Needing 13 Stitches
We were playing hide and seek at the neighbor’s farm and they were redoing the tin roof on the barn. There were some scrap pieces laying on the ground next to a couple of round hay bales. Now, if any of you have seen those tin pieces, they are quite thin and can cut you pretty easily.
Well, our friend thought it would be a good idea to climb the bales and get on top of the barn roof. When he jumped from the top bale, his foot got caught up in the plastic and it pulled him to the ground on one of those pieces of tin. It sliced his throat. We thought he was a goner.
By the time his dad got over there, it was a mess. Blood all over the side of the barn, he’s screaming, we were all crying. They rushed him to the emergency room, only to find out he missed his carotid artery by .5mm… Luckiest kid I’ve ever met. That was the last time I played hide and seek. guitarmaniac17
