Seven Fatal Injuries That Were Survived

Cracked has the stories of seven horrific injuries that should have killed the victim, but they recovered anyway. Some you may never have heard before, like the story of Channing Moss, who served with the US military in Afghanistan and was shot in the side by a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG).

When the doctors at the field hospital found out he had a whole, working rocket inside him, there was the usual panic and screaming until someone finally calmed down enough to try and save his life. This was despite the fact that the army manual called for him to be dumped far away from everyone and treated last. Seriously, nothing makes you more unpopular to a group than having a live bomb inside you.

But the rocket was removed and doctors found it had somehow missed all of Moss’ vital organs. Link -via Gorilla Mask
