Fishing is Dangerous?

Jughead turned me onto this story.

Man dies from freak fishing accident (http://www.newsday.com/news/printedition/longisland/ny-lifish305782274jul30,0,2052483.story)

After looking at X-rays, doctors at Nassau University Medical Center, where Chicas was taken, saw that the sinker of Chicas' fishing pole had just missed his right eye and entered his head at the bridge in his nose. The momentum of the weight continued across the middle of his brain into the back left side of his head, where it stopped, neurologist Imran Wahedna said.

I'm going to take my favorite hobby more seriously.

Is this the part where I submit my multi-billion dollar idea for the fishing helmet that will keep our kids safe for generations to come? This way, when some asshole actually does invent it and make a fortune, I can come back here and post my "I told ya so". I will then spend the next day fishing, and drown myself...Like a gentleman.

When I went to pick my sons up from camp this afternoon, all of the kids who where fishing had safety goggles on. Don't want to take a chance at a fish hook in the eye I guess.

(yeah I know it's gross. Be thankful I didn't post the video of the surgery to remove a fish hook from an eye.)
