A man’s leg became impaled on a steel bar after he fell while trying to put curtains up at his home.
Paramedics were called to a house in Hale Carr Grove, Heysham, at just before 7.30pm on Monday after the man, believed to be in his 50s, toppled onto the bar.
He fell between a window and the bed in the first-floor bedroom and around 30cm of the three metre bar pierced the main thigh muscle of his left leg.
Ambulance crews called firefighters from Morecambe who spent around 45 minutes cutting the end off the bar with a hydraulic pedal cutter, usually used to help free people in road crashes.

Bloody hell! Reminds me of the time Mr. E. fell through our conservatory roof. He bled all over the place and I was forced to make him sit on a chair outside while he waited for an ambulance.

Similar to the tale of the Priest & the Potato

I've heard no end of stories about a naked vicar having accidents. One involved him having fag on a toilet at night and an explosion, and another was him bending down to look through a glass door, and a dog coming up behind him...
You'd think he'd learn.
Here, Kramar has been sent a licence-plate with the word "ASSMAN" on it, and he wants the right one:
A Million to one shot, Doc...
