Freak Accident Leaves Schoolboy With Umbrella In Eye
The next time you see a kid swinging an umbrella around, you better watch out:
A high school boy is unconscious in hospital after an umbrella that a classmate was swinging in their classroom broke, flying into his left eye, school officials said Saturday.
At around 3:50 p.m. on Friday, a 16-year-old student at private Toin Gakuen High School in Aoba-ku, Yokohama, was swinging around an umbrella like a baseball bat in a classroom when it came loose from its handle, according to the officials, sticking into the victim’s left eye.
The 16-year-old victim was rushed to a hospital where he remains unconscious. Doctors diagnosed him as suffering from brain injuries and damage to his left eyeball.

In my opinion, this is too sick to be reported by the media.
It’s always funny until… oh wait….
Drats, RYO beat me to it.
thats wild.
I guess we can assume the umbrella was NOT a cheap 100yen model from China, as that surely would have become the focus of the report.
Must have been an expensive but cheaply made Japanese piece of crap.
But this story doesn’t beat the one about the Japanese guy riding his bike home and towing another alongside with his hand, then crashing, and the brake handle somehow wedged itself into his eye socket and poked his brain, so he died.
why was he swinging the umbrella in the classroom to begine with? people should use things for what they are intended. an umbrella protects you from the rain. it is not a sword. i feel sorry for the boy in the hospital, his family, the boy who swung the umbrella and his family and all the students and teachers at their school. what a horrifying accident.
