I think is like a bad horror movie.

    @ aikyrie: I doubt you can just install a new eye that easily, the nerves are probably damaged by that incident. Maybe the friend will now have to “look out” for him.

    @ slvrkramer: Then we will have 2 piece of umbrella related incident news.
