Third Case Points to Ongoing Safety Concerns
The same year in Australia, a man in his 60s was impaled by a javelin after he fell three metres through a roof — another extreme example of how unexpected injuries can require extensive hospital resources, insurance claim assessments, and rehabilitation therapy.
The horrific incident happened in Gladstone, Queensland.
Emergency crews worked to remove the javelin from the man’s leg and rushed him to Gladstone hospital to treat the gruesome injury.
A process that likely involved complex surgical procedures, diagnostic lab testing, and post-operative wellness monitoring.
