ouch!

I think you might want to lose the pic and keep the link.. with a warning!

+1 to what chunks said.......and ouch!

Lol he gets +2 rep for his injury. Someones even written it on his foot for him.

Just read the article and looked at the other pics but there's still something that looks a little bit SFX about it.

A bit like the 'nail through the finger' trick that you used to get in crackers.....but better!

Photochopped or faked surely. Where are the bones?

There is a slight bulge where the branch supposedly is but not really enough to suggest the force required for such a clean piercing.. Also, the end of the branch on the other side is only slightly bloody.. I'm willing to bet that if this did happen the wood would be slightly more damaged than it is

If he keeps stick-in at the physio, he should get over that injury in no time...

I think we've twigged that it's a spoof.

Perhaps this thread could branch out,
or should we just leaf it alone?

Whoever did the Photochop should take a bough for their skills...

Good that we've got to the root of the problem.

Perhaps this thread should be trunk-ated...

How did they treet it?

^...knot.

I hope the victim managed to coppice full compensation...

I wonder if the copse were involved?

Ah leaf it out. We've done tree related puns before.

Perhaps this thread could branch out,
or should we just leaf it alone?

he should probably 'stick' to riding outside the woods

Definitely doctored using Adobe Photo-synthesis.
Imagine the pine that guy must be in - Poor sap.

i like that as it went into his leg it neatly trimmed any little branches of as it went through....hmmm
also how would you flick up from the road such a large branch and get it stuck so far down the leg....hmmm
for some reason i dont think this is real....looks good though, but not real.

Course it's real, look at the shape of his shin in the first pic!
