Good point, but how had he must have fallen on a four-foot fence to impale himself in this way? My oldest son in 4'5", and I can't imagine how this guy fell on top of this fence unless he took a running jump or something.

I saw a construction work fall off a scafolding? from 25ft in the air and he landed on a piece of rebar that had been sticking out of the ground about 12 inches and had not been capped. It entered between his rectum and scrotum. YIKES! The worst part is that they had to use a cutting torch to cut the rebar in half so the man could be transported to the hospital. To add insult to injury, there was a story published in the local newspaper about the incident. OUCH!

What does the height of your oldest son have to do with anything? I mean, that sure if fascinating that he's 4'5" and all, but really, is it pertinent to this story?
This guy that died was a full grown man - figure 6 ft tall or so, say 200 lbs. It's easy to imagine a man like that catching a spike under his chin or below his jaw. Gruesome.
