Default Another freak accident

Quote:
Surgery was needed to repair a student’s neck following a freak accident involving metal blinds at Henry Wise Wood school.
Calgary Board of Education spokesman Ted Flitton said the male student was sitting close to a outside wall Tuesday afternoon when another student lowered the blinds too aggressively, causing them to fall hard and slice his neck.
Yikes hope that kid heals up quickly

I can't believe this is news. In a related story, a student at an unnamed high school fell and broke his arm. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Haha, the best part was where the kid "lowered the blinds to aggressively"...how is that possible? He dropped the blinds? And why was the other kid's neck there? Oh the horror!!!

Whats the definition of "Aggressive Blind Lowering?"

Just fast? Or is malicious intent considered?

Mock him if you must, but I, for one, have had 'Sun Rage' before. That damn star just doesn't know when to stop shining. Sometimes you gotta shut the blinds. To hell with whoever may be in the way.

So the vice-principal said the mother thought "it looked big enough it would require stitches," and the kid ended up having surgery ?!!?

Why to underestimate the wound.
