Spear gun goes off "accidentally" while being loaded, into a boys head.

Spear was sucessfully removed!

I would say both of God's eyes were shining on him that day.

Saw same or similar injury to a boy who ran into a piece of farm machinery. Rod/spear passes through middle of lobes where nothing vital is. Young boy had rod removed and skin wounds stitched for medical treatment with no lasting effects. Amazing luck in both cases.

No clue! That is amazing though! Glad he survived!

Damage the brain stem you're dead, damage the cortex & you're...different.
