Woman Impaled By Tree Survives Bizarre Accident!

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True > If You Are Easily Offended.....

This is all kinds of CRAZY!

22-year-old Michelle Childers and her husband Daniel were taking a leisurely drive in the Idaho Mountains when Michelle was impaled in the NECK with a 13-inch spruce tree branch that crashed through one of their truck windows!

She was so shell-shocked she didn't even immediately realize what had happened, asking her husband, "Where is it?"

Michelle's life was miraculously saved after a 6-hour operation at St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Montana.

That looks SO unbelievably painful!

Luckily, Michelle is now recovering at home.

Get well soon!

  14. 14

    OMG, Perez! You should not put such pictures open like that! It should be under "Click here to see the bizarre photos" or something like that. I now have to scroll quickly on the page!



  15. 15

    …Perez, you have had thicker things in your throat and no one was worried, right?



  16. 16

  36. 36

  37. 37

    there should be a warning before seeing these pics. thats disgusting.



  38. 38

    This takes the expression "getting smashed outta your tree" to a whole new level.



  39. 39

    that is sickening you need to put that behind a link because not everyone can stomach that.



  40. 40

  48. 48

    This is one you should have put under "Easily Offended!" I was not prepared to see that!!! Very disturbing!



  49. 49

    Ummm Perez… You should have put this behind a cut… this is disturbing. I would have clicked on it, but lots of people don't want to come to your site to see something like that…. poor girl… OWW!



  50. 50

    Jesus christ, Perez !!!!!!! I'm eating lunch - that photo should have been a "to see full pic, click here" deal . . . geez.



  51. 51

    Please warn me next time. I just lost my lunch.



  52. 52

  56. 56

    OOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMMMMMMMMM GGGGGGGGGGG



  57. 57

    omg that looks so wierd, how can she even breath?:O



  58. 58

    I'm glad to see this story. I'm from Libby, Montana and have been living in Idaho for going on 3 years now and it's nice to see stories close to my area. I remember watching this story on the new a few days ago. Its intense and super glad the girl survived!



  59. 59

    Re: karencarpenter – comment of the day hun… u win !!



  60. 60

    well, there goes my lunch…thanks perez!!



  61. 61

    I've seen a few of these types of things on Discovery Health and TLC. I can't imagine going through that or being one of the doctors who is treating it. She sure is lucky.



  62. 62

    Might just be me, but I don't find it disgusting or fear my lunch will come up. When I saw it I just stared for the few minute. I guess that's why I'm going into Nursing…



  63. 63

    How does something like that "accidentally" happen while you're casually driving by? It looks like the branch was launched at her from a cannon or something!



  64. 64

    That's insane! I go to the university in missoula, that's amazing she freakin' survived that.



  65. 65

    She didn't feel it because of the adrenaline rush. That's crazy though! She's going to have one hell of a scar afterwards and i'm sure her esophagus will be damaged she might have to breathe out of a tube in her neck for awhile…



  66. 66

    This needs to be under an easily offended header. SICK!



  67. 67

    That's probably what Mario will look like when he finally meets Rumer Willis face to face.



  68. 68

    ew why the hell is this on the main page…should be a freaking warning!



  69. 69

    omfg this is way to crazy nd grossssss goo thing she survived



  70. 70

    Holy crap that's disgusting!

    Man that looks like it urts like hell

    *shivers*



  71. 71

    holy shit, i thought that was an actress doing a movie scene. thats crazy hope shes doing okay.



  72. 72

    She will probably get her own reality or talk show, along with shark bite girl, and kate gosslind.



  73. 73

    Holy Fuck!! Poor chica… :( (



  74. 74

    How did that not kill her?



  75. 75

    When she walked into emergency they asked her "what seems to be the problem"



  76. 76

    Daryl Hannah is calling this old growth forest and trying to force her not to have it pulled out.



  77. 77

    Crazy! Brave girl



  78. 78

    WTF



  79. 79

    Well I was eating my breakfast

  82. 82

    OMG!!! thank god she is gunna be ok



  83. 83

    It's a miracle! Congratulations on surviving this, Michelle!! And she looks good, by the way.



  88. 88

  89. 89

    OMG! :O



  90. 90

    She was very fortunate that the branch did not hit her in the face. I wish her a speedy recovery!



  91. 91

    omqq :O ouch !



  92. 92

    And you show us you asshole?! What happened to your offensive pic warnings..



  93. 93

    I have always had a huge fear of driving behind a truck that was carrying items that could come loose. Or utility trucks with ladders attached. This is precisely why.



  94. 94

    thats some splinter



  95. 95

    Ow…
    Perez, I think that you should have done like, a "Click here for the pictures. (Warning, they are gross.)" Type of thing. I really wish I hadn't had seen that.



  96. 96

    disgusting ………………………
    ugh! That picture has just burned into my head and will forever haunt me.. DISGUSTING!



  97. 97

    oh god, i'm glad she's ok



  98. 98

  99. 99

    Weird.. No blood? Owie!! Poor girl.. Like a bad horror movie. aka "The Happening"



  100. 100

    God bless her, goodness poor thing. Glad she made it out alive.
